Ottawa meet!

Clayton and I are both in ottawa for school and since beer is good and I work at a great place to drink, we'll be at the Nepean Sailing Club Tuesday evening.

Anyone else interested? It would probably be possible to change the location, but unless you got cheap beer elsewhere...

It would probably seem strange if 50 random people on the internet arrives at your place lol.

Ahh, but it's where I work! Which happens to have a bar, and where the bartender will be more then happy to get all those tips.

Shouldve told us earlier. I left Ottawa today.

Then how would you be there on tuesday? Wink

Wanna change the place to somewhere in Kingston, so I don't have to travel? Razz

Tsk tsk, socializing with cool people when you could come hang out at Algonquin and listen to me talk about OpenCOBOL at OCLUG. Smile

Have fun. I hope more meetups are planned.
Cheers

I've got class, and then I want to not be at Algonquin. 3 semesters in a row tends me make me value time not spent in classes Razz

However, feel free to ditch the presentation or come afterwards Wink

Awesome, seems there's really very few compsci.ca'ers that are in the Ottawa area now aren't there?

Well, Clayton and I met. We drank and had a good time... the rest of you who are in ottawa (except Btiffin who had an excuse) suck.

You'd all better show up for the next one... and the next one won't be beer on me.

What? Free beer?! Damn. Oh well, I had an excuse, I don't have a car, and I don't live in the same town Razz

I look forward to the next meet. I'll do my best to make a showing. Just don't organize things for the first Tuesday of any given month. That's OCLUG meeting day, and I plan on being a speaker for various topics until the crowd gets sick of me and punts me out. Oct 7 is up next, and I'm signing up to speak again ... ReST.

Or do plan for the Tuesday ... I'm old and I gave up drinking Jan 1, 1992 (4:30 am ish), fast approaching 150,000 booze free hours. (I'll add - not to look like too much of a fuddy duddy - I spend way too many hours hanging out at the Dominion Tavern in the Market - cool bar - cool people - on the surface it's a dive, but it isn't - Jet black tar coffee, mmmmm). If you ever go, drop the name Bluey and one of the bar tenders will probably laugh (and then ban you for knowing an idiot). Smile

Cheers

That's an aweful picture... I look stoned out of my mind.

Nothing wrong with being stoned of course... but looking stoned without being stoned is not nearly as much fun Wink

Do I detect some stoners amongst us? Wink
