Who are you going to be?

Beast, from X-Men. :P

[SpaceBridge]

What? Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Yup, canceled last week. Gillian Andersen will be there still...hopefully.

[Divvy]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...oooh Gillian Anderson

Bus driver on the 77 Route this afternoon was a hilarious asshole. He stopped at least three people to carefully examine their transfers, and kicked one tourist off the bus for not understanding the system (she got her transfer from the same station, not allowed). And he was doing about half the speed limit the entire length of the ride. I hope he's not a new regular on the route. :(

This I need to see. Are you in for Saturday and/or Sunday?

[Quick]

Also, any meetups happening during or after? Is it worth making a thread? I might just.

Last year there was a OT for Fan expo

Yep. Wasn't sure if it was still as big a deal to Toronto-GAF as it was, but I'll see if I can make one next week, since it would be a week before it starts by then.

Gillian Andersen will be there still...hopefully.

My teenage self wishes I could go.

[Quadratic]

There was a meet up last year during fan expo, but it was not at the venue. We went to Gretzky's. Firestorm organized it last year.

[Quick]

I'll be there for Saturday and Sunday, and I'll have my hands full with meeting up a bunch of people, before, during, and after, but I wouldn't mind bumping into Gaffers on the showroom floor or somewhere along those lines.

I never understand why drivers act like this. I like the drivers that barely even turn their head to examine your pass/transfer. I guess it's a power trip or something.

I once got one of those "check every pass and transfer closely" drivers on the 32. I theorized that either the dude had to deal with a lot of students trying to scam free rides, or he was doing a one man "work to rule" thing.

A trip that would normally take 10 minutes was taking twice as long, if not longer. Lots of people were visibly fed up after I was on for about 4 blocks.

Kicking a tourist off the bus is just dickish.

Yeah some TTC drivers are just mean in general. I kinda hope that the announcements about the TTC hiring new people is due to them getting rid of all the cruel or inhuman drivers. (I know that there is no chance of this happening)

[Prax]

I will be at the Fan Expo with my cousin and a friend~!
We got tables in Artist Alley!

But hopefully none of you will know who I am if you go...
Oh gawd, I have so much trepidation about internet and real-life colliding and losing the safe mystique of anonymity!

Happy Sunday!

I'll only be there one day, but I'm not sure which day yet. I'm just letting my friend decide. (He's going as Wolverine. :P)

[Brinbe]

Going with a few friends on Friday... most excited about Booker T/Billy West.

[EvilMario]

Progress at the aquarium via Urban Toronto. Apparently they're filling tanks to test them now. I haven't been down to this area in over a year myself.. might have to check it out soon..

And random cool skyline picture from SkyscraperCity

I hope they are all replaced with Google self-driving busses. Pretty sure the public would go for that. :)

Did anyone hit up the Taste of Danforth on the weekend? This was the first year I've gone and actually ate some of the food. Highlight of the night had to be two blonde chicks all of a sudden brawling in the middle of the street.

I missed out on baconfest though it was way too early in the morning. I hope to go next year to check it out.

Every time you post these, I think "I really need to collect a set of Toronto skyline pictures to use as wallpaper." I've been using alternating comic book wallpapers for like six months.

We use to go just to walk, but given the price ($5 corn on the cob is about the cheapest you'll 'taste') and the crowd, we've passed it up the last few years.

Went to baconfest, except we got there at 12 so there was like very little bacon left :(

Taste of the danforth has been getting worse each year so we opted not to go this year, though I'm sad to have missed that street brawl.

I MISSED THIS?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

For those interested, Staples between Summerhill and Rosedale is selling the 3DS XL early.

Articulated buses set to return to the TTC. I use to ride these in Seattle. Not sure if it'll help on routes like Dufferin where buses crowd, but I guess it could.

I got to try Kangaroo last year...two years ago now? For $3. Sometimes the novelties are worth it.

But I wouldn't pay for corn.

[BigJonsson]

I remember the accordion TTC buses, I've always wondered what happened to them lol

I just made reservations at Woodlot for my 8 year anniversary with my lovely lady. I can't wait. It's our favourite restaurant.

When are they going to learn that all this surface level transit is a poor solution? I realize that subway expansion is slow and expensive, but I still can't believe they poured money into new street cars.

I expect an event-filled adjustment process for these new buses.

You guys were on Video and Arcade top 10? Haha you guys are old. I remember that show though, such terrible prizes. Kids game shows never had great prizes though. Remember UH OH!

I was on Uh Oh. Wish i could find the episode

Oh that Rob Ford, what a rapscallion. It's a good thing mayors don't have to face consequences of their actions. Otherwise he'd be in a lick of trouble. Teehee

[Roto13]

Waitaminute, that doesn't sound right.

Rob Ford reads?

[Zombie James]

"Probably"

[Fuzzy]

"Probably"

He was looking for the pictures. That ain't reading.

[BigJonsson]

They should take away his license

[Zombie James]

Unfortunately I think it'll only be a matter of time before his idiotic driving kills someone. "I'm busy" isn't an excuse for being a dumbass.

[EvilMario]

At least he doesn't blow past streetcar doors. And don't forget his undying support for transit and cyclist.

Oh wait. But at least he's never been convicted of a DUI.

Our Mayor, ladies and gentlemen. Person taking a photo of him reading is dangerous as well :/
