Finally got the immigration process almost complete, all I have left to do is my interview at the US Consulate in Montreal and from there - crossing the border! (YAY!) So I’ll be in Montreal this weekend and thought it would be kinda neat to meet the local Dopers (whoever is interested, that is) So, who wants to entertain my mother dear and I? 😃 We’re staying at the Hotel Dufort and I will be struggling mightily to get along with my poor understanding of quebecois french. We’ll be flying in on the 24th and out again on the 26th. A cup of coffee and a genuine poutine would be greatly appreciated, if someone could point me in the proper direction 😉 It’s entirely possible that absolutely NOONE wants to meet me - in which case I’ll be forced to entertain my mother in Montreal’s infamous strip clubs. Not a pretty thought. ---

Sure, it will be interesting to meet you. And don’t go dissing our strip joints. I’m sure your mother would be greatly entertained by those catering to the female persuasion. 😃 ---

YAY! Hotel DuFort? Is that a wacky coincidence or did you KNOW **scottevil** lives on the same block? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by LaurAnge \* > \*\*YAY! > > Hotel DuFort? Is that a wacky coincidence or did you KNOW **scottevil** lives on the same block? \*\* I live right next door, in fact. Are you stalking me, **Venoma**? 😉 Anyway, both Friday and Saturday I’m free before 8 PM and after 10 PM (meetings), so let me know… This will also be the Montreal Dopers’ first taste of **sober scott®**. Who’s gonna buy me a Shirley Temple (or coffee) of congratulations? 🙂 ---

Oops. Just checked the dates and realized **Venoma** ’s here Sunday to Tuesday. In any case, same deal for Sunday & Monday in terms of my availabilty - before 8 PM or after 10 PM. How about Sunday late afternoon? I can meet **Venoma** at the hotel… ---

Sunday late afternoon will be great! and I will be more than happy to buy you a coffee with mocha, or whatever your preferred flavour may be 😃 ---

You guys decide the place - time should be around 4 or 5 pm so’s I have a chance to primp after landing and shuttling 😃 (plus I’ll be starved by then) ---

Umm, since **Venoma** wants a poutine, how about we go to La Belle Province on Ste-Catherine west of Guy first, then retire to Second (non-smoking, grr) Cup or Presse afterward? I have a meeting at 8 but I can skip it if we’re having too much fun. 😉 ---
