We'll be building some sweet sightings/hookups functionality into ShelfLife later this summer...keep your eyes peeled.

I've also hosted a few beer nights at my place to let people trade and hang out. Willing to do this again.

TFcon will have a message board meetup on the Friday night allowing fans to meetup with each other before the convention gets into full swing.

great news
Where will the message board meetup be taking place?
I know they had a sweet bar at the hotel last year

no one else interested in setting up some kind of monthly transformers nerd meeting at a coffee shop in toronto or something similar

Not that I'm against the idea of a meetup, but I have found that many people are very reluctant to do it in a public place because many are still "in the closet" about their toy collecting/nerdisms. So they don't really relish the idea of "outing" themselves in a large group in public.

Which is too bad cuz meetups can be fun. Most would likely be more comfortable in a setting like at TFCon, where everybody is a nerd like them and they won't face any judgements.

I flaunt my geekness everywhere. Even wore my nice button-up Megatron t-shirt to one of mt best friend's wedding. He actually requested it or I couldn't go

I wouldn't mind going to a meetup.

But in public, you'd be surrounded by like minded people, and possibly dressed the same. Kinda like a gang...but....if that is true, and certain individuals don't want to be in the public eye, who in Toronto area has the biggest backyard?.....with a good fence.

I wouldn't mind doing a meetup. I doubt anyone would do cosplay (at least I hope). ANy others interested in the Toronto area?
