I think I’m going to have to pass on this Fest 
The ride up probably wouldn’t be a problem, but I somehow doubt I could get a ride back to a campground in Clifford, Ontario (near Watch-Out-For-The-Water-Walkerton) which is where the SO will be for the duration of the week following.
::le sigh::
<Sunspace sticks head into thread>
It seems likely (though not certain) that I can pass by. 
I haven’t been to Montréal for ten years, and I’m suffering from Métro-withdrawl. <imploring look at matt_mcl> Any chance of a tour?
I’d be taking the train from T.O. Sleeping place: I’d be (if possible) pestering someone in Pasporta Servo for a place to sleep (note to self: check to see whether there in fact are any Pasporta Servo hosts in Montréal), or staying at the HI hostel, or, if worse comes to worst, staying in Ottawa.
N.B. Must brush up on French. Je désire du flocons du maïs granulées ain’t gonna cut it…
Cripes. I doubt you need to implore him anymore than you would should you have a nutella-covered nekkid Charlie Hunnam on your hands who needed a good licking clean.
In other words: not a problem. Maybe we could organize it as an activity.
Ankau, kompreneble pasportservumeblas montreale, vi voku Normandon kaj Zdravkan.
Smashing.
Waiting to hear from the rest of the out-of-towners…
Sounds good, matt.
Mi sendos mesagxon al Normando kaj Zdravka.*
[sub]*This is not the Esperanto Mafia in action. You did not see this line. There is no such thing as Pasporta Servo.[/sub]
One month to go.
Ottadopers needing a ride: Speak up or forever hold your peace. No holding Eonwe’s piece though. scott evil told me that he likes it a little too much.
Eonwe has a nice piece. I’d love to polish it.
Anyhoo, here’s who were expecting. If you’re in this list and can’t make it, or if you’re not on the list and are planning on coming, do let the Doperéal 2003 Planning Committee know.

We also have some Dopers from the Toronto area who don’t seem to be able to get their acts together. 
Do come.
A little bird tells me New & Improved Scott will very likely be able to join us for evening activities.
BTW, what are the activities ? Lottsa stuff has been suggested but so far I don’t know if anything definitive has been set.
i just hope the weather would be great instead of the gloomy-rainy days we’ve been having…
has anyone else been to the Just for Laughs Festival? i’ve been living here for over 10 years and this was my first time:D
very much enjoyed an Australian man do a show on a unicycle
If I can’t make it, I’ll hear about it from LaurAnge for a while.
Oh yeah, activities.
For the Friday, I guess it depends on who’s here from out of town. A light dinner, maybe, then drinks somewhere. I still want to go do karaoke at Club Date in the Village. I hear matt has an angelic voice that makes the Baby Jesus weep tears of joy. 
Saturday, a cemetery tour was suggested. I’ll look into it. I think there might be a metro tour in the works as well. Then Saturday evening, the traditional Dopefest dinner, followed by whatever. Lovebirds CuriousCanuck and Eonwe have some beer tasting competition thing they want to do.
Sunday would be La Ronde, if people are up for that. (It’s $29 for admission with unlimited rides.) Given the price, a cheap cheap cheap lunch would be in order. And no going to Hong Kong (where we went last year and at Sugardope) again. They were busted and fined $10,000 not too long ago, for unsanitary nastiness! :eek:
But the food was soooo good Anyway, maybe Indian or Lebanese for Sunday’s brunch ? I would avoid the La Ronde’s concessions unless absolutely necessary, don’t you agree ?
I’ve been wanting to go to Buffet Maharaja for years…
Maybe there’s a late planetarium or IMAX show we could see after dinner on Saturday… detop? 
I don’t know about IMAX, but here is a schedule and price list for the planétarium (sorr, it’s in French).
Bah, nothing late.
