Doperéal II (Montreal, Canada) - August 15-17, 2003 - Planning thread!

Hello there, my lovelies.

Judging from the preliminary thread, it looks like August 15-17 works out best for Doperéal II. (If, for whatever reason, this weekend is suddenly bad for many, we can of course change the dates.)

So now, less than two months away, it’s time to do some serious planning! Who’s coming, who’s crashing where, things you’d like to do, etc.

A cemetery tour was suggested. I believe Mount Royal Cemetery is giving tours this summer (I’ll look into it). La Ronde (aka Six Flags Over Montreal) was suggested as well - if admission isn’t too expensive, that could be a fun Sunday activity.

Resto suggestions are welcome too, of course.

Everyone who’s anyone will be there! Don’t miss it! :stuck_out_tongue:

claiming a spot at the Pad of Evil

Eonwe and I have a contest to administer, but we can do that outside your pad. :slight_smile:

Bring the dinosaur.

Like he would be left behind!

Oh. By the way, I am driving from Ottawa, FYI. Some space available.

I’d get a kick out of just spending some time in Old Montreal… I haven’t been there in years and years.

I’ll be there of course. For restaurant suggestions : maybe a chicken place ? Bar-B-Barn or Chalet BBQ perhaps ? for Saturday, maybe an Indian place for Sunday brunch ?

Bar-B-Barn!?!?!?!?

You know, they used to advertise on NBC or something, and I’d see those ads on TV all the time, like, back in the late 80s early 90s. That’d be too funny.

As I mentioned, we’re planning for Tom to be in town :slight_smile:

If we visit the cemetery, I hope you don’t mind if I take a minute to go over and visit my dad.

Are we still considering a visit to La Ronde?

La Ronde!!!

If people can afford to spend a few bucks to get in, it would be a blast :slight_smile:

Dude, you’re on vacation… why are you up so darned early?

:slight_smile: yet another hijack brought to you by Eonwe and CuriousCanuck…

I AM on vacation. I am brewing coffee and packing the car… I’m leaving in an hour or so…

Ah, gotcha. Carry on, you wayward son, you!

Since I know squat about Montreal, I’m entrusting the weekend to you. Just keep in mind that we’re probably bringing Aaron.

Robin

cemitery, Laronde are cool.

How bout the Jardin Botanique (Botanical Garden)? My sis took her wedding pictures there last week. It was the first time i go to the Chinese part…very beautiful although nothing was blooming…

As far as restaurants…how bout La Belle Province? i’m kiddin i’m kiddin lol :smiley:

I’ll be there and as I said before if someone needs to crash somewhere, I have space!!!

How about Saute-Moutons? (depending on prices of course)

I will be there. Ca va pour moi.

Lookin forward to Six Flags, if we can swing it.

You might (or might not) be surprised to know that we held the highlight of PoutineDope (last October) at LBP…

jools, WTF is Saute-Moutons? Sounds kinky. :wink:

detop, you know, Bar B Barn is kinda kitchy… could be fun.

Now, you out-of-towners, if you have an idea of what day you’ll be arriving in town, we can plan activities accordingly.

MsRobyn, it will be a delight to have you & the Doorses. Maybe a bit cramped, what with CuriousCanuck and his dino-on-a-stick, but delightful. We’ll borrow a crib. :slight_smile:

It seems La Ronde is a popular idea… I’ll see how much it is.

Er… the crib is for Aaron, not CuriousCanuck.

Maybe we should get a second one.

If I was not away on vacation (on crappy dial up access in the boonies of London, ON) I would take the time to respond with a witty retort.
