Montreal (Queer) Dope!

Okay. This is a new incarnation of this thread.

I am opening a new thread for two reasons:

  1. I want to make it clear that while there may (or may not, at this point) be some homosexuality-related activities, people from all walks of life are welcome.

  2. The date that was decided upon in the last thread is, well, next weekend. I don’t think anyone has made plans.

So! I know some people have expressed interest in driving up, and I really want to meet all of you!

Our date options are:

Sometime in July. Maybe not that convenient 'cause it’s soon, and TO dope is happening 13-14.

August - possible, but I’m out of town from the 5th to the 22th so someone else would have to organize it and I wouldn’t be there :frowning:

Late August/early September: This is sounding best to me. If we could manage to fit it in between the time all the summer activities are over and before school starts (or, before school stress starts, anyway) it’d be great.

So, what do you guys think? How does late August sound?

“Homosexuality-related activities?” giggle OOoo!

Late August would be perfect for me.

Queer Dope you say?

As opposed to say, a Straight Dope?

Precisely.

Well, matt, as I’ve said before, I have NO CLUE what’s going on in the gay scene in Montreal. That’ll definitely be your domain!

Count me in if it’s in late August. I’ll probably actually have a car and a job by then.

I work Fridays and Saturdays. I have Sundays free.

I would be there, but as I am quite poor, consider me there in spirit.

Is there a reason we couldn’t have it in early August? Andygirl’s already coming up for Divers-Cité on the 4th, and I’m getting back on the 1st.

Because Laurange is going to be in Europe from the 5th to the 22nd, it says in the OP.

Right, but the parade is the 4th.

matt, while I’d try to swing it, organizing, or even attending a Dopefest on th 4th when I’m leaving the 5th would be problematic. If that’s really the best time for you, however…

Don’t make me start naming names, people. I know several of you should be in here.

Whaa? :confused:

After my recent excursion to Toronto, I think I have a taste for Canadia. Put me down as a tentative.

Count me IN!

I can be there, so long as I have enough warning to make sure I book time off at the training hall (and find another dog handler/trainer to keep the pups for a day or two)…

I just meant people like, ahem:

Bryan Ekers, Maeglin, Eonwe, andygirl, iampunha, mswas and detop. (sorry if I left anyone out!)

OK, I’m game, count me in, always ready to meet other Dopers.

OK I’ve already accepted one person to stay with me. That means I have three other spaces max. In total, there are two on the living room floor (with sleeping bags - I make no guarantee for your comfort), one on the couch, and one (hopefully male) to share my bed with me (I’ll wrap my hands in Tensor bandages if need be). It’ll be tight, but it should be fun. Bear in mind it’s not a bloody bed & breakfast, so I’ll need some help here.

Given I now have a couple of months, I can work on some other Queer Dopers… hehehe.

And YOU, you, be civilized! :wink:

I call my spot on scott’s floor!

:smiley:

Well, should my financial situation right itself, I’ll be there. Lord knows I can’t make June 22. I think if I did that I would be homeless after July 22, and that’s not a good thing:(
