Lú_ says:

I'm one of those obnoxious people in the We Demand Donuts protest group who can't get to San Fran for the donut giveaway, and jakerome crowned me person in charge of Toronto, 'cause he does that sort of thing. So -- with "admin" star off! -- here's the Day of the Donuts meetup info for T.O.:

April 16, 2008 (but if you're going, you knew that part already) at 6 p.m.
at the Tim Horton's at Bloor & Bedford, by the St. George subway station


New suggestions welcome for *this* year!

Strongly recommended but not contractually obligatory, but only if you belong to the We Demand Donuts movement. Though I'm sure that non-protest-group-members eating doughnuts in sympathy to the cause is appreciated too. You could join and ask ;)

(Okay, I'll shut up about doughnuts now -- we have a *regular* meetup announcement pending shortly too)

after absolutely nothing on my card since January, I now have four / 4 agenda items starting at 6.00 pm Aug the 16th. I'm going to hide from all of them and replay groundhog day. Happy donuts!

Lu is such a trouper. I've already spammed her photostream, and now I spam her group! But I do it with such a smile and with only good intentions. I just want to bring the joy of donuts to the world! Here goes:

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know that The Day of the Donut is returning to Flickr, and around the world, on April 23. Flickr is organizing "something" in San Francisco, and Flickr members are taking it upon themselves to organize additional meet-ups all over the world. It was a lot of fun last year, and will be even better this year. So join the group, invite your friends & arrange for another meet-up.

If When you organize your event, make sure to leave a note in this thread, where we're collecting a list of all the meet-ups around the world. Thanks guys!

The Day of the Donut returns April 23!

Jake is impossible. But many people here probably new that already! I have no idea if I can get out of the house that day, or how far. Kinda depends on my clients. The closer the Timmies to my house, the more likely I'll show.

So are we meeting on the 23rd this year?? Where and what time? Even though I don't drink Timmy 'Ho coffee, I might have to try to make it out.

All you non-donut, non-tim's coffee people -- this is a big chance for you. Maybe, for me, the only way to acknowledge the specialness of the day would be to make it my one non-donut day of the year.

You could show up and not eat a donut. We could all post pictures of that.

No timbits? Can't we consider them to be donuts too? Haha

Bummer .. I have an exam starting at 6 in mississauga ... this sucks. Would have been a great opportunity to meet new people. Hope you guys have fun though and that this sucky rainy weather won't be around on wed too.

That was the plan for last year. Nobody has organized anything for this year yet, but feel free to do so. All it really takes is a time, a place, and an announcement.

Is there some issue with the Tim Hortons at St. George station? They have donuts. I could totally get one after work.

I don't think there's any issue. Everyone's just waiting for someone else to decide. Preferably maybe someone who knows they can actually go.

Is there anyone else old enough to remember the donut kiosk in the passageway between Simpsons and Eaton's Queen Street stores in the period from about 1948 to 1964? Next to the Honey Dew stand?

Best donuts the world ever knew. All cake, none of the yeasty stuff they sell today... Heart attack in a box.

I can hit Timmy Ho's a 6pm near St. George tomorrow .... where is it more specifically? Honestly, I almost never go into a Tim Horton's unless I'm on a long road trip and desperate for a coffee.

Oldie - um, no ... just a wee bit before my time. Looks cool though.

It's at the corner of St. George & Bloor, street level (the door's on Bloor). We picked it last year because it's at a subway intersection.
