re "Let’s keep this discussion going... I teach in the Annex (Randolph
College) three times a week — we should grab lunch/tea/pints some day.  "

For sure... I live at Bloor/Albany, just a few minutes walk from Randolph;
I walk past Randolph
all the time but didn't know it was a college. Right next door is the
Centre for Social Innovation,
which I've played at a few times for Amnesty International's annual
get-together there.

I propose  a get-together at the Annex Billiards Club, just above the Bulk
Barn on Bloor... cheap pints, good
billiards tables, nice atmosphere. I live 2 minutes away... I can be there
on a moment's notice, starting next week.

This is exciting!

Well, I'm 6 hours away from the Annex (from about 60km north of Montreal).

I'm interested in pints also. :-)

1. Let’s keep this discussion going, and see if it actually gains traction!

2. I teach in the Annex (Randolph College) three times a week — we should grab 
lunch/tea/pints some day.  :)

re. possible toronto conference location

I live in Toronto, in the Annex.  I'd love to help organize something here
if there's interest. I'm right
close to the  University of Toronto campus.

As I said back then, I’d be more than happy to organize a conference here in 
Toronto… but we decided that too many people would have to travel this 
direction over the Atlantic. It really does seem to be most efficient to hold 
this kind of gathering in Europe somewhere.

Cheers,

Would be great. Count me as "will try to come if it gets organized".

I'm just throwing out that my subletter has bought a house elsewhere and
moves out end of April.  The owner has let me know that I can stay here
till the end of June (he gets some rent and someone who feeds the horses
on most days).

I'm still looking for a new place, and it's not quite clear how long
I'll need.

That would not be a university setting.  It would also not be the first
time, though there is little personal overlap.



There would be enough room to throw down sleeping bags.

Near Dortmund, within about 1.5hr of train distance from Düsseldorf and
Cologne.

It reeks like a foolish idea, for sure.  If your question hadn't had
this impeccable timing, I'd not have mentioned it.

Talk about waxing nostalgic!
