2:00 sounds about right. Time to get acquainted, have a few drinks, order some food… Drink more. Oh, and of course your prepared speech. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk ---

Awesome. I will be there. Not with bells on though, I don’t own anything like that. Did any Montrealers want to get together earlier in the week… Friday or Saturday? I actually know some people IRL in Montreal, but I am greedy and want to increase my “Dopers I have actually met” quotient.

A bit late for me to plan anything Friday, but are you around Saturday? ---

Your kid might be interested in the War Museum. Sounds scary, but it really provides a Canadian perspective on our military history. I certainly liked it. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk ---

So sorry, but it ended up that I have a lot of work to do today (Saturday,) and won’t be able to meet up. Have a good rest of your trip! ---

Two weeks from today…! Im pumped. Going to Ottawa on the Saturday evening, then will be all raring to go for Sunday at Byward market. ---

On a related note, I have a favour to ask. Do any of our Montreal Dopers attending the Ottawa Dopefest live/work anywhere near the Sheraton Centre Hotel on boul. Rene Levesque? I left a jacket there :smack: in late July and I would be eternally grateful if someone could pick it up and bring it to Ottawa with them? ---

I could do it, no problem. PM me details. I can’t ask for your jacket by your user name. ---

Silly me! I somehow thought it was in August. I could possibly make in on Sunday the 17th. (of September.) ---

I wondered based on your pm, but I thought if you see the thread you will figure it out. (Or I was wrong.) I am going to take a 15 dollar ride share on Saturday afternoon to Ottawa. I have an air b and b booked sat sun and monday night in Ottawa. I was going to stay the extra day in Montreal but the accommodations worked better in Ottawa. I am so ridiculously excited for this trip, seeing my stepson, and then the Dope fest. To finally meet some more Dopers will be awesome! ---
