I am going to be making a triangle trip to Ottawa and Montreal after February 10th. Details remain to be worked out, but I’m stopping in Bancroft for a party on Saturday the 10th, and then heading east along Highway 7. Anyone want to meet? ---

Sure, could be a preparation for Sugardope. ---

That would be good, since unfortunately it’s looking like I’ll not be able to make it for Sugardope (they’re holding Federal Council at the same time). ---

When is Sugardope? I’d like to meet a few Montreal dopers, though I don’t think I can make it to anything in Ottawa. Although I do plan to go up there at the end of February, but that’s just to visit a friend! Since I have seen her twice in the past 4-5 years, I figure I owe the whole trip to seeing her! ---

I’m in! Incidentally, I have ties to all of the places you mentioned - I live in Montreal now, I used to live in Ottawa, my Dad has a cottage near Bancroft on Papineau Lake, and Highway 7 is a major artery running through my hometown of Peterborough… 😛 ---

I just read the SugarDope thread… looks like I’ll be on another course that weekend and the following ones, so this trip may be it. I’ll know more after talking to a couple of Ottawa (non-Doper) people this week. And I need to book holidays… and I don’t want to do that until my performance review at work is over. :: shudder :: ---

Alas! Alas! Thanks to certain family events, I must postpone this trip until March. However, I have put a firmer date on it in March. I will be taking a building-code course at Loyalist College on the last two wekends of March, and sometime during the week between (the 26th to the 29th of March), I will be making my visits. ---

Well! I will be in Montréal on Tuesday (and probably Wednesday, pending accomodation Tuesday night). Anyone still want to meet? (Sorry, I know it’s short notice…) This is what happens when you absolutely need to get out of Toronto to save your sanity… ---
