So, like, who’s coming, when, and for how long? I told **Eonwe** that he and **whatmove** could crash here Sat. night, but he’s being a flake and doesn’t know if he’s staying in town, so the **Pad of Evil®** is potentially open for business… ---

Fer sure I’m coming. I’m also planning on taking a sabatical from my “no eating pork”, because, mmm, ham and bacon all covered in syrop is soo good. So very good. _drool_ ---

Cool, **Scott**. Pork is good. 😉 I was just wondering if any out-of-towners are coming in just for the day, on the Friday, or what. Cuz if so, we can plan other stuff to do… ---

_ahem_ _::bats eyes::_ 🙂 What I said above. Who’s coming in from out of town? ---

Alright, I give up. Why the hell doesn’t MapQuest include Canada? Argh. Does ANYONE know how far this place is from Burlington/Montreal? Roughly? Judging from the map, it actually looks kinda like it might be half way between. Is it a set menu, ie: buffet or ala cart? It is still unclear as to whether or not I’ll get schedualed for work that night, and seeing as how I recently experianced a sharp decrease in income, if I get schedualed, I NEED to work. So I guess move me from definate to probably. ---

Been avoiding you **scott**. Now that you’re married you intimidate me. 😉 At any rate. I still really don’t know if I’ll stay over Sunday. I have a feeling that if it’s not ridiculously late when the sugaring off is over, and we’re at all closer to Burlington than Montreal is to Burlington that I’ll just head home. ---

Is this thing still going on? I just came back from my first DopeFest and I’m hooked!! If there’s room I’ll take the bus up, and hopefully find room somewhere. I’m a small guy, I can fit! ---

Yeah, um, how do we plan to get people from downtown to the sugar shack? There’s at least seven of us coming from downtown (including **detop** and friend, and jeremy evil)… **Lockz** , if you want to stay in town, you can crash at the **Pad of Evil®**. You’ve just met **lno** and **Elenfair** … they’ve both stayed here, and they’re still OK… right? 😃 ---

If ladydisco decides to drive down with mr ladydisco (or without him… not my call 😉 ) then I will try and convince them to let me hitch… I am an entertaining car person… But I cannot yet commit 100%… ---

The **Pad of Evil®** can host three comfortably, four slightly less comfortably. We have extra mattresses now (from my honey’s old place)… …and there’s no more Bunny to pee on people (ask **lno** ) cuz she died last week. ☹ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by matt\_mcl \* > \*\*Yes, how are people getting to the sugarshack from downtown? \*\* Well, I have arranged with my friend maf to give a ride to up to 4 people (as mentioned previously above), maybe 6 if they are friendly. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Swimming Riddles_ > **Is it a set menu, ie: buffet or ala cart?** Usually it is a set menu, you arrive, you sit down and they bring you food. And **scott** , are you taking care of the restaurant reservations like you mentiohned previously or should I do it ? ---

Okay, I’m definitely committed. I’ll be driving up to Montreal, and I’ll be staying downtown, so I can drive people on Saturday as long as someone knows how to get there. I can take three other people, perhaps four. I’m staying Friday night (arriving late) and Saturday night. Someone mentioned dim sum for Sunday, and I’d be interested if other people still are. ---

**detop** , I can take care of the resto stuff, and anything else. Le Commensal was mentioned, but, um, once they weigh it and you pay for it… Any other ideas? I also need numbers. Rough person count probably around 15, I figure. In any case, it should be a late dinner, if we’re sugaring off in the afternoon. 🙂 ---

The only other one I can think of is [Chu Chai](http://english.montrealplus.ca/profile/499055/) a vegetarian Thai restaurant. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/montreal-sugardope/147149.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/montreal-sugardope/147149.md?page=6)
