Surviving in Ottawa

If you’re ever visiting Ottawa, or just want things to do aside from camping at home to avoid the frigid exteriors, here’s what you need to follow:

• Apartment 613
• http://www.apt613.ca

Apt 613 is an institution. Not that great for pure bulk of information, but it’s well curated, and written by folk that know local scenes.

• Couch Assassin
• http://couchassassin.com

A new startup, thanks to the Apps4Ottawa competition. Super stoked and already found some events I didn’t know about using this omghuge database.

• The Wig
• http://thewig.ca

I recently discovered The Wig. How I didn’t know about it before remains a mystery to me. A ton of events of all types under the rainbow.

• Dial 613
• http://dial613.ca

Dial 613 was a great show listing site. It shut down though. The host is looking for someone to take over, though!
