i miss the mountains as well. it's not so bad in downtown toronto, with all the tall buildings and such, but in rural ontario it's too flat for my liking.
Well, there's supposedly a pre-Christmas thing happening on the 20th (Saturday), but that's still totally unorganized, and it'll prolly just be a little private get-together before asreal goes home for the holidays.
New Year's, though... we're thinking maybe somebody's house first, and then Ming. I was there last year, and it was very quiet and relaxed - the stupid huge crowds were all at the Ship. If you're interested, lemme know. Maybe we can meet up beforehand and see if we like each other.
