The Temple Bar - Counting Down 'til Summatime - UYMFA!!

[Got Philk?]

I'm alive...but sticking to everything in the house...damn humidity. No AC.

I go to my school building to get out of the heat...and ironically they don't have air conditioning either...but it's still cooler there.

I want to go to NYC and party it up...

 

[kafrun]

Still alive here too. Nothing much going on. Work is ruling my life right now. Is it the weekend yet?

This and this.

 

[kafrun]

i want to go to nyc and party it up...

THIS.

clf.

 

[Thora]

I want to go to NYC and party it up...

I'm going to Seattle to party it up this weekend!

This and this.

Mmm... thanks! We've got plans to hit up a place that serves one of the best martinis I've ever had. It's been several years since I was there last, so hopefully it will work for us to go.

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

I'm alive too. Just been working lots.

Won't mention where I'm going next week

 

[Thora]

Now that you've mentioned you're going somewhere, you can't just say that and leave it at that. Where are you off to?

 

[Got Philk?]

Ooo, I know I know! Grand Rapids, MI

 

[kafrun]

We're all crashing Phil's place! Make you sure let the wife and the furrbabies know that we're coming.

Sharon - martinis? What time should I be there??

 

[Got Philk?]

Hey, I'll give you all directions to a cottage up in northern Michigan. I'm going there tomorrow. You are all invited. Now THAT would be outstanding...

Sounds like fun

 

[Thora]

Sharon - martinis? What time should I be there??

Saturday evening, say around 7pm? We may not hit the good place until later, but you can certainly join us at 7!

*coughBSBconcertcough*

Ahhh, I see. I thought you were actually traveling some place.

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Ahhh, I see. I thought you were actually traveling some place.

I am. Driving 8 hours to Winnipeg for the show

 

[Thora]

I am. Driving 8 hours to Winnipeg for the show

Wow, that's dedication!

 

[Drea]

Wow, that's dedication!

Thunder Bay doesn't get the huge concerts - you have to go to Winnipeg or Minneapolis (7.5-8hrs... if you go the speed limit *g*) for the big ones

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Wow, that's dedication!

I know

Thunder Bay doesn't get the huge concerts - you have to go to Winnipeg or Minneapolis (7.5-8hrs... if you go the speed limit *g*) for the big ones

That is exactly why I'm moving to a big city as soon as I graduate

 

[redhotswami]

Nope, haven't been following a thing. Can't speak for others but I was busy partying it up in NYC with Mia

 

[redhotswami]

wow, really?

Yes, really. As in, you removed me from your friends again, really.

 

[Got Philk?]

Ok people...here are the directions. Now I expect to see you all.

From Montreal: Take 17 to I 75
I 75 connects to 121
121 then connects to 10. Just drive to Baldwin MI

Toronto:
I would say 402 to I 69
Then take I 69 to I 75 N
I 75 to HWY 10 to Baldwin

California:
Take 80 to Chicago and go north on 94 toward Grand Rapids...
94 turns into 196 N and leads to Grand Rapids.
Take 196 to I 96 to 131 and go north.
Take exit 142 (19 mile rd) exit left
Drive a long ways left until you see a sign that says :37 <--(just before gravel road)
Turn left and follow until it dead ends into M37
M37 takes you to Baldwin, MI

Speaking of which, there's a Tim Hortons a few blocks from Times Square and there was only one person working there!!
Only a few people in there and ,of course, they were Canadian

I took a pic - will post it on FB one of these days...

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

That makes me laugh because I worked 6:30 til 12:30 today and we had about 9 staff members, not including the manager, and we were going nuts feeling like we were short staffed.

I saw that, wtf?? I wonder if the American Tim Horton's are as good as the Canadian ones.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

You saw it when you were there?
Actually, I grabbed a coffee one of the mornings and it was just as good as here
One couple came in, saw there were 2 people ahead of them and left. Oh my, if only they knew how popular it was in Canada


Kristen

 

[Thora]

Looks like you had a fun time in NYC, Julie!


I'm wearing jeans today for the first time in about a month. I stubbornly wore shorts all this weekend, even though it was pouring rain and miserable outside. It's supposed to clear up by tomorrow and go back to summery weather again, but this isn't fun. Stupid rain!!

I sadly haven't been to NYC yet, but I've seen a picture of the Timmies that you're talking about.

Wtffffffff?? What is with all this rain this summer? Even we're getting a ton of it and that's unusual for Calgary.

Aww. Hopefully the summer weather will be back soon! I really can't complain - July was AMAZING weather-wise. We didn't have a massive heat-wave like we did last summer, but it's still been very nice. Plus, there's still a month and a bit left of summer, so there's plenty of time for there to be more fantastic days. It just feels like fall right now.

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Off to Winnipeg tomorrow
