Well, we’re two weeks away from our second annual Montreal Dopefest. The fun and frivolous festivities will start on Friday, August 15 and continue through the weekend. No firm itinerary yet; we can hammer it out in this thread.
For now, post if you plan on participating, and if you’re coming from elsewhere, when you’ll be arriving in town and how long you’re staying. (This last part is important to gauge the interest in a Friday and Sunday evening activities.)
Aside from restaurant-type activities, we’ve talked about:
[ul][li] going to Club Date for karaoke (OK, that was just me, but I’ve been wanting to do that at a 'fest since last year)[/li]
[li] going to an IMAX show in the Old Port (we could do this Friday evening if people are in town, and then go out for food & drinks)[/li]
[li] going on a cemetary tour (I confess: I haven’t looked into it, but there’s nothing stopping us from going up Mount Royal on our own - the view from the lookout is spectacular!)[/li]
[li] going to La Ronde on Sunday (keep in mind it’s $29 to get in with unlimited rides - maybe we can get a group rate if we book ahead)[/li]
[li] Eonwe and CuriousCanuck’s beer-tasting thing [/ul][/li]
Once we have a good idea of the numbers, I’ll make resto reservations and so forth.
Oh… I just posted to the other thread. I’m still looking into it, but so far it looks like I will be able to go. I’m mainly sorting out transportation and finances (I just bought my very first, real musical instrument since the days when I’d bang pots and pans together, so I’m financially destroyed right now.)
I have to consider getting myself to Montreal and decide whether or not to get my car out of storage.
As far as I know, I’ll be coming Friday and staying through Monday (if that’s all right with the evils). Also, I don’t think Airman will be able to make it, which means Aaron won’t be coming either.
Well, I might be able to make it. I have to move into my new room that weekend, but hopefully I can take friday off, and be able to do it then. It all depends on if the guy in the room now is out of there by friday morning so I can move my stuff in there in a few hours, then drive up to Canada (I’m near Albany, so it will be less than four hours, in theory.)
