OK. In this thread, Lsura tells us that she will be in town 21st-27th of July. Therefore, we must have a dopefest during that time.
Andygirl, Dewt, Dylan, Eunoia, Renton_lvr, LaurAnge - this means you!!!
Aww… I so want to come! But with my car’s fuel pump problems, it wouldn’t be prudent to take it on a four-hour trip. 
Somebody have a drink for me.
Racin, I presume you don’t have the cabbage to rent a car/take the train.
Folks, is there anyone living near Racin?
Wow…just 'cause I’m coming to town, huh? Coolness-way to make me feel special(I needed that-it’s been a rotten week, and it’s only Tuesday.)
Anyway, as matt_mcl said, I fly in Saturday the 21st around noon, and out at around 9AM Friday the 27th. I’ll have my mother with me, but she’s cool. It’s a vacation-we have no firm plans as yet, so all dates are currently open.
The hotel reservatons she made are at the Hotel St. Denis. Now, considering that neither of us have ever been to Montreal, any directions/decisions are left up to y’all.
Hmmmm, what about me ?
Whoa.
I’m thinking maybe. I’ve never been to Montreal! Only problem is, I’m poor as dirt. Really poor dirt.
So count me in as a definite “I’d like to”.
Mnem, where are you again? Toronto, yes? Maybe we could get a TorDopers convoy to come down (Sunspace?)
Toronto indeed. A convoy’d be great, what with me not having a driver’s license and all. 
I’m in! Just let me know where and when, and nothing will keep me away! (Not even my parents ;))
Gakfrak.
Gack…
Frack…
The 27th?.. That would be… hmmm… yesterday. Ah yes, my Birthday. Hmmmm… A guys birthday would’ve been a damn frigging good time to be at dopefest, wouldn’t it? All that attention, free drinks, a romp through late night Mtl with Matt_mcl as a guide (who knows all the coolest and freakiest places to go)…
'Course that was all yesterday…
::dramatic pause::
Waaaaaaa-hhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa-waaaaaaaaaaaaa <- crying like a baby
That’ll teach me to not check in more often.
Uh, dewt, that would be the 27th of July.
Yup. I’m there, baby. Bring your sarcasm shields and bullshit deflectors. And ice-cream sandwiches, I love those.
Too bad Mnementh, wouldn’t be the same without you. Igloo jokes, can’t get enough of them. I can however commiserate, I’m as poor as crack-in-the-sub-basement-floor dirt. Get a job ya bum, at least I can rationalize that in Montreal there are no jobs.
detop Let’s just speak joual and punctuate every sentence with tabarnak!
Matt_mcl Be prepared to discuss the proposition that John Ralston Saul’s insecurities vis-a-vis the French-Canadians and his own intellectualism are as palpably obvious as a half-formed layer of skin befouled with bleeding tumours, or, alternately, take us somewhere that rocks!
Lsura Are you excited? Bring me a pack of Camel Lights.
What about meeeeeeeee?
Waaaah!
sniffle
Hmmm… that might be worth a trip. Mnem, you’ve already had the displeasure of cramming into my car, haven’t you? Think you could handle it for five hours? Each way?
Couldnt that be AUGUST 27th? Thats when I’m going back to Québec! Though Mnem, I’m in Hamilton. Wanna travel this way for a dopefest one day?
Ack! The TWO Mnem’s!!! 
Well, of course I’m excited. You really want a pack of Camel lights? I quit smoking, ya know. But I could probably buy a pack and not open it for you, seeing as how you’re being so nice about all of this. 
Mom wants to do the fireworks thing Saturday night(the day we fly in), and our flight out is at around 9AM that Monday(since she has a 2-hour drive once we get back to Atlanta).
Are y’all in the same time zone(Eastern) that we are? Just out of curiosity, and since I can’t find my atlas, I though I’d ask.
Montréal is in the Eastern timezone. The Atlantic timezone is east of Québec, and the Central timezone is west of Ontario.
Just FYI.

Ask anyone, Montrealers smoke like fiends.
Now you’re coming just for the weekend???
Yeah, yeah. It’s really been a long week. Today still feels like Monday. No, we are really staying through that Friday.
Can I go to sleep and have it be Saturday now?
Anything you want dear.
And eunoia is right, we Quebecers smoke like if tobacco was a cure to cancer.
P.S. I"m a smoker too !
