Doperéal II (Montreal Dopefest) - let's try this again

“But Main Street’s still all cracked and broken!”

“Sorry ma, the mob has spoken…”
“Monorail… Monorail… MONORAIL!”

“Mono… d’oh!”

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. :slight_smile:

CuriousCanuck: keep coming back. It gets better. :smiley:

I have no doubt :slight_smile:

I have to be there when the second leg comes off…

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. :slight_smile:

I’m looking forward to this so much, as if I hadn’t seen many of you just a month or so ago.

Some of us you just cannot get enough of :slight_smile:

(and now Scott will be in shortly to twist this against me somehow… :slight_smile: )

Wow… I guess I was wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

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.

You were born in LA? You must know movie stars!

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.

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

sounds good…

Oh, so you’re going to come finally? :wink:

It wouldn’t be fair to all of you if I stayed away. :slight_smile:

Putting this on the Doors family calendar…

Robin

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. :slight_smile:

MONORAIL!

Jazz!

Big picnic in a park where we can play silly games!

ROLLERCOASTERS!

Poutine!

Tiara vs Dinosaur!

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.
