Oh Andy, are you going to need a ride up?

I can play some of Chopin’s Mazurkas. Can anyone dance it?

Oh, another restaurant suggestion, since it will be that close to Halloween, maybe [the Haunted House dinner-theater](http://www.maisonhantee.qc.ca/mtl/maisonhantee/welcome.html) could be a good choice. It’s a bit more pricey ($42.00 CDN) per person, but for groups of over 10 people, they offer 1 free ticket.

**GAH!** :eek: Compared to cheap Mazurka?

Anyway, it seems we’re going to end being quite a bunch again:

**Eonwe** , who seems to think it’s all about him  
**clayton\_e  
Palve  
Elenfair  
d12  
scott evil  
matt\_mcl  
Daerlyn** If she can drag her sorry ass out of bed. ::d&r::  
**LaurAnge  
New & Improved Scott**… maybe  
**detop  
andygirl  
Loupdebois**

And hopefully **Bryan Ekers** … And maybe **jools** can make it this time. I have no idea if **carine** was serious about coming up from Boston…

So we’re around 12-15 again. Cool. 🆒

Can Mazurka handle this size of group? And do they take reservations? Anyone know?

I wouldn’t mind playing with _your_ Mazurka. 😛

I can play the Polonaise in A major. I think I studied some Mazurkas. It’s been a long time, but I’m sure I must have over the 15 years I studied classical piano…

[Here’s a page on Mazurka.](http://www.fourchette.com/restaupage.asp?id=1191&lang=e&View=&Region=12)

Reservations for groups of more than four accepted.

I say we go there.

Ooh, and I really want to go do karaoke at Club Date.

I hear **matt** has an angelic voice that makes the Baby Jesus weep tears of joy. 😛

Then maybe a drag show at L’Entre-Peaux…?

_steps into the thread, strangles **Scott** _ Ooops. 🙂

**Eonwe** , if you want my couch, I promise not to molest you . . . safer than **Scott’s** place. 😛 And if someone stays here, I’ll be motivated to get up on time.

**Eonwe** ’s staying here. On the couch. You can take in **d12**.

I’m not going to molest him. Come on. :rolleyes: Here I am, trying to establish friendships with straight guys, and you have to butt in and try and prevent it. Shame on you. 😉

Big news, all!

I’m pleased to announce that **Daowajan** will be joining us as well, coming all the way over from Madison! Woo-ha!

(So it really will be a bit of a QueerDope, heh.)

Eonwe, yes, Dao and I will need rides. Work for you? We can figure it out later.

By the way, if anybody wants to come up from Boston, that’s where Dao is flying in, and if you want to join us in our Boston-Hanover-Burlington-Montreal trek, you are more than welcome.

Another _ **Posse of Five** _! **Eonwe** ’s been asked to pick up **clayton\_e** and **Palve** in Plattsburgh, but he hasn’t replied to my emails, the bastard.

This is no longer a mini-Dope. But I’m up for the task of coordinating. 🙂 After Doperéal, I’m a seasoned pro. 😉

Drat! I was coming in here to announce that.

But yeah, I bought some plane tickets and am secretly sneaking off to Boston. I can’t wait to meet you all. 😃

Looking forward to meeting you, **Daowajan**. You won’t be disappointed. We had the best MontrealDope ever at Doperéal.  
It’ll be a ton o’ fun.

So the tentative schedule is:

Friday, October 25: drinks somewhere (Grumpy’s?) for those in town.

Saturday, October 26: Arrival of **Eonwe** , **andygirl** , **Daowajan** , **clayton\_e** , and **Palve** , in the morning. The boys are staying with me. The girls can figure it out…

Saturday lunch: poutine tasting at La Belle Province near Atwater Market. Lafleur’s near Carré-St-Louis is a hole. This LBP is nicer, plus Atwater Market is kinda cool.

**Elenfair** will be arriving Saturday afternoon.

Saturday dinner: Mazurka on Prince-Arthur. Polish food, bring your own wine (I believe). Possibly followed by karaoke at Club Date and bad drag shows at L’Entre-Peaux.

Sunday: **Eonwe** has to leave before brunch. ☹ But I suggest Mövenpick, assuming it’s the same deal as the brunch we had there at TorDope. ($20, but well worth it.)

Dinner: Who knows?

Any suggestions for between meals activities?

Wow, I actually think that **scott** and **Daerlyn** should fight over me. Perhaps a mud wrestling event is in order, and the winner gets to take me home. This could be fun!  
😃

**Andy** and **Dao** , I can definitely bring you guys. We’ll figure out the details later.

And I did e-mail **clayton** , so we should be all set there as well.

Hmmmm maybe I will go. I could always use my Westmont points to get a room at a Comfort Inn, or even the Hilton! Do they have a Hilton in Montreal?
