FanGraphs Meetup in Toronto: April 8th
Torontoians! Torontites! Torontians! Whatever you call yourselves, I have some news for you.
The guys behind the PITCH Talks series have invited me to come up for their event — already sold out, sorry about that — on Thursday, April 7th, but in addition to that Q&A, we’re going to do a meetup while I’m in town as well. Along with former FanGraphs writer Drew Fairservice and his pal Andrew Stoeten, I’m going to hang out at TallBoys Craft Beer House where you can join us to watch the Blue Jays home opener together. So if you don’t have tickets to the team’s first home game of the season, you can come hang out with us and watch it on the big screen, and drink for much cheaper than those who will be at the Rogers Centre.
Because we’ll be using Tall Boys private room space, we are selling tickets to this meetup, but that’s just for headcount reasons, really; the ticket is only $5 and you get a free Steamwhistle beer with your purchase, so it’s effectively free. The doors for the event will open at 6 pm, so we’ll have an hour or so to hang out and chat before the game starts, and then we’ll hang out and watch the game. So, come hang out with us and watch the Blue Jays first home game of the season with a bunch of other Blue Jays fans.
You can buy your ticket using the widget below, or check out on the page we’ve setup for the gathering.
Dave is the Managing Editor of FanGraphs.
Free beer to whoever identifies themselves as Damaso!
I’m Damaso!
I didn’t think there’d be any reason to regret going to the home opener, but I’ve found one.
🙂
and Tallboys is just down the street!
Ugh. Basically north of Bloor.
It’s a bit west, but it’s only two blocks away from from a subway and has *exceptional* beer and food. It’s really good. I’d be there too if I weren’t going to the Home Opener.
Dave: You’re getting an extra free beer, as I don’t drink.
..and it is Torontonian!
I actually don’t drink either, but I’m sure plenty of people will be happy to take your beer off your hands.
Are you doing any radio appearances while in town?
I wish I didn’t have an exam the next day….guess I’ll only be having a few beers 🙂
Just a couple of hours in and you’re sold out. I love Tall Boys, but would you consider a bigger space?
Maybe I should put my tickets on StubHub!
In all seriousness, I’d pay $10.
Maybe someone else will take you up on it. I’m taking a friend and told him already.
If Torontians weren’t the aliens in some bad sci-fi I’ve watched or read, they should have been. Sounds a great evening. I’ll keep checking these pages for a UK meet up lol.
