Toronto HN Meetup - Let's pick a date

32 points3pt1415920 comments

After the recent HN article on which countries we all come from, it came out that there is a definite need for Toronto hackers to meet up to masterfully plan the destruction and downfall of "social media" gurus.

Just kidding, lets get together and talk about hacking, startups, and other geekery. My favourite place for this type of thing is Sin and Redemption, a fantastic pub with amazing beer selection and moderate prices, but I'm sure there are plenty of places around.

I'm in, but why aren't we using Doodle or something better suited for this type of thing? ;)

+1 for Sin and Redemption though, I'm there way too often as is, it is a great pub with a fantastic atmosphere

edit: I don't want to hijack this, but I've created a doodle link at: http://www.doodle.com/499x2y852b43inay

if anyone is interested in filling it out (same dates as OP)... it may be easier than straight up google spreadsheeting it. I didn't create one for bar location, but it looks like most people either wanted the Rhino or Sin & Redemption, so we can probably choose later?

I'm in.

The Rhino is a popular hacker meetup place. Both Ajax pubnight (http://www.ajaxcamp.org/ajax-pub-nite/) and Rails pubnight (http://unspace.ca/innovation/pubnite) are held there. Many of the attendees of those events frequent hacker news, maybe a combined night might be a good idea? (neither event is entirely focused on Ajax or Rails, more about tech, startups and such)

Well, maybe we could do it at the Rhino on one of these nights, then?

I'm from Ottawa but I'm definitely in. Any other Ottawans want to car pool?

Ottawa-ian here too. I'd be interested on pooling up. =D

ConceptDog let's get in touch! My email address is on my profile.

Google Moderator works well for this sort of vote. We use it for the San Diego HN Meetup group frequently.

I'm from MTL but I'm in T. at least twice a month. Anyone else from La Belle Province interested in going?

Count me among you as well. My task, as I understand it from the perspective of someone who wore out his liquor license years ago, will be to distill the later and, um, less well-thought-out ramblings into an uber-idea to steal and run with.

I am totally interested.

Edit: I'm not sure how well the "vote for a day you're available" thing is working. When I checked on the spreadsheet, there were 4 names but 7 votes for April 29. That made me suspicious.

Follow TorontoHN for all updates on the night :D

Looking forward to the event!

I'm in...but when is the cut off time to finalize the date and location?

I'm in. Great opportunity to network with like-minded people

If all else fails, we can get pie-eyed!
