**Eonwe** , it won’t work. I got over you after TorDope. So… shall I make dinner reservations for Friday at St-Hub and for Saturday at Reuben’s (the one near Peel)? I figure around 12 for Friday and around 20 for Saturday. ---

sounds good. I’ll try to leave Ottawa around 4:30pm on Friday, so with rish hour Friday traffic in both cities, say, 6:30 when I get there, maybe? OK… anyone needing a ride from in or around Ottawa, speak now or forever hold your piece. **eonwe** , email me soon so we can get this sorted out this weekend about travels. just so I can plan stuff with others meeting up for the trip back here. ---

(I meant piece, and not peace. It sounds naughtier that way. and the IS a dopefest planning thread). The other spelling errors were just me being stupid. ---

Yeah, just popping in to confirm that I cannot make it. Lousy guy in my new room ain’t starting to move until 4 PM on Friday, and I have to get all my stuff over there before saturday. ---

Update about the cemetery tour : apparently their regular (and only) guide is on maternity leave, they were supposed to call me back with an alternate guide that might be available, but so far no news. If there are changes I will post them as soon as I know them, but so far it looks like a no-go. OTOH, if it goes through, the tour is free but they suggest a donation since they’re a non-profit organization. ---

Thanks for doing that legwork, **detop**. Do you think going up the mountain on our own would be worthwhile? (There’s a bus that goes from Mt-Royal metro to the cemetery.) ---

so is it official for now? ST-Hubert at eight on friday night…what’s the address for it exactly? As to the list of dopers, you should add **Ragez0r** , my sweety… ---

OK… what do you suggest we do on Saturday afternoon, then? We could catch an IMAX show in the Old Port or something. **5U1C1D3** , the St-Hub in question is on the corner of Amherst & Ste-Catherine, metro Berri-UQAM. 8:30. Reservations haven’t been made yet, though. After that we’ll probably head to Drugstore to meet up with others, around 10 or so. ---

Here’s a [link to La Ronde](http://www.laronde.com/en/). You can check out the rides and prices there. (Admission with rides, after taxes, is $34.) They took the picture on the front page on a cloudy day in the spring, so there’s no leaves on the trees, and it looks cold and rainy. How depressing. Hopefully the sun will shine on Doperéal. ---

I just checked the Weather Channel, and it’s supposed to be in the 80s and low 90s, partly cloudy, with low chance of precipitation. Sunday and Monday are supposed to have chance of isolated thunderstorms with temps in the low 80s. Robin ---

As for the Saturday afternoon thingy, we could combine a walking tour of Old Montreal with IMAx perhaps ? ---

**detop** : It’s in between metros. Do you want to call for reservations? 286-9661. For 20, let’s say, 8:30 Friday, smoking. I have to stay online for something I’m downloading (I still have dial-up).
