Hey, the Camarilla Changeling game used to run at the Tranzac. Are you going to either thing?

[alexmegami]

Not sure yet. Loitering Heroes sound interesting, and I loved the Leonard Show (obviously) so watching Brian in his sketch troupe would be cool.

It depends on a few factors: what time will the events get out, and how far are they from a transit line I use?

[kisekileia.livejournal.com]

The Tranzac is 2 blocks (along Bloor, which is maybe 100 feet north of the Tranzac) from the Spadina subway station, which is on both the Bloor/Danforth and Yonge/University/Spadina lines. Looking at Mapquest, 138 Danforth (which is the road that Bloor turns into at some point, I think when it crosses the Don River) should be very close to the Broadview subway station on the Bloor/Danforth line, which is 3 stops east of Yonge.

How do you get home from downtown Toronto normally?

You also have the option of crashing on my futon. I have a sleeping bag.

Subway/bus. If I could get out of there by about 11:45, I could probably make it home okay, but that's sort of a sad statement on me. (Tranzac is closer, but...)

And I don't think my grandmother would approve of me staying out just to go see shows. :/

So, in the end: I might hit up Tranzac, depending (depends how wiped I am from Gilda's and how much more Nanoing I have to do), but probably not the comedy show.

Your grandmother thinks she has authority over you and when you stay out?! You're 22!

The Spadina to Yorkdale subway ride is 20 minutes or so, and the walk from the Tranzac to the Spadina subway station would be under 10.

I may end up working on Wednesday, because there was a party I wanted to go to on Saturday, so I'm going to try to switch my Saturday shift with the other Pizza Hut CSR's Wednesday shift. I'd be done work at 9, so if you're going to the Tranzac, call me around 9:30?

I know. On the other hand... no rent. And she fucking stays up and waits for me to come home and it is REALLY REALLY CREEPY.

She does a LOT of things that I find REALLY REALLY CREEPY.

Spadina to Kipling would be my route, and then north. And it's always a worry that I might not catch the final bus out. The route usually doesn't take that long - maybe half an hour each way? - but there's also the fact that my grandmother wants me to be in by midnight. -_- Which I had... forgotten. (That's what happened LAST time I went out. GAH!)

21st is the Tuesday. :) Does that help you out at all?

[kisekileia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no rent is good. So is OSAP. OSAP is my friend. OSAP means I can pay rent.

I would go batshit crazy if I had to live with a relative who had rules about when I had to be in. I mean, house rules motivated by her waking up easily if you came in late would be sort of understandable (just really really inconvenient), but just thinking she's responsible for you is...ick. It drove me crazy that my parents didn't treat me like an adult when I was 18-20 and living at home -- presumably at 22, it would be even worse. My parents didn't even stay up and wait for me to come home, although I don't think my dad slept very well until I was in. I wasn't usually out later than they were up, though, because they usually drove me home from the GO station.

For some reason I was thinking the 21st was the Wednesday. I am definitely working on the Tuesday, and it's also until 9, so what I said before would still apply :). Also, I didn't realize you're going west -- in that case, going to Bathurst station would make more sense than Spadina. It'd be two blocks west, I think -- probably 7 minutes' walk.

[alexmegami]

That's the thing - she is practically deaf. (Well, not really. But if I were being quiet, there is NO WAY she would hear me coming in.) I honestly suspect that she's motivated by the 'super-high crime rates' in the area - even though 1) it's one of the less-crime-ridden areas of Toronto, and 2) it's a fucking five minute walk from the bus, in a well-lit part of town, surrounded by OLD PEOPLE. It's not like gangs are trawling the fuckin' streets, here.

Just... argh. Yeah.

I'll let you know. :)

[kisekileia.livejournal.com]

Ick. If she was just being a caring worrywart because of that, it wouldn't be so bad, but she should realize that it's not up to her to decide what risks you do and don't take.

My family is kind of paranoid about crime in Toronto too. They don't really like the idea of me walking alone at night, even though I do it all the time and it's kind of necessary. My dad is kind of safety-crazed though. I've been out at 5 am after hanging out at Spicy's late, though, and I've been fine. I've never been in really bad areas late, and I try to have a little common sense about where I go when -- I walk on the west side of Yonge at night, because the strip clubs are on the east ;).

I got your email. Thanks :). I'll email you my cell in case you don't have it. (It's my only number.)
