skategoat Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Here's your chance to meet fellow carvers for some billiards and beer. Hagen from N. California is visiting Toronto and plans to attend. We'll introduce him to snooker and Brador (do they still make that stuff?). Location is the Charlotte Room. 19 Charlotte St. http://www.charlotteroom.com/ Bruce V. is a maybe/probably so here's your chance to move up the queue with bribes and beers. RSVP here please. I have one table only booked right now under my name - Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm_wizard Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I'll try to make it, but I have to go pick up my car from a service at 5PM out at Brown's Line and Lakeshore, so I will be a bit slow coming back in.... John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagen Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Made it to Toronto - so I'm in. :) ...question for the guys who know the 404/407 area - where can I get decent coffee here? I'll probably need a triple or quad cappucino later today to survive... Hagen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hagen: No trip to Canada is complete without a trip to Tim Horton's. Ya, I still use the apostrophe even if the company doesn't. Is the coffee good? No, it sucks. But, it's cheap and if you need a boost, order the "Canadian Classic" - "Double-double and a maple dip". There's enough sugar in there to keep you going for 48 hours. No need to give you a location, there's one on every corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagen Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 ...that's where I went this morning. Also one of the reasons why I need to find a place with good coffee (i.e. a cappucino that tastes more like espresso than sugar)... :D Hagen.

skategoat Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Do a google maps search on "Timothy's" and "Second Cup", put "Markham, ON" in the where field. There's also Starbucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-CanCarve Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Consider me confirmed. Looking forward to seeing old faces and meeting new All the best, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Bumping this up. Thanks. Oh wait, I have some content. Anyone looking for carving skiis needs to run to Sporting Life to pick up the 2004/05 Atomic SX:10 that they are clearing out for $699.99. If you pay with Amex, you get $100 off. The 2005/06 version of this ski is $1,000. Great deal. I grabbed a set in 170cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csquared Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 .. but its only two blocks from my office so it would be ridiculous not to, right? Looking forward to seeing you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagen Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 ...one remaining question - how will I recognize you guys? I have a hard enough time to recognize the Tahoe Carvers crew without theit helmets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 You'll just have to ask around "Hey, are you guys from Bomber?" That should make you some fast friends. How about this - we'll all try to wear something snowboardy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm_wizard Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Helmets and goggles! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagen Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 ...good that the only warm water proof jacket that I had at home is from Spyder - that counts as snowboardy, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'll be there too but, I have to come back to my office again to kiss auditor's A$$ :o. Thank god I work couple blocks away from there. I'm wearing all black dress pants and shirt with silver gray metallic tie. Hopefully someone recognize me.

Guest Todd Stewart Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 yeah i figured you were on a work term or something linus, are you gonna be coming out to the university series boardercross this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 yeah i figured you were on a work term or something linus, are you gonna be coming out to the university series boardercross this year? Probably not. I have to take 7 courses (4Math(UW)+2Bus.(WLU)+Comp.Sci.(UW)). 7 courses + boardercross = academic probation?? :D :D :D Still, I might. I never go to any lectures anyway :p :p . Can you send me some information about the series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Todd Stewart Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 http://www.ontariosnowboarders.ca/schedule.html looks pretty well organized compared to years past, unfortunatly it looks like i'll be working for during most of the alpine events but im sure i'll i can make it to a bunch of them. Skategoat, the milton heights snowboarding program got swithed to boarder cross instead of both bx and alpine. However i'll be running it this year and im sure i can get enough racers to go to the alpine events as well as the bx. Also there are some additional alpine recreational events that i will probally go to anyways. So if you want your young one to get good coaching i still believe the milton heights program will be a good fit. email me at tstewa01_AT_uoguelph.ca if you have any questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
