**detop** : yeah, that’s a good plan. We just have to see when the IMAX showings are, cuz the Saturday dinner has to fit in there somewhere. 🙂 **CuriousCanuck** : keep coming back. It gets better. 😃 ---

I’m so glad my cemetary suggestion is a hit! FTR, I am 23 and **UDA** is about the same. I must say that I am whipping myself into a frenzy, getting so excited about meeting other dopers! So far I’ve only met **matt\_mcl** and let me assure anyone who hasn’t, yes he is really as fabulous as everyone says he is. I can hardly wait to see what everyone looks like - and meet the venerable **Doors** family. This is so exciting! **pogos around the room squealing like a 14 year old at a Justin Timberlake concert** ---

It’s true, **lola** , **matt\_mcl** is _fab_-u-lous. 🙂 I’m looking forward to this so much, as if I hadn’t seen many of you just a month or so ago. ---

Do we have a date yet? Also, I got my birth certificate (in less than a month; for Los Angeles County, this is a miracle!) last week, so I can prove I am who I say I am to the border guards. Robin ---

Nope, the only movie stars I ever knew were wannabes. On the other hand, many of them do live there, and I once sold a pair of shoes to Kate Mulgrew. And if you spend any time in Westwood, Santa Monica, or West L.A., you do see a lot of them just doing normal stuff. Robin ---

Umm… August 15-17 I think, if that’s OK with everyone else… since **MsRobyn** (and possibly the **Doorses** ) can’t make the weekend after, and it’s better for **Eonwe** , and since no one else expressed a preference either way. Doorses. _giggle_ ---

Yay! Do we have any more suggestions for activities? As in, destination things (for example, last year we went to the Biodôme). I’m sure we’ll be doing the Old Montreal/Old Port/Mount Royal thing no matter what we do. 🙂 ---

I haven’t done any tourist-ish things in Montreal in a long time, so I don’t know what there is really. I see the Museum of Fine Art has an Edouard Vuillard exhibit on. I don’t really know him at all, but that might be interesting if anyone’s feeling museum-ish.
