At some point and time...
Who posted this glowing review of Dave Burrows? Could it be his alter ego?
infinitanium:
I want a tumblr meetup to happen here in Winnipeg. Just one where I can go. And on a reasonable day too.
There was one early this year, but that’s when I basically just started using tumblr, and it’s kinda random. A good amount of people were there too, so I’ve heard.
I would guess it would be at Eat...

1 HOUR!
It’s either time to start walking or hop in your trasportation.
And I know we won’t hear any excuses about the snow, we’re Winnipeggers. Excuses are for people from Toronto.
Also, tumblr didn’t send us the stickers/meet up gear (which is odd seeing as how we’re the tumblr capital of Canada) so we’re whipping up something of our own. Hope you enjoy!
urbendisaster:
i gotta figure out how to work this thing and use it… holy god, it’s amazing!!
Figure it out after the meet up!

WPG tumblr meet up is tonight! + one note
It’s go time folks!
Hope to see all the Winnipeg tumblrs at Aqua Books/Eat! bistro tonight. Should be a hilariously great time. Hopefully.
One note I thought I should mention, because of the bistro’s liquor license if you want to have a glass of wine or a beer you’ll need to order some kind of food. I’ll be eating supper, though, so hopefully someone else will be eating...
To go or not to go.
infinitanium:
I’m strapped on cash this week, and just now I found out about a Winnipeg tumblr meetup.
I’m totally new to tumblr, and I’m not really following too many people yet. Hmmm.
I’d be cool, but I don’t know. Plus I got somethangs to do. :\
Damn.
1. Eat! bistro has great desserts so if you don’t want to have a full meal that is an option, or just get a coffee and hang out.

What is not fun part 2..
gregthedino:
…. is when you are sleeping in your underwear and the head construction guy decides to come into your room. I had kicked the covers off and everything. I would just like this to all be over before they see me naked.
Ok, I lied. There is a sort of a dress code… you need to wear clothes. Don’t pull any of this “oops I’m naked” stuff when you show up at the...
littlebluerobot:

“do you honestly not want to talk to me evr again for that? which in the grand scheme of things is so unimportant and irrelevant?”
Excuse me. But you dont get to tell me what insults are relevant to me.
Bring her to the tumblr meet up!
On tumblr meet ups and facial hair
ashleyharder:
Bay’s my date to this and I say he grows like a 4 or 5 day beard…it’s when he looks best.
I accept.
On tumblr meet ups and facial hair
After creeping doing some research by looking at pictures of other tumblr meet ups around the world I’ve come to the conclusion that for this meet up to be valid there needs to be a beard. And since I cannot grow one to save my life I am demanding that Bayard not shave his face until after the WPG tumblr meet up. If that is ok with him.
I officially proclaim that Winnipeg is indeed the...
david:
I’m also very excited to see that they are having a meet up on March 31st. I’m thinking about hopping on my Segway and making my way across the border for it!
Awesome! And thanks, we’ll save a spot for you.
marmle:
but it’s a schoooool night!
True. That’s why it starts early! Then you can get home and do some homework if need be. Plus, it’s the first one, we’re testing out the waters and if it goes well we’re going to do it again. Next time probably on a weekend… and with a few surprises.
Winnipeg is the tumblr Capital of Canada
There, I said it. Suck it, Toronto.
Columbus had a successful tumblr meet up.
Columbus. Seriously.
Winnipeggers, we can knock this out of the ball park.
Tuesday, March 31st, 6:30pm at Aqua Books. Be...

all ages? =D this would be awesome man :3
It would be awesome, sadly it is not an all-ages event. This time at least. Sorry.

The Winnipeg tumblr meet up is on. Who says you need to be a huge city to have a tumblr meet up? No one (seriously, I searched tumblr for “huge city meet up” and looked at all the links and found nothing).
We will be meeting at Aqua Books (click the link for a map) and dining in their restaurant, Eat! bistro. We will have the “blue room” reserved and set-up for all the...
Winnipeg meet up > Chicago meet up? Like, duh.
Oh look, the Chicago tumblrs had a cartoon at their meet up, big whoop. We know how to use Photoshop too you know (or at least a cheap knock off version) so we can put a fro’d out picture of bookstore owner, Kelly Hughes, into your awesome meet up pics! Example:
Oh man! The WPG meet up looks AWESOME!
That’s another feature of the Winnipeg meet up; fun. It’s going to be a...
Date for the WPG meet up
Ok, lets start figuring out what dates work for everyone. If you don’t select/suggest a date then we’ll just assume they all work for you. Here are three suggestions:
Saturday, March 28th Tuesday, March 31st Friday, April 3rd
For all these days we can get the off-room at Eat! Bistro and be able to use the upstairs event rooms at Aqua for free.
Reblog with the dates you can come on...
Winnipeg meet up > NYC meet up? Probably not but...
Sure, the NYC meet ups have tumbl-master David Karp, big whoop. Did you know he probably doesn’t even want you there because you’re a B-list tumblr???
Another positive of the WPG tumblr Meet Up; everyone is invited! If you live in Winnipeg, or hell, even if you’re just in town, and have a tumblr you’re invited to this gong-show of an event.
A little scared or...

Winnipeg meet up > L.A. meet up? Probably.
So some guy at the L.A. meet up played beer pong and then got in his gitch and started chasing people around, big whoop. That doesn’t even sound like fun. How does something like that happen in America anyway, with your baby beer? (Doesn’t Canadian beer have more alcohol content than American? This guy says no but he seems like a real stickler so who cares what he thinks).
The main...
Bayard! (and everyone else)
First things first, come on. Aqua Books wins the creepiness competition by yelling “Winnipeg Meet Up!” while we walk past your work (scaring the crap out of some old dude) and no comment? Second, email us (winnipegmeetups@gmail.com or dave@aquabooks.ca) so we can make you a member of WMUs. We need you. You’re the hype-man. You are the Flava Flav to our Chuck D.
Now, everyone...
