[Jan 24] Otaku Orientation Part 2

Date: Saturday January 24th
Facebook Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/329701500563464/

Stephen says:

Given the awesome turnout of our first orientation event, we've decided to expand on the stuff we did during the first. 

We'll be meeting up at about 11:00 a.m. at Spadina; we'll be leaving at 11:30 a.m. for Pacific Mall. After chilling out at P-mall for a bit, we'll head downtown and checkout some shops along Yonge like Silver Snail, Hairy T and 401 Games.

It's going to be the warmest day of the week, but we can expect some bits of (possibly wet) snow. Dress well and make sure you guys are ok for walking.

Look forward to this!

***Try to coordinate with peeps to make use of the weekend day pass (covers 2 adults and at least 3 people under 19 iirc, for $11)
