Ottawa Meet

I think there are enough members now to have a successful meeting event. So before I leave town, it would be nice to finally meet some people (and punch others).

Well I'm off to the Ottawa/Calgary game tonight, and I need to be back in North Bay for Monday, but sometime this week/weekend would be good for me.

Can't say I speak for everyone else though.

You know, the world doesn't revolve are you d_jeffrey. If anything, we should meet at a time best for me. I say just before midnight or when the moon rises. (I tend to turn into a werewolf at that time.)

I'm not committing to anything until I know I'm not going to be punched in the face.

Is this an open invitation? I think it would be interesting to put faces to the people here. Would he have to use our pseudo-names at the meeting? Does this involve beer? Would the meeting place be centrally located and cheap? Is the Lafayette still running and cheap? It was $0.70 per glass of draft the last time I was there.

So many questions.

I expect I could be available and downtown all Wed. evening and Thurs. evening after about 21:00.

Of course, If I am on the 'Punch' list, I'm busy during the meeting time.

Come on, you know I would only spit in your face, never punch you.

Well I wanted to try the organic pizza place, I think it could be a good gathering place. Me it's easy, it's my DJ name

Phew!!



But seriously, I don't think I could find the time for a meet. Maybe a couple of years ago when I was a swingin' bachelor, but my wife works nights and someone's gotta look after the kid.

Hmm so this is the new Place Organic Pizza on Kent and Florence, I assume. http://ottawafoodies.com/vendor/1568
Not too far from the gravy pizza place. http://www.ceotblog.com/2007/08/poutine-or-pizz.html

According to that facebook link within the link WW posted, the Organic pizza place is closed. Maybe that explains why we haven't seen much of mOnkyman lately.

It's a shame about m0nkeyman. There's a few others who've disappeared as well.

A good time for me is either a Friday or Saturday evening after the kids are in bed, as long as it's downtown. Those are my going-out time slots and they get booked in advance - but this week Saturday would be ok for me.

That is just wrong. That has got to be one of the grossest looking food items in Ottawa (well besides anything that they serve at the Golden Palace on Carling Avenue)

Bah this is really busy week for me as I have plans Weds, Friday and Saturday evening. If it's Thursday night however I'm in. I prefer Centertown simply because I live there!

Also Georgie's is the best pizza in Ottawa (I skip on the gravy for health reasons)

The Green Door on Main st. serves some pristine vegetarian food (to accomodate if ever there are some in the group).

And what would we discuss at such meetings?

Actually, Norman, it would be perfect if you and your mother could come in a 1958 Edsel or 1956 Studebaker. That's another thing I love about that movie.
