Southern Ontario diyFEST

Really?

Only FIVE people, including myself, in the whole of the most populace part of Canada? (And Western New York, Northwest Pennsylvania, etc.)

The west coasters (you KNOW who you are...) would be quick to point out how darn unfriendly we are over here.
I'm unfriendly AND introverted - live alone, keep to myself, kill bad guys in my spare time...oops! Did I say that out loud?
I have a sense of humour that elicits one of 2 responses: cautious laughter or murderous rage and I'm extremely self conscious of my lisp...

Oh I think Misanthropy runs wild in the diy community.

 

[d1983]

Misanthropy or not, I still think we should have at least a small meet to start.

If you build it, they will come.

Also, if we're going to meet, we should all get in a bit of contact to talk about what we're working on, what we specialize in, and all that stuff.

I'm in, GTA for location....

 

[Wavne]

I'm in

Barrie boy here...

I have nothing for show to date, but more than interested in scamming other member's ideas...

Hi Jarrett,
I just realized o) that you are in Barrie (think your address on the envelope would have been a clue...).
I used to live not far from you, on Butternut Dr. I moved ~6 years ago to Innisfil and that's where I am now.
Howdy neighbour!

 

[smokinghot]

I grew up in Innisfil. Bottom of the 11th Line (Lockhart Rd.) to be exact.

For some reason I had it in my head that you were in the Oakville area....

Shame we didn't clue in sooner. Seems foolish to pay over ten times the amount in shipping that the gas would have been...lol.

 

[raypalmer]

Alright, Okay now we're humming along. I count EIGHT brave souls now.

I'm actually getting outta Dodge down here so I'm going to be right inside the gta too in a couple months...

We've got enough interested to fill up one and a half tables at Denny's... we can probably do better than that though. Still probably wise to wait for more entrants though right?

This is my first rodeo so I can't say what would be appropriate.

I don't see any need in rushing things though. Unless there's concern of some losing interest.

 

[ticknpop]

One more from Mississauga and another in Bradford.

I think waiting would be the prudent thing. Seems like we're still slowly but surely accumulating members.

 

[merlin2069er]

I'd be interested in the Toronto / Mississauga area.

 

[iko]

I'm in Toronto. Depending on when/where it happens, I sure would like to visit.

 

[Ling Gowa]

Another one from Barrie.

 

[Jaimo]

Count me in from Caledon

 

[rcavictim]

I'm near Shelburne. I'd like to attend if I can.

Activity in Ottawa

Hi,

Over 20 people have so far expressed interest in Ottawa area meetings. If anyone following this thread visits the capital, be sure to check the calendar first to see if anything is on. Maybe some of us will make it to the big smoke, too.

[mill23bay]

I'd be interested in the Toronto / Mississauga area and depending on the date.

 

[raypalmer]

Okay we're getting somewhere now I think.

I'm moving at the end of this month (to Port Credit), and then I suppose I'll need to find a job..... :|

But I feel I'll be up for a little organization in sixty days or so. If anyone has any experience in this regard feel free to message me so we can pool our efforts. I have no idea where to start.
