Nice :)   I too can be mostly fine with whatever, since it turns out there are TONS of the cheap outdoor OHL games, so not planning to go on the 17th after all. Just have to be up for work the next morning so can't stay out too late.

What other games are there? I’ve never heard of the Olympiques or 67s playing outdoors before. I thought the only two games on the outdoor rink were on the 16th and 17th.

None. I misread!

Fair enough.

I’m going in to it with fairly low expectations. The view won’t be great since the stands are so far away from the actual rink but I figure it’s worth it for the novelty of it all.

Just a poke to remind people about this weekend.

Starting early afternoon on the 17th @BiochemicalDJ `s new place! So far, Novik, Oneyearfromnow, me and BiochemDJ. Any other takers or S/O's coming?

Looking forward to it!

I was planning to have the BF along but turns out he's got to be at Ski Patrol training all weekend.  I am much displeased since we haven't had a weekend to ourselves since September. Also because now I'm going to not one, but two social events by myself. (#introvertproblems)

If anyone needs the address, let me know. Both Novik and OYFN already have it (but let me know if you need a reminder) FYI you are both in the Westboro area, if you want to carpool!

Hope you guys are having (or had) a fun meetup. I forgot to check in on the thread to get the date and just missed it. I'll have to try for the next one.

Hey everyone. We'd like to host a meet up in Barrhaven next week. Either Friday the 9th or Saturday the 10th at around 7-8pm.  If there is enough interest. 

Not sure what happened at the other meet ups (because I keep missing them) but I was thinking board games, BYOB or whatever.

Let me know what everyone thinks and what their availability is.

I'm around, available, and interested for both days; carpooling from the Russel/Walkley area if anyone is on the way to Barrhaven and needs a ride!

Anyone going to Barrhaven from near Trenton? no?

Can you take a small detour Biochem?

My wife and I might be interested if there’s room. I’ll run it by her tonight to see how she feels about playing board games with strangers.

If we do come we’ve got some board games we can bring.

Possibly interested depending on day.  We are back from our epic trip this saturday.  @jambongris - would you have room to carshare if it meshes with other plans?

Welcome back from your trip oneyearfromnow :)

Thanks for the signal, BioChem - I'd love to come but am busy Saturday and am likely committed Friday as well. I might be a last minute Friday addition depending on weather (if my partner drives up for his ski patrol shift Friday, I would love to show up, otherwise we're probably early to bed that night).

Sounds fun! Either Friday or Saturday should work for me. I can bring Scattergories and a couple of other games. Spouse might want to join me. If we both come, though, we have to leave in time to be home at 11:00 to give our dog meds. But even aside from that, it's unlikely I'd be up later than that.

Not a problem. It looks like it’s just going to be me though, our babysitter was unavailable.

Did you want to meet at our place around 7?

Interested, but March is a busy month for us so may not work out. We're most free on the 16-18th weekend.

So I think friday the 16th works for most people, let`s aim for that date.

Work for you @Reggie?

What are we thinking, pot luck supper, games night? And where? I'm willing to have it here, but I can easily go somewhere else too if somebody has kids, and it would be easier for them!

Whatever we do, I can make chili :)

Please god, somebody show him another recipe.

I'm running out of space due to chili ingredients.

On the other hand, we could probably survive a month long apocalypse on it.

I'm happy to bring some food or do games as works for others, slight preference for games though. Anyone else looking forward to warmer weather when it's easier to hang out outside?

As for chili, I think you've lost that battle already Ben. Whether @BiochemicalDJ makes some or not I will be eating it next week as it on the menu at our place... so it's spreading!

Works for me. I would love to host again and really don't mind it because it saves us a babysitter ($50) / or one of us missing out. But I understand if Barrhaven is kinda far. We ll make it work anywhere.

I'd propose an actually game night (where we actually play games this time lol)

I can maybe do next Friday the 16th but with the kiddos and the husband on night shift that weekend:(...i may only be able to join in if it's at my place. I'm happy to host a games night. Reggie your kids can crash here also if we do that. I'm located near Algonquin college area.

Closer than Barrhaven sounds good to me as well*, as does trying to actually play games. I suspect we'll fit in lots of MMM chat on the sidelines though!

*Do you have pets @Frankieve? My partner is very allergic to cats, most dogs, and other furred animals, so just double checking.

No pets. Just two toddlers (maybe 4 if Reggie brings his kids) that I hope will cooperate with us :) They're pretty good if their promised a movie and popcorn and they're usually asleep by 8. (fingers crossed).

Let me know who's in and what time works best for all. I can send out me address to those interested. I'll have red wine and a few snacks. I have a small selection of games we can play but you're welcome to bring some if you have ones you would like to play.
