I hope everyone can make it. We live in the middle of nowhere and seeing some friendly mefite faces would be lovely. post:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:36:07 -0800 supercoollady ottawa meetup northernnewyork http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19169 Yes, of course! But it might be a little far for people from Northern Ontario. /silly. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19169 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:41:06 -0800 Monday, stony Monday http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19175 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) comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19175 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:53:04 -0800 Monday, stony Monday http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19177 I'm likely down. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19177 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:37:26 -0800 frenetic http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19226 Sure, that'd be fun. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19226 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:27:55 -0800 merocet http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19241 Depends on when, but I'm up for it so far! comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19241 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:51:30 -0800 aclevername http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19307 Like aclevername, it depends on the day, but count me in! comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19307 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:50:15 -0800 LN http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19318 Best for us would be a weekend day or evening...maybe in March? comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19318 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:08:26 -0800 supercoollady http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19374 Depends on the day, but sure. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19374 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 05:38:37 -0800 Decimask http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19382 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. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19382 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 13:15:07 -0800 supercoollady http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19426 The 11th is out for me. I have other commitments. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19426 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:16:24 -0800 aclevername http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19467 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! comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19467 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:56:55 -0800 supercoollady http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19478 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. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19478 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:43:36 -0800 LN http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19489 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. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19489 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 20:15:38 -0800 frimble http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19558 I should be able to make it. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19558 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 07:43:00 -0800 BozoBurgerBonanza http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19678 What. 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. :( comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19678 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 09:21:43 -0800 carabiner http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19762 Sorry Carabiner! comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19762 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 11:57:40 -0800 supercoollady http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19874 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. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19874 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:01:39 -0800 some loser http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19908 Would of course be thrilled to have you. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19908 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 08:50:53 -0800 supercoollady http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19929 some loser, drop by, it'll be fun! comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19929 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:47:09 -0800 LN http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19940 I think my husband (not registered, but he reads the site every day) will drop by! Sounds like fun. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19940 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 11:08:03 -0800 deadtrouble http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#19969 I'll be there. It's my birthday.

The budget will have landed by then =P comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-19970 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:53:05 -0800 Decimask http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#20007 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! comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-20007 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 13:33:05 -0800 supercoollady http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#20094 I will be there about 5:00 comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-20094 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:47:07 -0800 BozoBurgerBonanza http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#20115 ...or possibly not. comment:irl.metafilter.com,2012:site.969-20115 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 11:49:18 -0800 BozoBurgerBonanza http://irl.metafilter.com/969/Ottawa-ON-Canada#20126 Woooo! 12 people!
