The Ottawa event, which will coincide with events the world over will feature local musicians, comedians and lots of goodies for grabs through a silent auction. The night will kick-off at 7 p.m. at Suite 34, 34 Clarence Street in the Byward Market area. This event is supported and brought together by local businesses and social networkers, including Ben Watson of Overlay.TV, Ryan Anderson of Fat Canary Communications, and Kevin Waghorn, an Ottawa-based event organizer.
