A little Duke diversion

Jen and beverage, Megan and dinner, Denny just being Denny.


Just can't get enough of that Denny. Silent K is knitting in the background.


Annie made it! Yay! I finally got to see her knit and Jenna -- you knit the same way.


This is Denny trying -- no kidding -- to cram herself in a suitcase so she could come with me to Tuscany. She's tiny, but she didn't fit. Oh well. I will just have to buy her yarn.

We had fun, but we didn't feel the Duke love for a 2nd month in a row. We're thinking they really don't want us there hogging tables and buying food and beer any more. Weird, eh? Beerman Dave clearly would disagree, but he was just visiting us last night. Jen has photographic evidence, if she ever blogs it. Dave, we love you.

So we're on the prowl for a new centrally located place with food, beverage and room for about 20-30 of us. And enough light to knit by. Suggestions welcome. [Central means on the subway line, nearish Yonge St. since we all come from different parts of town.]

Also, as I slog through the last bit of Knitty production, big props to the following:
- Yehuda matzohs [the Singer family favorite]
- Daiter's chopped liver (chicken, of course)
- Patty Griffin, Patty Larkin, Rickie Lee Jones and Gillian Welch

And now, my friends, I'm going out for a walk. It's beauty out there.

Comments:
Maybe somewhere on U of T campus? Hart House?
 
Amen on the Patties! Good luck with the crunch, yo.
 
hey, does denny have a blog? where's her linkage?
 
i'm coming i'm coming i just got back into taown and am trapped spring cleaning...i have a beautiful picture of the Tuscany - can i post it?
 
Cool pics! That's too bad about your meeting place-hope you can find somewhere else soon!
 
Kick out all the office-building types and take over the Bishop and Belcher @ Bloor & Church? Just don't order any of their attempts at international cuisine and stick with the burgers.

(I do have a bias, yes.)
 
i have no suggestions... i just hope any new place is still within 30 minutes walk from the greyhound station! :| I almost missed my bus this time..oops... (not that going BACK to Duke's to hang out with y'all a bit more would've been a bad thing... but taking the 1130pm back to Guelph when I need to be at work at 645am the next morning... not so appealing ;) )

of course, it probably would've helped if my watch had been telling the right time...la la la...
 
OMG! Knitty is up! Yes! My sunday night is saved!

(thanks for breaking the monotony of three solitary hours at a desk)
 
Yes, congrats on the new Knitty--it looks superb!
 
The Spotted Dick (between Yonge & Church) on Bloor might be a good *spot*. lotsa light and friendly staff. food is regular pub grub and talk about being on the subway line!
thanks for the new knitty! woo hoo!
 
Yeah! Well, Amy, I just couldn't wait until the END of my stupid day (the anticipation was both saving and destroying me).. so, on a break from a meeting, I checked Knitty. I just couldn't hold on any longer... love it, love it, love it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Your new admirer,
Tanya.
