Um… the Sunday is better… but if my son and I can get a ride to Ottawa from Montreal with you, thats doable. I didn’t plan to leave Montreal until mid afternoon on Saturday, then check into whatever Air B and B i book… But I am good with shaking things up a bit. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk ---

Count me as interested, I’ll see when a date and venue are finalized. The suggested Sept 15-16 works for me. I’m not picky for a specific venue. ---

I’m interested but I have what may be a really dumb question, having never been to a dope fest or knowingly met a Doper IRL. From an anonymity POV, do we use our usernames at these things or do people slide into real names? Thanks ---

I honestly don’t care, before I became Mona Lisa Simpson, my user name was JulieFoolie and my real name is close to that. My brother calls me Jules, my Dad calls me Jay, my neice calls me Juji, I am also known as (my son’s name)'s Mom" and I think as of this afternoon **Leaffan** is calling me Rob Petrie… all are acceptable. I was once referred to as (my Mom’s name) 's grandson’s mother. That is the only one that made me go whaaaaa? ---

As for pick a date… Im flexible. I prefer Sunday, but either one is fine. Show of hands who prefers Saturday? Sunday? Either? Probably won’t get their butt off their couch and come to either day? ---

I am also flexible as to day/date - whatever works for the majority. I forgot about there being a Clocktower Pub in the Market - craft beer! ---
