Come drink, eat, and hang out with fellow Toronto Redditors looking to make friends on Saturday, February 15, at the Toronto Reddit February meetup! This is a no RSVP event (though we encourage you to share if you're coming so we can give the venue a rough head count).

We'll be on the second floor of The Artful Dodger starting at 8:00 p.m. The Artful Dodger is located a short walk from Bloor-Yonge station at 10 Isabella St. You can find the group on the second floor, at the tables across from the bar.

If you've never been to a Reddit meetup, everyone is very welcoming and conversations always extend beyond the Reddit platform itself, with no questions about your username. If you are returning, you'll likely recognize some faces, but there are always new folx to meet.

FAQ:

• How do I find the group?: Walk up the stairs to the second floor and find the tables across from the bar.
• Am I welcome?: Everyone is welcome, from visitors to newcomers to people looking to make new friends.
• Are there people my age there?: Based on my experiences over the years, the average age of attendees is 20-40, but I've never done a survey so I can't be sure.
• Will women be there?: Yes, I'm a woman, so you won't be the only woman there.
• Will I make new friends/connections?: Everyone who attends is looking for a different experience, but the commonality is getting out, meeting new people and having a good time. I have been attending since 2018 & hosting since 2022. I've made friends I've traveled with and attended some weddings and I still keep in touch with a few out-of-towners. You can make these connections from attending a single (1) meetup (I've seen it happen a lot), so if you're thinking it will be a waste of time to come just once, know that anything is possible.
• Does it cost money to attend?: Though there is no cost to attend the event itself, we ask that you purchase a drink and/or food to support the venue, as they have to turn away other paying customers to fill our reservation. If you do not wish to eat or drink anything on the menu, you can tip $5-10 at the bar instead.
• What are the food/drink options like?: There are vegetarian, vegan and non-alcoholic options available, and they are allergy-friendly. Menu link [PDF]
• Is the venue accessible? Unfortunately, the venue is like most Toronto bars and is not accessible. There are also no staff on site who are able to assist. Please let me know if you would like to attend but require physical assistance, we have a number of able bodied regulars who would be happy to help you to and from the entrance and/or washroom.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment publicly or message me privately. I keep an eye on my account leading up to and even during the event. Friendly warning I don't see everything right away while I'm at the event, so please keep that in mind.

If you read all of that, kudos! If not, see TL;DR below.

your hosts, u/imop44 and u/nervousTO.

TL;DR: This unofficial Reddit meetup is Saturday, February 15, at 10 Isabella Street (near Yonge & Bloor). Starts at 8:00 p.m., ends when the last people leave or the bar closes. Everyone is welcome. Please buy food & drinks if you can afford it to support the venue. I'll be keeping an eye on post comments and my messages between now and Saturday the 15th, so please connect with me if you have any questions.

What is Dungeons and Dragons? Dungeons and Dragons is a cooperative, social and storytelling game where 4-6 players take on the persona of heroes in a fantasy world seeking adventure, righting wrongs and triumph over evil. Players describe their actions, roll dice to determine the outcome, and the Game Master describes the results of those actions on the game world.

How much does it cost? This event isn't ticketed and doesn't have a minimum buy, but you are encouraged to support the brewery by purchasing one of their great drinks or snacks.

This event is brought to you by Being and Becoming, a Toronto based non-profit. We aim to create community around exploring everyday concepts and experiences so that we may live more intentional, thoughtful, and meaningful lives. We use philosophy as a tool with which we can come to a richer understanding of the world around us.

By offering activities, spaces, and other opportunities for conversation and co-exploration, we hope to enable the meeting and fusion of individuals and their ideas. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background: indeed, we believe the journey is best undertaken alongside explorers from a variety of disciplines, cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.

About Curiosity Cafés

For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to join us at our Curiosity Cafés and are wondering what they’re all about: every two weeks, we invite members of our community to come out to the Madison Avenue Pub to engage in a collaborative exploration of our chosen topic. Through these events, we aim to build our community of people who like to think deeply about life’s big questions, and provide each other with some philosophical tools to dig deeper into whatever it is we are most curious about.

We will be hosting our next Curiosity Café on Tuesday February 4 from 6:00-8:30pm at the Madison Avenue Pub (14 Madison Ave, Toronto, ON M5R 2S1).

You must RSVP here or here to attend.

Space is limited!

The topic this time is: "Vulnerability"

It is often assumed that to be vulnerable is to be susceptible to physical or emotional harm. Consequently, portrayals and descriptions of vulnerability both in our day-to-day lives as well as in the media we consume are reductively negative, equating it with weakness, dependency, powerlessness, and passivity, among other things.

At our next Curiosity Café, led by returning guest co-moderator Eirini and Sofia, we will discuss these common presumptions about vulnerability. The first half of our discussion will be devoted to exploring manifestations of vulnerability in our daily lives: we will explore the language we use to talk about vulnerability (‘TMI’, ‘trauma dumping’, ‘building walls’) and the ways in which leaning into vulnerability can be difficult, unsettling, empowering, or transformative.

In the second half, we’ll examine the social norms about vulnerability and what effects, if any, these norms have. In what contexts are we expected to be vulnerable? What are the consequences of having social norms or expectations around vulnerability? Has social media (e.g., Instagram, Reddit, X) enabled vulnerability to be shared and experienced in meaningfully different ways than before?

TONIGHT!
