Toronto tea Festival Jan 30
Figured i’d start a post instead of talking about it – just a chance for us to possibly coordinate some meetups/tea swaps/chats for those that are attending on the Saturday.
Toronto is only a 6 hour drive for me it seems… I may look into coming to the next one if I have time to plan for it :)
In terms of swaps, how do we arrange that? Should we have small samples already pre-bagged and labelled?
depends on how we want to handle the day i think. Historically, Kittenna or others have come back to my place with their teas and we’ve doled them out – or we’ve done it across the street at the pizza place. We’ve also done things where folks arrange their swaps ahead of time and just bring bags for each person they’re swapping with, as if it was being mailed but not :)
I’ll be at the festival on Saturday. If anyone wants to meet-up for a swap, let me know. I’ll be updating my Steepser cupboard this weekend. Also, does anyone have any tips for festival newbies? This will be my first time attending.
Arrive early, bring cash, have fun! it’s a smaller festival but there’s still lots to see and do. Not all vendors will take credit so at least bring a little cash.
There are a few of us meeting – not sure i’m up to coordinating a billion people but my loose plan is get there for the opening, stay until the crowds make me need to leave :) Happy to meet up with folks in that sense for random waves, hellos etc..
I would so love to go to this! I’m going to see if I can make it out. It’s a short drive for me.
I’d love to go — like you said, it’s an easy drive for us (I try to make it to Toronto once or twice a year for other things). I was wondering if you’d be going. Unfortunately I can’t take the time this year, but I’m going to try to plan ahead for next year’s!
I wonder if there’s a way we should identify ourselves to fellow Steepsterites. (I’m seriously considering turning the Steepster logo into a sticker to put on my shirt.)
Thoughts?
