First off EmilyG please ignore my private message. Now what if we met somewhere off the Francofolies around 4 p.m. as it is the time Sunspace will be arriving in Montreal. At that point we have Francofolies and Fringe Festival all in the same area. We could play it by year from there. Opinions are welcome! ---

Crap! I’d love to do it but unfortunately with 3 kids, one with a birthday party this weekend, my wife’s birthday, and Father’s Day. I can’t do it this weekend. Wait… there was an Ottawa Dopefest? ---

Had a great time with you guys too! And thank you for all your help, **jools**. 🙂 I am now on Megabus… Stuck in a traffic jam on the 401. Welcome back to Toronto! Ran into another student from the course on the bus, There was no problem with my luggage. Megabus even has a waiting room and everything. ---
