| Molson Amphitheatre |
[04 Jul 2009|11:22am] |
I'm seeing Blink 182 in August at the Molson Amphitheatre and I got lawn tickets... There were seats in the 400s available but since they're so close to the lawn, I don't think there would be a point to pay 55 dollars more for those seats.
So I'm wondering if anyone has been on the lawn and what's it's like and what you think of it. Can you still see the performers and hear the music well? Any tips? :)
Thanks.

| moving sucks |
[04 Jul 2009|10:46am] |
I'm moving in August - it is perhaps a ten minute drive from where I am now. I don't have much to move, but I am thinking of renting a van. Is U Haul any good? Which other ones do you recommend?
I also heard good things about the El Cheapo movers. I don't really know whether it's worth it to hire movers because I don't have much at all (just a bed as a major piece of furniture and then other stuff like chairs). But if it's inexpensive and hassle free, I'll look into it.

howdy all,
I could really use your help this time around. i *very* accidentally broke a birthday present given to my roommate tonight, after tripping on the stairs at downsview and smashing it to pieces. (i may have been the sober person at her birthday tonight, but still not the best choice to carry a glass present home).
I really want to replace it for her. have any of you seen anywhere in toronto where these are sold? it's a jack daniels cheese plate, looks a lot like this:
i'd like to replace it ASAP, this weekend would be ideal!
tia!

Hello all, 2 questions -
1. I'm visiting Toronto 20-27 really soon, I want to stay at a hostel downtown area (or next to subway is fine too), clean, good service and doesn't have drunk drunk people (like Hi Toronto, Canadiana etc), any suggestions? Or if anyone here has a spare bedroom to rent for a week, I'd be interested too.
2. I'm going to my friend's wedding in Southampton, Ontario. I checked greyhound and the closest it gets is Port Elgin but the schedule is always unavailable. I'll be going on my own and I'm not sure how to get there since I can't drive. The wedding is on 25 July, saturday. Anybody from there who can advice me how to get there by bus/train etc? (leaving from Toronto)
Many thanks,

| Human Biology exhibit? |

Hello Toronto!
So, I've been looking and searching and googling and scrunching up my face for the better part of...ten minutes, trying to find exhibits on Human Biology in our sweet home city. Alas, I have only come upon reminders of how much fun I had when the Science Centre housed the Bodies exhibit back in '07.
So, am I out of the loop with cool human anatomy stuff in the T.Dot or is there just nothing happening?
Thanks for any leads!

| Bad air in TO? |

Are anybody else's asthma/allergies acting up? My asthma's been unusually bad the past few days, and a friend was saying his allergies were kicking his ass. The Air Quality website thingy says it's fine, though, so I'm perplexed.

I'm an undergrad looking for research opportunities (it does not have to pay). I missed the deadline for the ones at my university offering a chance to become a research assistant, and I also missed the deadline for the one at Sick Kids hospital. Any other places I can try out?
Thanks!

| Looking for info on "Murale" store - Shoppers Drug Mart |
[03 Jul 2009|07:46am] |
I'm looking to find out more about the new "Murale" beauty concept store opened under the Shoppers' Drug Mart banner somewhere Rosedale-ish in Toronto.
What brands are there? Has anyone been? (Is the store even open? I can't find any info on the SDM site or by random googling.)

| Got Wood? |
[03 Jul 2009|12:54am] |
I need to make a fairly simple wood box, but I lack a saw and need the wood cut to precise measurements.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I read somewhere that Home Depot doesn't guarantee they'll cut the wood to the exact dimensions you want.
My measurements for two of the four panels are along the lines of 19 1/8" x 20 3/4" x 5/8" (excuse the non-metric-ness)
Is there any place that would be able to make cuts to that level of detail?
Bonus points go to the nerd who can figure out what I'm building just by those measurements!

Hello fine Canadians!
I write again from Melbourne, Australia, trying to work out the best way to enjoy your beautiful city.
I've heard many very good things about Porter Airlines, and I'm strongly concidering flying in from New York with them. However, I figure I may as well get some public opinions on the matter.
So, Porter Airlines. Used them? Know someone who has? Good things? Bad things? Worth the extra cash for not having to go into Pearson?
Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone!
I'm looking for a dentist downtown now that I've finally gotten back onto a health insurance plan. I've heard of people going to Altima Dental, but I don't know if that's because they're actually good or just because they're easy to find.
Here's my basic criteria (aside from, obviously, being a good practitioner):
- near Yonge/Queen
- young-ish (I don't want them to retire anytime soon)
- queer-friendly
- preferably female, but not necessarily if they're a good fit otherwise
- taking new patients (preferably without a 6-month waiting list or a lengthy intake process)
- has reasonable hours for someone who works a day job during most of the year
- piercing-friendly (I've got a tongue stud, and don't particularly want someone who's going to continuously lecture me about it)
-----
Along the same lines, I'm also looking for an optometrist. Pretty much the same criteria as above. I'm not really into the shopping-mall-eye-doctor concept
Thank you! :-D

O All Knowing Toronto Community, who never steers anyone wrong...
Where in Toronto can I find upholstery foam at a good price?
A friend of mine needs it for some art projects.
TTC accessible is best, as she doesn't have a car.
Thanks in advance, Toronto!

| Animal rescues/shelters in GTA |

So... I'm having a very difficult dilemma.
I have a 9 month old black labrador retriever and he very recently dislocated his ankle. We took him to the emergency and now his leg is in a splint but he needs a very expensive surgery to be able to walk properly again.
Our economy being the way it is, my family isn't sure if we have the money to support his operation. My dad is considering putting him down, but I know there has to be a better option.
That's where you come in!
Does anyone know of any no-kill shelters or rescues that take in injured animals in the GTA? Does anyone have experience or recommendations in a similar situation?
I don't want to have to get rid of my buddy! :( Any suggestions are appreciated.

| Hair (of the non-crisis variety) |
[02 Jul 2009|05:37pm] |
My hair is not quite pixie-short but shorter than bob, and I'm badly in need of fringe trimming. As you, the reader, might have guessed by this point, I'd rather not pay the full cost of a 'cut' when I just want a bit chopped off of the fringe. I'd try and do it myself, but it's layered and I'm pretty sure that if I dared to be a little more adventurous, it'd just end up looking like a blunt matter out of place.
The cut before my last was not so long ago at Vidal Sassoon, where they generously offered complimentary fringe trimming, but I wasn't terribly impressive with what they did with the back end and ultimately went and had another cut done elsewhere shortly thereafter. So I figure it wouldn't be in terrible good taste to go back to VS now and ask if that offer still stands. :p As far as I know, no other stylist I've been to offers separate rate for a 'fringe trim'. Has anyone else been in this predicament? Any solutions, suggestions please? Merci beaucoup!

Its not easy being a bastard. But if these nice guys don't want to finish last with the ladies anymore they will need to become just that. Bastards. Jerks. Players! And they will learn all they can in the only place they truly feel like themselves. The Internet.

 A number of years ago, I heard of a friend of a friend who was taking fencing lessons... I can't remember where though (I'm pretty sure it was in TO). Any ideas? |
