OK, well I just got cast in a fairly unglamourus, yet paying, stage reading of Noel Coward’s Private Lives which is taking place on the 23rd. So if we were going to do it then, I could meet you guys (I’ll be just south of the border). Judging from the map, the place selected is RIGHT over the border, which would rock for me.

I’d invite you all to my reading, but A.) I don’t know if it’s open to the public and B.) there’s a good chance it might suck ass.

Did I mention I was getting paid for this?

Ok… so I’m trying to plan some things, and I need to know what time the sugaring off would be, approximately.

To clarify that a bit… I’m working out a rehearsal schedule, and I think I’m going to tell the director I can work until noon… that’d put me to Montreal by about 2 PM. Will that be early enough?

It should be Eonwe, but check the location of the sugar shack. You might not need to come directly to Montréal. Thr place selected is real close to the border.

I’m just wondering how we’re all going to get there… we need cars… :eek:

I’m weorking on that.

My plan is to drive up and stay somewhere downtown, so I would be able to take a few people along.

A friend of mine with a minivan has agreed to give us a lift, so there’s 4 seats available.

Ok, I’m definitely there, and probably can get up to Montreal early enough to give folks rides to the place, if need be.

Wait, which day are we discussing, Saturday or Sunday?

Eonwe: are you staying in town? Is whatmove coming?

Swiddles: Ummm… Saturday? detop?

Yep. Saturday is correct.

I can’t committ totally yet but it looks about 75% sure… I’ll be driving up I think so assuming I do then I can take 3 to sites…

That is asssuming of course that my Saturn loves me and stays road worthy :slight_smile:

So, like, what’s going on with this? Hmm? bats eyes :slight_smile:

It’s still on. So far those who posted an interest to assist. ? besides those who were doubtful :

Change my probable to “definite,” barring the worst (a meter of snow, for example). Sarah from the Snopes Board might tag along.

Reservations have been made at the sugar shack under the name Cecil Adams for 1430 hours (their second lunch serving) on the 22 nd of March.

Cool. I guess we can count jeremy evil in…

So, like, are we gonna make this a weekend-long thing? Like something on Friday… dim sum Sunday (didn’t Swiddles mention something to that effect)…?

I don’t see why not ? It would be silly for all these people to travel from so far away for just a few hours wouldn’t it ? :smiley:
