PhishyK Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Word to the herd I got a place in Toronto over the internet dude! I'm now sending a ton of cash to my new landlord. So who lives near Cabbagetown/Boystown? Let's hang out. My new place is on Seaton south of Gerrard, East of Sherbourne. Big smoke, here I come. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieDon'tSurf Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Boystown? I think Mickey Rooney or Spencer Tracey (as the drunken Irish priest) might be nearby, but other than that i'm totally baffled! Congrats on the new digs, phishy! Drop by K-town sometime in the near future... by the way, please never forget yer Western roots and start cheering for the leafs...its an evil cult and all you'll get out of it is disappointment...

Jaimoe Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Congrats Phishy. By-the-by, Boystown is no where near your place. Anyway, I like Cabbagetown. It has real character. We should hook-up. Maybe we could even jam? I play sloppy blues/funk guitar, with a dash of Zappa madness for good measure. Also, I like your website. When you get here, you should place adds in Now & Eye magazines ( as a start ). Talk to you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFH Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Hey Phishy, congrats. We live near your area (my bf and I), so look us up when you get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyK Posted July 22, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Well... the original post proves that I haven't got much of a start on the city's geography. But nevertheless I am pumped. Thanks for all the congrats and advice. I look forward to meeting all of you and sweating my weather-wimp ass off. P.S.

PhishyK Posted July 22, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Yeah... I imagine i'll need to hit an "Emergency Cooling Station" about every 2 blocks, being from BC and all. Today is one of the hottest days in Victoria this year. 29 degrees. Phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 It's 36 in Toronto and that's not including humidity. The strange thing is, it's not sunny. We've been having violent storms for the past 2 days. My TV stations are not functioning well at all. Example? Check out MuchMoreMusic right now. It should be " out " all over Canada.

CharlieDon'tSurf Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 ...I'm thinking that the earth is tilting off of its 23 degree axis and we're about to experience some pretty funky stuff... you know, like a red, scintillating sky, the dead rising from their graves.... or maybe, its just a high pressure, warm front - meteorology makes me laugh!

PhishyK Posted July 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 hey Jaimoe, how the hell do you deal with that heat? Do you just sit there dead-like? Damn man, when it gets hot here, I just sit around and moan. Do you have A/C at your place? If so, do you use it lots?

Jaimoe Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Hey Phishy, my workplace is freezing cold. I have air-conditioning at my apartment (which I use every day ) and my car has air. I hate the heat, but the air quality is the real killer. I've been coughing for 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarfmaster C Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 this sticky heat is madness. it is really hard to take. enjoy the coast and the cool breezes while you can, kev - i miss the island already. but the people and the music out here are worth the trip. for sure. let me know when you move in to toronto - i'll be lookin for a new couch to call my home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 I live right near there and it is very close to boys town. Only a few blocks/5-10 minute walk away. Close is a relative term! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyK Posted July 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 How do you deal with the heat Jas? Crank up the A/C and smoke the Fa/T? :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 I just live over on Esplanade and Sherbourne. There seem to be many of us east of yonge and south of Bloor-ers around here. Perhaps a gathering at a local beverage stand would be in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Fortunatley, my house stays reasonably cool because it is well shaded. However, at work I have too deal with it. Most people deal with it by complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyK Posted July 24, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Cyber: perhaps I should bring a case or two of BC beer out to you all. It's the best in the world. Along with the ganja... Shit man, I gotta drop this BC pride thing or I'm gonna get my arse kicked. Jason: funny! complaining is the way I deal with the heat too!
