I think I might be able to drag my friend with me this year. His lack of anything to do and his need to be creative is a nice little incentive :)

Can't make it... high-school cross-country meet that day, and all the homework I left undone on Tuesday to finish that night. :) To those who do go, have fun!

I think that I'm going to try and make it. I'm going to have to find my way there, I'm not very familiar with Ottawa yet, but it's off of Bronson, so it should just be a question of which bus to take.

the 85 stops right in front of the restaurant on Bronson if memory serves me correctly. and I believe the 2 goes the whole way down Sommerset so either of those'll do ya.

Also, it's a bit of a walk, but the 1, 4, and 7 all stop on Somerset -- the northbound buses stop on Kent, while the southbound will have you past Bank on O'Connor. Woo, construction.
Google Maps does bus routes now, btw. It's usually a lot easier than trying to muck about with the official OC Transpo site, though sometimes it's finicky. (Transfer from the 4 to the 85? Surely they jest.)

I don't think I can go this year seeing as there's literally NOTHING I can eat there aymore.. and I doubt they'd be too happy with me just having water... >>; *doesn't eat any sugar or simple carbs anymore* We all know that their food consists of virtually only that and the occasional substance that is often mistaken for meat. OTL
If there is another random pre-meet like there was last year, I'll defintely go to that. o3o That was fun last year.
I'll keep you posted if I change my mind though. :P It would be nice to see people again. :3

I got a sitter, so count me in now for sure.
I'll be busing it back to Orleans after the event so if there is anyone from that corner of the world who is a little nervous busing alone at night, they'll have company if they want it.

I'll be coming in from Carleton Place and picking up LDS on the way. I'm trying to talk hubby (rjc52) into attending; but he's doing recycling pickups that day and likely won't be presentable or rested.

I have a class on wednesdays until 830 so I'll have to be out on this one!
Do we have anything planned for the 1st though?
I'll most likely be moving into a second cup for the day, if anyone wants company.

I hate that I can't make it, but I'll definitely do my best for the write-ins. Especially the first one; the day after Halloween? Aie, this university student is going to have to limit the drinking if I want to make it on time. =P
Hope the people that can make it have fun at the meet-up.
