Toronto LBS Meetup 3

Another strong showing on Friday night by Toronto London Business School admits.

Big thanks to the Crazy German for organizing and everyone else for getting out.

The Toronto admits are a great mix of personalities and diverse backgrounds. Someone commented (and I agree) that there are fewer finance admits in our group than would be expected. Most people around the table were from industry - nearly half of us were engineers. I wonder what the trend looks like with the rest of the Admits?

The Savoy turned out to be a reasonable choice. Truth be told though we were keeping the restaurant lively. Strange for a Friday night. My guess would be that the place attracts more of the theater crowd. Savoy is probably better as a secluded place for a more intimate dinner. Didn't matter to us though. My filet mignon was superb. Conversations flowed like the beer; There was a lot of information sharing and good natured ribbing. In reality, we're all still pretty much strangers to one another. Doesn't feel anything like it though - you'd think we were old friends if you heard any of our conversations. After a few hours at the restaurant, we had had our fill and decided to move elsewhere.

To shield ourselves from the pending disappointment of the Raptors, we decided to hide out at the Fifth. Our group didn't have enough members of the fairer sex to make it worthwhile for the club, which would have meant waiting for an hour. Luckily, the bouncer did happen to recognize our good friend Sir Robert Borden. With his street cred, we skipped the line. I had a pretty relaxed time there. Company was good, music was good, drinks (up until midnight) were good. We were all relatively tame but I can see potential for gong shows when we're out in London.

Those left of us at around 2 ended the night with a walk to Burrito Boyz. Arrival was quickly followed by the stark realization that we no longer have University metabolisms and after a night of drinking another 3000 calories weren't going to do anyone any good. We called it a night and went our separate ways. I'm looking forward to our next get together.

On a totally related note - If anyone in London Business School admissions is reading this, I'd really appreciate if we capped the number of MBA2009 students to between 318 to 324. There are pints for the Adcom if it helps push decisions in my favor in any way.
