Early summer powwow: Sharing stories about translators' time management in the summer
May 13, 2011
It's more than 3 months since our last powwow, and I'd like to suggest a new venue since Le Marche seems to be too confusing and loud, and "real restaurants" oblige everyone to order a meal, and some may just want a drink and a chat. How about meeting at L'Espresso Bar Mercurio (south east corner of Bloor and st. George). It is very close to the St. George subway station; they allow you to reserve tables beforehand, and you can go for either just a drink, or appetizers, sandwiches. ... See more

Let's talk informally about how we manage our workload through "the travel season" and share stories about vacations ruined by translation, searching desperately for internet connections while in a foreign city, or even what to do when you take 2 or 3 weeks completely off from work.

July is usually difficult

Because that's when a lot of translators go on language-maintenance trips, either "back home" or to countries where their source language is spoken (myself being no exception).

Starting this week the L'espresso Bar mercurio closes at 7:30 instead of 11 p.m.
May 31, 2011
Though that's a bummer, there are plenty of alternatives in the area. The more expensive one is diagonally across from the original venue at Bar Mercurio- but if we're more than 8 participants it's not conducive to talk between tables.
The other option is the Madison Ave Pub & RestaurantAdresse: 14 Madison Avenue (about halfway between Spadina and St. George stations)

It is quite large, not noisy and has several rooms and patios.... See more
