| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/27/2005 8:37:34 PM | Hey Everyone
I was thinking that we could have an area get together on or around April 8th or 9th. Ideally somewhere that anyone interested could go, hang out and get to know other singles in the area. Who knows you may find Mr. or Ms. Right.
I know for myself that I have been on POF for about 2 months - and prefer to meet people as opposed to emailing for long periods of time.
All are welcome. I am hoping to meet someone in the 26-34 age range - hopefully I will see some great men out. Come on guys!
As for the place, I am open to your thoughts. I read some stories from the Coral outing so perhaps we could find a different location to try.
Anyways, I look forward to hearing your thoughts and hopefully we can have a great response.
Take care.
Oh ya - check out my profile while you're here!

| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 5:59:08 AM | Hey guys - you should start your own thread since there will likely be a lot of interest.
I see that a lot of people have viewed this topic and would love to hear from you all. Even though I am looking for someone in their late 20s, early 30s all are welcome and hopefully we will have a variety of people at the gathering.
As for a meeting place I would love to hear some suggestions, its hard to get to know people at big bars so any ideas for a pub/lounge - somewhere smaller where you can meet and get to know others would be ideal (The Vault, Starlight). Any ideas?
Have a great day everyone!  | |

| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 7:04:02 AM | | Why not make it somewhere fun like the Spur or Kzone? I think karaoke would be an awesome place to meet people and make a fool of yourself :) Also, there's lots of seating and it's easy to talk to people there because the music isn't constantly screaming in your ears all night... just a thought.. | |

| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 12:40:05 PM | OK - how about we make the plan - Meet at the Silver Spur on Friday April 8th. There is always many great places to go to in Uptown Waterloo if need be. Thanks for the suggestion.
APRIL 8 - at the SILVER SPUR
Hope to see everyone there. Keep the messages coming. | |

| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 12:50:36 PM | | where exactly is the Silver Spur and what is it,,,,,,,,,,,,,a pub?, pool hall? curious minds want to know.........as I am not from Kitchener | |

| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 1:37:35 PM | The Silver Spur is just in uptown Waterloo. i don't know the exact address, but it's near Waterloo Town Square. It's a karaoke bar that serves lots of beer, good wings (usually), and there are plenty of pool tables. They also usually do this thing where you get tickets when you buy drinks, and then when you go up to sing you get to spin the wheel and win a prize. It's not a bad set up.
One thing about the Spur though, is that it tends to draw a huge crowd on the weekends.. so I would suggest meeting up earlier (between 8-9) so that us fishies can get tables.
And I definitely don't think there should be an age limit on it, the more the merrier is what I always say! | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 2:19:32 PM | Not to sound like a snob but I have found from past experiance the Spur to be an obnoxious/rowdy bar with lots of fighting. I tried it a few times and it was nothing but disaster, what about the vault or starlight? They are nice places? | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 2:30:04 PM | I often go to the Spur, and I've never seen any fights there. Buuuutt.. I do normally go on weekdays, not weekends.
The Vault or Starlight could work.. but these are places that are going to be really packed with loud music.. so it would be just like tryin to pick up at the bar. Isn't that the type of atmosphere we're trying to avoid? | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 2:38:11 PM | Hey guys This seems a bit more challenging than I anticipated. I have been to the Vault and Starlight and they both offer a nice atmosphere. They are both small which makes it less of a rowdy bar like atmosphere. They will likely get crowded pretty quick in the evening b/c they are small. Music usually isn't a problem. I guess we can just see who else is interested and come to a consensus on where to meet. We can always meet at one place and hop to others if its too crowded, etc.
Anyways, hope to hear other thoughts - we still have time to decide.
Everyone welcome - post a message! | |

| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 3:58:41 PM | i dont know about bouncing around to other bars , pubs after 9 ...........seeing as they all get packed by that time and line ups.............
talking and posting about them are a good thing...............
what date were you thinking about............ | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 4:46:34 PM | | If you changed your date to April 9th, might be better for a lot of people. LOL. Besides, it's my birthday, we could have a meet new people/birthday party. Kill 2 birds with one stone. | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 8:28:31 PM | | hey guys, this sounds like a grear idea but r there any girls in thier early 20's going????? i'm looking right now and am jus hopeing there might be. and mabey this can be a multi b-day party as mine is on the 11 th. :P any ways i'll prob go but i would really love to see some of the younger crowd join in | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/28/2005 8:47:48 PM | | depends on the attendance' what about something like doolies, on university, go early , good music, good atmosphere, no fighting, lots of room to mingle, or some place similar, any bites???? let us all know!! | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/29/2005 12:33:31 PM | I would be up for a Dooly's extravaganza. Haven't been there in ages, it could be good!
And I also agree with saturday being a better day... fridays are always just too busy! | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/29/2005 4:35:54 PM | | just a thought, maybe more of us could remind others of the FORUMS site , i have not visited it untill the day of the STAMPEDE meeting, got there late , and anyone there knows you have a long wait to get inside. did not get inside, but did get to watch a lot of people brush the snow of there cars, a very busy place is probably not the best. if we want to get every one in , and meet, should be a casual location, my opinion, and if it has to be at a later date , so be it. won't forget the birthday people !!!!,, keep the suggestion coming. | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/29/2005 4:43:10 PM | | i would love to make a suggestion but unfortuneately i dont know kitchener or waterloo that well for places to go............other than it is better than guelph for having mixed age groups......... | |
|
| K-W Area Party/Get-together Posted: 3/29/2005 10:28:47 PM | Hey all - how goes?
I think I would agree with a Dooley's suggestion. Bars and clubs are issues waiting to happen and of course there are the lines to be considered. With a place like Dooley's - you can grab your own table, or get a room (I am more familiar with the Hespeler location in Cambridge). There are tables that we could sit and gather around and those that want to follow up with a more intimate setting afterwards, I know there are tonnes of coffee places around other than the Timmy's next door on University.
But one thing is certain - like stardust said - there is nothing in Guelph - I've been here for almost 2 years and I can't wait to get out lol
Otherwise - hope to see you all there - ..... wherever we finally decide on  | |
