Holiday Meetup in O-town. November 27, 2007 7:21 PM   Subscribe

Can we have another meetup in Ottawa with hopefully more than two people?

What're the holidays without a bit of MeFi cheer, eh? I know SassHat is interested and I definitely am most eager to forget all about final exams and relax in a pool of snark. We've managed it before, albeit in duos rather than crowds. So c'mon, oh denizens of diplomat-town, gather up. :)

I propose weekend of 21st-23rd, either the Friday night or the Saturday night. Venue's up in the air; there's always the almost traditional Vineyards but new places would definitely be cool, too.

Discuss!

Just transplanted back to cap city. Could make it, but not for those dates. Flying out of here on the 17th.

The weekend of the 21st would be amazing, as my lack two exams are on the 20th.

Why not just show up at a bar and buy everyone there a membership: Instant Meetup!

I suspect that those dates probably won't work for a lot of people. I know I'm out of town as of the 21st.

We need to try to have a meetup that's *not* around a holiday/day off/etc.

Uhh, last two exams, I meant.

Fair enough. I'll be passing on this one.

I agree. I've got family coming in that weekend for an early Christmas. I doubt that any day in there would be possible for me.

As of the evening of the 17th, Winnipeg. So if you want to move the party, from a probable -15 to a -30 or lower, you're entirely welcome. :)

Well, what about the 15th of December??

I get back in town around 10 PM on the 15th, and will be under obligations from the parents to go straight home. Sunday night would work for me, though I'm not sure how much others like that...

I have responsibilities on the 16th; although I'd be free by 6:30 or so. What do others think?

16th at 7 PM at Vineyards would work well?

I'm not in town until the weekend of the 22nd. The weekend of the 15th I'll be living it up at the TO meetup. But if it doesn't work out that I can come, there's always next time...

21 is no good for me. I have to celebrate solstice with the fam... Other days may be workable!

I would be fine with either the 16th or 21st, but 21st is preferable. Well, if you want me to be conscious, anyways.

22nd anyone?
posted by Phire at 2:48 PM on December 2, 2007


22nd fine. But I don't think it counts as a 'meetup' if it's just you and me. :P

I promise not to bail this time! You can drag me out by my pigtails ears.

I *think* I can make the 22nd...
posted by LN at 9:13 AM on December 3, 2007


ooh, excellent, 2.5 people. we're already doing better. SassHat?
posted by Phire at 9:59 AM on December 3, 2007


OK, checked with the SO, we have people over on the 22nd. Sorry!
