through NYC and be in very close proximity to Toronto.

Anyone in any of those places want to try to meet up?

I'm in the city of Buffalo between Saturday, August 20 and Wednesday August 24. I could conceivably drive up to Toronto that Saturday night, and drive back to Buffalo on Sunday.

I'll be staying in Manhattan from Wednesday, August 24th through Sunday, August 28th. I've never met any Gotham Whitechaplains, and would very much like to!

Anyone free any time in there?]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10126&Focus=305094#Comment_305094 2011-08-07T06:28:24-07:00 2013-06-20T04:05:56-07:00 allana http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=4019

20th is the target for Toronto, then. I'll get a hotel room to crash in, that's no problem. We'll figure out where to meet as the day gets closer. Looking forward to it!

No, I'm fine, why do you ask? (And YES, I rode my insane death-trap of a bike out to the suburbs. But not before I smoked that joint nobody wanted. I'm insane, I'm NOT crazy.)

Seriously, Bill, great to see you. And you're always welcome in Toronto, Retarded Giant Of The North. (Alls you other Whitechapel people oughtta get yourself up here and see with your own eyes, or perhaps, eyes rented from one of our many eye-rental shops, the wonders of my home town. IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU.) Toronto's kinda like the X-Men : we welcome you and HOPE YOU SURVIVE THE EXPERIENCE. Also, we're the best there is at what we do, so it was nice to have you join us.

Well, even though I missed what sounds like yet another epic night, I'm really glad I got to see you guys during the day. And yeah, the Town Crier is a great pub and the Le Trappe is just wonderful ...

But the company was far better than the beer. I always enjoy talking with you folks.

And now I have two photos.

I never realized my boils were so prominent. But, other than that, DAMN, I LOOK GOOD. Thanks go, obviously, to Robin and Florence. (Remember? "Best there is at what we do?" Yeah. It's like ...

The mantis was before my time, but good going to everyone involved. (In fact, that's pretty amazing.)

You NY folks better show Bill a good time or else he'll always compare you unfavorably to us. And we kicked your ass in 1812 and have no desire to do so again, so if you invade us, you'll have to answer to WHITECHAPEL. And I should say you can scarcely afford ANOTHER war.

EDIT TO ADD : The story I'm reading in the first pic? THE GLORY BOAT, by a l'il fella name of JACK KIRBY. Highly recommended.

We could do McSorley's, with its two beer selection of light OR dark.
Tom and Jerry's on Elizabeth St is kind of a standard internet meetup bar, according to some internet friends.

Crocodile Lounge if you want beer & pizza and to sit in the backyard.
