DevO Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 subtitle: Or trying to..Yup that's right! I got back from Uganda about a month ago, as did my girlfriend from Ghana. She was offered a great job with the organization that sent her to Ghana (Canadian Cooperative Association) and after a few days of talking and decision making, she took the gig and I'm trying my best to make it in the Capital.She just found us an apartment on Cooper St. in Centre Town. Thanks to everyone for giving apartment finding tips in that other thread.I'm excited to join all youz up there! I haven't explored Ottawa a whole save for a few days here and there so I'm looking forward to it. I NEED SHOW-GOING BUDDIES! My lady friend is into it, but not to the same degree. PS - I'm also looking for a job. I have some cool ideas for a new shawarma place called Shawarma Dance but I'm open to other options too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I cant recall having met you but I think we have. None the less, I look forward to our future encounters. Congrats. My wish is that you and yours love this city as much me and mine does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 It's looking like April 2nd or 3rd will be my official landing date. Mark your calendars! Wish I could've been up there for the Spades on St. Patty's but alas.Booche, I think we only really met once, at CTMF one year, late at night... Looking forward to a more coherent meeting though (leading to less coherence over several hours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 It's looking like April 2nd or 3rd will be my official landing date. David Lauzon's at Cafe Dekcuf on Saturday, April 4, which should make for a good welcoming party. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 where on cooper? (generally, like between bank and bronson or bank and elgin,...)either way, i live in your 'hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) I think its between Bank & Elgin.. Actually I think it might be just east of Elgin (though not sure because Google Maps doesn't display a compass). Good area?April 4th.. Perfect! Lauzon rocks!

Booche Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 BUUUUUUUUUUURN!Nicely done Dinghy.I echo AD's sentiments. That are is cool KevO. I used to work at 400 Cooper and this post makes me miss it. Totally central. I would sometimes stay downtown and go to a buddys place for dinner before we went out to a show.

DevO Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Haha, thanks dudes! Snarf, I am crushed that you won't be here no mo'. I may be in town for a few days next weekend helping to move in, then back to the Hammer, then back again right around April 2. Sounds good Sean, count me in at about... 85% for now. Oh I found out its on Cooper between Bank & Elgin, NOT east of Elgin like I thought before. I'm getting the feeling I'm quite ideally located!

snarfmaster C Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 kev - i am also crushed that our time in ottawa won't overlap for more than a metter of weeks. why? why didn;'t you move here a year ago? figures. things start looking up as soon as i'm packin my bags. well, i hope to be out of my job and have the house dealt with by the time april rolls around, so i'll be free as a bird and ready to party by then. and come may, you'll have a farm to visit down peterborough way!
