Ottawa Dopefest 2014

Some of us are starting to think about a visit to the tulip fest on the May long weekend: specifically Sunday May 18. We could meet at Dow’s Lake pavilion for a beverage or three, then go look at the tulips, and finish with a beverage or three.

Food could be had too, if you’re into that sort of thing. :wink:

RSVP here and we’ll firm up the details.

Cheers!
Thanks Holland!

Woo Hoo! Dopefest! I will be there!

Wish I could make it, but it’s the one weekend I’ll be out of the country.

Have fun!

What time were you thinking of meeting?

I dunno. I’m open to suggestions, but 1:00 seems about right. A pint or two at Dow’s Lake, a tiptoe through the tulips, and maybe a bite to eat and a pint at one of the pubs in the area.

I’m open to suggestions. Registered at Last led us to a nice pub in the area last year that I quite enjoyed.

Pencil us in! Timing is a bit of an issue for Herr 'spiel but that will be worked out! Maybe it will be warm by then?

Hope you can make it. Times are flexible at this point. You can offer suggestions if my sketch above doesn’t work.

Looking forward to meeting all of you again.

Plenty of Canadian stuff to discuss over a beer lately!

I’ll be there since you are making an exception for Montreal Dopers LOL

I can be there too, though I may only stay for the tulips. It’d be nice to put faces to names for a change.

Excellent.

The more the merrier!

I’m in as well.

Looking fwd to seeing you all again.

Great.

I wish some of our other Ottawa Dopers could make an appearance: Grey? Antonio?

Maybe I’ll PM these guys and see if we can boost the attendance.

I’m not sure yet whether previously made plans for that day will actually happen, so I’ll be a definite Maybe.

Cool.

Looks like gaming will now be on Monday, so I’m upgrading to Almost Certainly :).

Great! I’ve known you here forever. It would be great to meet. I’ll update this thread in a couple of days.

I do Sunday softball at 1 but I’m down to meet you guys later in the afternoon. Where do you suspect you’ll wind up?

Hang tight. Plans are pending.

Need any players on your softball team?

I drove by Dow’s Lake this morning. The tulips are blooming. They should be at their peak this weekend. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and some new ones!

As far as Antonio’s question goes (how late will things run) I am sure we will still be hanging out for dinner and beyond.

Looks like I’ll be at my sister-in-law’s place out near Vankleek Hill, so I won’t be able to make it.

Weather’s looking good for the weekend (so far) and I’ll see if I can’t scrounge up a pint of “The Tom Green Beer” to toast the bunch of you. :slight_smile:
