hey man!
welcome to the toronto crew...there's a bunch of us from here...
myself (exador)
Piperboy
Carty
Kogio
and several others...i don't live downtown any more, as my wife and i bought a house in the burbs of mississauga (just east of you on the subway)
but i still get downtown a few times a month...
and carty and piper are both downtown...actually a bunch of us have a sort of informal NT get together about once every few months...and we're do for another next month most likely...
hell...maybe even the end of this month (so's not to keep ya waitin)anyhow, stick around on NT and get to know the characters here, and when we have our next get together for some pints and design talk, we'll definitely make sure you're invited...
welcome aboard....
as for design firms...
my suggestion would be to check out

what's up with all the talented folks in Toronto?
more and more each day.
must be a good place i reckon.
- piperboytoy0
probably because Toronto only has 3 warm months a year, 4 if lucky. So most designers are forced to stay indoors and work.

Man, I love toronto. I just got a new apartment today, and am so freekin excited/relieved/happy about it. I will soon be a loving resident of the annex (living above california roll sushi place at bloor and spadina).
Enjoy living here...it is totally gnarly (insert guitar sounds here).
lemme know when the consumption of alcohol with other t-dot nters is going down.

vellan, where did you find your place?? I've been looking for more that 4 weeks with nothing. I have to move on Saturday too. :(
- nick0
my roomate and i are looking for a new place for May 1... :( i love my house now....... :``(((
- vellan0
i have been looking that long too dude, just got real lucky with this one. I found it on www.torontostarclassifieds.com, and left literally 2 messages a day on this womans ansering machine...i guess it is all about tenacity.
what are you looking for? maybe i can help somehow...lemme know and i will try.
remember keep the faith.
ah jon bon jovi.
always brings the great lines.
- piperboytoy0
It's so stressful looking for a place. I'm so busy with work and freelance stuff, I don;t even sleep anymore. help.
*falls asleep..jfa''z*
- vellan0
read my last post piper..i am offering help :)
Tell me what you are looking for man, and i will see what i can do to help.Also, I can even help with freelance work :) HINT HINT HINT.
hehehe.
- piperboytoy0
Thanks Vellan, I just called my friend and he's letting me stay with him until I find a place.
My work is looking for a junior devloper to do html and stuff. I know it's not design, but we're probably going to look for junior designers too, so if you want to you can send your resume to my boss. It'll be good because you can design, so they'll probably give you design work. But some projects aren't very exciting. tho.

cheers nick, no worries, will drop by at lounge ag in a near future..
keep rocking.hey vellan, glad u've found a nice place..i myself intend to find a new crypt somewhere around next yr..wanna be closer to downtown..i'm actually in uptown..
mmm.. i could do with some freelance too.. ;)and yes, i truly believe that the weather has a significant effect on the work of designers/artists..like some mate who studied psychology once told me> it's in a state of depression (like during winter season) that one can become the most creative.. well, something to reflect on i guess..
