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

Here you go scott

Oh dear.

Scott Saute-Moutons is jet-boating on the River (close to Lachine/Old Montreal), nothing kinky!!! But I checked their website, and it is expensive. I guess you can get a deal when there’s a group but La Ronde is a better idea.

$30 is not so bad if people we committed to spending a whole day at La Ronde…

If it was a partial day thing, it may not be totally worth it…

We can bring Aaron’s portable playpen. He’s perfectly happy sleeping in that, and it’s a hell of a lot easier to set up and transport than a crib. Same with his high chair.

Can’t go 'cause I’m in Tokyo but WTH is a Bar-B-Barn? And why not go to St-Hubert?
Hmmmm, how I miss St-Hubert’s chicken and their sauce… I think that will be the first thing I’ll eat when I get off the plane from Tokyo…

Bar-B-Barn . As for Chalet BBQ, it’s like St-Hubert, but privately owned.

I’ll take Jer out to the Bar-B-Barn. See if it’s still a hole, and everything. :wink:

Wow, I haven’t been to La Ronde in probably over ten years. I’d totally be there if I were back east.

P.S. back to Eonwe’s mention of Canadian commercials airing in the states, when did Mourelatos go digital? I loved the used-car-dealership feel of their old spots. IIRC the last one I saw was pretty high-tech and had dancing fruit (and no, it wasn’t scott evil or matt_mcl at Le Zone)
P.P.S. you’ve got to check out that site…highlights include the “supermarket image gallery” and the recipe section.

Wouldn’t be caught dead.

Right, here come the lists of who’s coming, who’s probably coming, who said they might be able to come, and so on.

Who’s coming/probably coming (in no particular order):

CuriousCanuck
Eonwe
clayton_e
Upside_Down_Amber
kung_fu_lola
matt_mcl
Potter
scott & jeremy evil
LaurAnge
detop
jools
5U1C1D3
MsRobyn & the Doorses
ladydisco
Stephi
Daerlyn

Here’s who might be coming (but we haven’t heard from in a while), or at least expressed an interest at one point:

Mnementh
Kwyjibo & Trinn
Harli
Dr_Paprika
Maeglin
iampunha & Fizzes
Lockz
Eats_Crayons

(I’m sure I’m forgetting some people… forgive me. If I’ve forgotten you, speak up, and I’ll post a revised list.)

Now, people we haven’t heard from, but who really should consider coming, are the NY state Dopers (JeffB, Exgineer, etc.), and the lovely TorDopers we met last year.

La Ronde, BTW, is $29 for the day (entry and rides).

Unfortunately, I’d love to go and meet all you Dopers (and see some again), but I won’t be able to make it. :frowning: I’ll tell you guys if something changes though.

Kung fu lola and Upside_Down_Amber’s Dopereal II Status Report:

All systems are a go. UDA may not be able to make it for the entire weekend, but I (the intrepid kfl) will!
We would both like to do La Ronde and Mount Royal (but not if it makes matt feel oogy). We are also up for pretty much anything else. Warning: may contain lesbianism.
Also, August 16th is a religious holiday for me, so I ask that everyone respect my observance and tolerate my devotion on that day.

scott, do we know who’ll be there which days and such? I just got invited to a friend’s wedding on the morning of the 16th, so I’m thinking I might not go up Friday but go up Saturday instead.

Eonwe, I have no idea…

Providing Mnementh is still offering a ride, I think I can make it.

Bumpity bump bump.

CuriousCanuck is on vacation, so he’s not around to play with Eonwe in the Doperéal II sandbox of a thread. :wink:

I’m back now, baby!

I one the sandbox…

I’ll see if if I can go.

Are you shittin’ me, gobear?

This is already shaping up to be the queerest Dopefest EVAR… gobear’s presence would put it over the top!
