I am not sure if I am in favour of bringing back La Machine on an annual basis simply because it was so good because of its uniqueness. I do want a group to be established permanently (no doubt with many who participated this year) to develop a program of unique events to make Ottawa an exciting place to visit and for local residents as well. We are now seeing the potential as a result of people looking outside the box when planning summer events.
I want this vibe to the city. "This is Ottawa? Wow!" Let's get beyond the sedate. Ottawa was exciting this weekend.

I was in Toronto for most of this weekend. I kept seeing the pictures of La Machine and thought, "Damn. I'm in the wrong city this weekend." While I was in Toronto, some of my friends from Toronto were in Ottawa. Thankfully, I got back in time for the finale.
On my way back from Toronto I saw three American license plates in a row heading towards Ottawa- Maryland, Ohio and South Carolina.
