Admission to the Labyrinth: $11 Admission to the Biodôme: $10 Drinks at Drugstore: $20 Travelling to Montreal just to stay at the **Pad of Evil®** : Priceless 😃 Anyway, I’ve compiled a list of those who’ve expressed interest in participating Forgive my unbridled enthusiasm: **LaurAnge scott evil matt\_mcl Hamish Bryan Ekers lno Maeglin Elenfair detop Daerlyn** We’re ten. That’s a good start. 🙂 I’m working on getting my dear friend **depgrl** to participate even though she doesn’t read the boards and has a post count of two. She’s a lot of fun, and quite the character. :eek: Out of ten, _three_ are queer. Come on! We need more queer Dopers! 😉 - s.e. ---

Unity II? Ew. You know when Unity closed down they fired all their gay staff and started physically preventing their gay clientele from entering the new straight bar, right? Anyway, this all sounds like smashing fun. Did we settle on a date yet? ---

Okay, nobody’s allowed to make fun of me for this (or else I won’t take off my shirt even ONCE if I go): If one were to try to buy stuff in Canada with American money, the odds are not good that it would be accepted, right? ---

Did we settle on a date yet? \*\* I had no idea it was a str8 bar. I haven’t been in the loop, really - the only place I ever go is Q-Zone. Yes, the weekend of Aug. 24, with fun activities starting Friday Aug. 23 (that’s when **lno** will be arriving - hopefully not too late in the day - and hopefully **Maeglin** as well). I think Drugstore is good for Friday because if I’m held up waiting for either to arrive, we can join everyone there even if it’s kind of late. I’ll be taking the Friday and Monday off work. - s.e. ---

Why not just exchange money when you get here (if you end up coming)? You can probably even withdraw from ATMs. Whenever I visit NYC I never had a problem withdrawing American money from a bank ATM (not those stand-alone rip-off ATMs). Does this mean there’s a possibility of you coming? ::perk:: There’s still space in the **Evil Bed®**. 🆒 - s.e. ---

I’m not a guarantee to arrive that Friday - I may be roadtripping across the east coast the week prior, so it may be Thursday, it may be Saturday, or I may be flying into Dorval someday in November. Details as events warrant. ---

Labyrinth KICKS ASS! It’s lots of fun to do in small teams! 😃 I’m all for it, too. I should be heading up on the Friday. 🙂 Elly ---

Somebody email him/her! (I’m too lazy, and tired, dealing with the poltergeist in my apartment.) We could all still get together, though. The 28th is my payday. 🙂 We could discuss what we want to do in August. - s.e. ---

Well, since he is flying in on Monday and he specified that he wouldn’t be online **after this weekend** (bolding mine), he can still get in touch with us. I’m willing to e-mail him, but I don’t want to disturb an admin for such a mundane reason (I believe they have lives too). ---

Anyway, you can do a search to find his email. I’m still up for a mini-MontrealDope this weekend, though. Also, **matt\_mcl** will be leaving for Spain shortly thereafter, so it would be a nice send-off for him. 🙂 I hope he practises safe sex! Ever hear of AIDS??!??!??!!? 😃 - s.e. ---

He posted this on the 19th, so… And his e-mail is unlisted, hence the admin comment. ---
