I'm from Ottawa but I've been in Kingston a little less than a decade now. Went to Glebe.


Lived in Ottawa for two years now. Grew up in a city in the middle of nowhere called Peterborough.

Okay guys it's almost August. We really need to decide on a certain date and figure out whose in for sure. How does August, Saturday 18 sound to everybody? Also, if you're in please show up for sure. We don't want to have one or two people show up and nobody else is there. Maybe we should message each other on Wrong Planet as well to stay connected.

That's the thing. I'm a little hesitant to pick out a date currently because I have no idea how August is going to play out. I can say a temporary "yes" based on the criteria I listed earlier in the thread, but something could come up between now and then. At least if I decide closer to the date my "yes" would be more emphatic.

And one last thing, how do we know it's us?
If I go there, how do I know which group of people to go to, will someone be holding a sign saying "Aspies come here"

We'll probably all meet in a certain area....possibly around Union Station. Maybe everyone can pm everybody their picture so we know what everyone looks like.

If you know any Aspies in Peterborough, maybe something should be set up sometime there too. I don't know of anyone myself though, was kind of a lone wolf.

So, just to be sure, so far it's a yes from lostgirl, and a maybe from AScomposer? Is there anyone I'm missing?

I think I would like to meet with you as well.............but if I have a really stressful night the night before or a week leading up to it then I might have to bail out, this happens to me sometimes, so a tentative yes from me as well. I live in North York (very close to the Yonge subway). August 18th works for me........is there a time yet?
