Sat March 10 at 4:00 PM, Vineyards on the Byward Market
Meetup time/place/date set! I hope everyone can make it. We live in the middle of nowhere and seeing some friendly mefite faces would be lovely.

Yes, of course! But it might be a little far for people from Northern Ontario. /silly. posted by Monday, stony Monday at 4:41 PM on February 10
But seriously, I am ready, willing and likely able, even if it involves crossing bodies of water (so long as we're talking about the Ottawa, Rideau or Gatineau Rivers, the Ruisseau de la Brasserie or the Rideau Canal) posted by Monday, stony Monday at 7:53 PM on February 10
I'm likely down. posted by frenetic at 8:37 PM on February 10
Sure, that'd be fun. posted by merocet at 3:27 PM on February 12
Depends on when, but I'm up for it so far! posted by aclevername at 11:51 AM on February 13
Like aclevername, it depends on the day, but count me in! posted by LN at 7:50 AM on February 15 [1 favorite]
Best for us would be a weekend day or evening...maybe in March? posted by supercoollady at 11:08 AM on February 15
Depends on the day, but sure. posted by Decimask at 5:38 AM on February 18
I'd love it if as many people as possible could come...any Sat or Sun in March is free for us but I'll put this out: Sat or Sun the 10th or 11th? I don't live in Ottawa, sadly, so I'm not great for spots.
So:
1. Does that day work for people? A sort of late-midday/early evening drinks thing is the usual meetup MO, right?
2. Where?
Lemme know if this works for most/all. posted by supercoollady at 1:15 PM on February 18
The 11th is out for me. I have other commitments. posted by aclevername at 12:16 PM on February 20
Alrighty, the 10th it is. And now the first person who posts gets to pick their favorite centrally-located and totally charming venue. And....go! posted by supercoollady at 10:56 AM on February 21
Well, the Vineyards on the Byward Market is the traditional meeting-place. Their wine list is really good, but we will have to make reservations if we anticipate a bunch of people. There's also Pub Italia on Somerset Street, but they don't take reservations. posted by LN at 12:43 PM on February 21
I may be able to come, pending being here that weekend. I'm right off a main bus line, so can easily get to nearly wherever you choose. posted by frimble at 8:15 PM on February 21
Why is it that meetups in locations I'm in never happen when I'm actually in said locale? I'd love to make it as I don't know many Ottawa folks but am working here in Turks and Caicos for a few months and won't return until April. :( posted by carabiner at 9:21 AM on February 28
I'd be interested in meeting some mefites. I've only recently registered with the site but I've been lurking for something like 3-4 years now at least. If it's not entirely inappropriate I may be able to convince myself to swing by. First time I've seen/heard of an Ottawa meet up. posted by some loser at 8:01 AM on March 5
Would of course be thrilled to have you. posted by supercoollady at 8:50 AM on March 6
some loser, drop by, it'll be fun! posted by LN at 7:47 PM on March 6
I think my husband (not registered, but he reads the site every day) will drop by! Sounds like fun. posted by deadtrouble at 11:08 AM on March 7
I'll be there. It's my birthday. Should be fun. posted by Decimask at 7:51 PM on March 7 [1 favorite]
Also, Carabiner: Start another meetup thread when you get back. The budget will have landed by then =P posted by Decimask at 7:53 PM on March 7 [1 favorite]
Hi all, I'll make a reservation under the name Metta Filter (or Metta, if they just want a first name) for 4:00 at this place...hopefully it won't be too crowded but better safe than sorry, I say. If there are any problems/issues I'll post here.
Looking forward to seeing you there! posted by supercoollady at 1:33 PM on March 8
