Somewhat incomplete, as my original pick for brunch doesn’t do the all-you-can-eat thing. But anyway… * * * **Friday, Oct. 25:** Drinks at Drugstore at 8:30 PM, 1366 Ste-Catherine est. **Saturday, Oct. 25:** Poutine tasting at 1:00 PM at La Belle Province, 3001 Notre-Dame ouest, near Atwater Market. No afternoon activities planned. Dinner at 7:30 PM at Mazurka, 64 Prince-Arthur est. Followed by karaoke and/or a drag show in the Village. **Sunday, Oct. 25:** Brunch somewhere TBD at 12:30 PM. * * * Brunch suggestions are welcome, otherwise it’s gonna be Chez Cora on Stanley. Once the brunch thing is straightened out and reservations made, I’ll update the thread. As well, a PDF with detailed directions and contact numbers will be posted shortly. Au plaisir de vous (re)voir ! 🙂 ---

So, where’s the PDF? What are we paying you for, text messages!?!? Should we just meet initially at the P-tasting? Will there be a place to park there, etc? ---

(I don’t want a repeat of the **lno** car break-in.) Then you & the boys can bring your stuff up to my place, and we’ll take the metro to the poutine joint. If your ETA is later than the poutine tasting, we can make it later. ---

So. Am I, or am I not putting someone up on the **Couch of Doom** – er, **Daer**? 🙂 I will be there, and I promise not to sleep through everything. 😃 ---

Right, the brunch gods were against me. Like, how retarded is it for a breakfast place like Chez Cora to not take group reservations on the weekend? So I had to make a very, very difficult executive decision. :rolleyes: It’s now lunch, at 12:30 Sunday, at **Le Mandarin** , 1240 Stanley, metro Peel. All-you-can-eat Chinese and North American food for only $8.00 (taxes included). Reservations under the name of **scott** , of course. The cheesy itinerary PDF is done and will be online soon. Oh, and upon re-reading my OP, that should be Friday, Oct. 25, Saturday, Oct. 26, and Sunday, Oct. 27. :smack: **Daer** : I dunno. ---

_sighs_ Work hates me. ☹ I’m going to miss both poutine and Le Mandarin, because I have to work 8.30 to 5 on Saturday and Sunday. However, I will be at Drugstore and Mazurka, and else might take place outside of those hours. Ah well. At least I _have_ a job now. ---

**Daer** , you suck. 😉 No one’s coming. PoutineDope is cancelled. Just kidding. Maybe the mysterious **d12** and **Stephi** will show up after all… _sigh_ Hope springs eternal. ---

Hm… around noon. We’re going to leave Hannover maybe 7:30, get clayton at 10:30-ish, depending on when we get to the fairy (no, not scott\_evil, the boat across lake Champlain), then 1.5-ish hours to Montreal. ---

You should lay off IRC and the sauce. They’re rotting your brain. 😛 I might be bringing my new kind-of-squeeze **Danny** along with me for some of the activities… I’m going to have to warn him about how bizarre you all are… :eek: OK I’m weird too, but he’s used to it. ---

But **Laur** , you’re coming to lunch & dinner tomorrow and lunch Sunday? And any word from **Elly**. **Daer** , **detop** , **matt** , are you still coming tonight? I might bring **Danny** but **matt** is not allowed within a 50-foot radius of him. 😛 Actually, no, just got an email from work fag-hag advising against it… This is a sinking ship. A train wreck. Insert metaphor here. ☹ ---

Enowe: (I’m also e-mailing this to you in case you don’t see it here) I’m really sorry, but some things have come up and I don’t believe I will make it there tomorrow. You won’t have to stop in Plattsburgh. I’ll see you guys at another dopefest, have fun. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/montreal-poutinedope-the-itinerary/132733.md?page=2)
