I’ll be there . . . I may even be able to swing the weekend off, so as to not sleep through everything. It’s my one failing, I know. ---

:eek: GOBEAR?! _faints_ oh my GOD you have to come now. You’re welcome here at the Fagtorium. (What with **Hamish, Potter, Gobear** and me, that would be one the largest collection of gay Dopers in one house, by my count.) ---

_Ahem_ Exceptionally, I’ll be in Montreal around that time. Unfortunately, I think I’ll be pretty busy, but I might be able to make it for lunch, or drinks. That is, if none 'o you fine folks mind. ---

Not at all! Keep checking here for the final itinerary. You can easily recognise Montreal dopers due to their poutine-eating habits and love of the metro system. 🙂 ---

Right, the sandbox is closed. I’m in charge. _{{cracks whip}}_ You boys had better do what I say. **jovan** , we’ll probably plan a fun activity for both Saturday and Sunday afternoons that will involve some kind of lunch. And there’s always the traditional Saturday evening Dopefest dinner. It would be great to meet you! As for the rest of you… especially you out-of-towners… _{{cracks whip}}_ Now’s the time to start chiming in with what you want to do, and if applicable, when you’ll be in town. _{{cracks whip}}_ 😛 ---

As restaurants, we have choices of Mc D, KFC, Subways, Mr.Sub, Burger King (i don’t think so) Nickles (anyone a Celine Dion fan?) Scores, St-Hubert (very good Chicken and Steak) How about an open chinese buffay in china town? (if no scardy cats think about sars connection with the chinese population, it’s just apsurd) Tim Hortons for coffee? oh oh oh &…& ice cream from Laura Secord! _drules_ excuse me, i think i need a towel 😃 ---

If we’re reduced to offering hunorous restaurant suggestions, at least let’s keep them local please ! Restaurants : Lafleur, Binerie Mt-Royal Coffee : Van Houtte Ice cream : Le Bilboquet (home made ice cream) ---

so is ‘hunorous’ like a combination of ‘humourous’ and ‘honourable’? We could adopt it as the Montreal by-word. 😃 ---

We were at Reuben’s this evening (the one we went to with **CC** and **Stephi** at SugarDope), and the back room is rather nice. We could reserve that. **Eonwe** , what’s your plan? Are you still going to a wedding on August 16? ---
