We could see [Mysteries of Jupiter](http://www.planetarium.montreal.qc.ca/Planetarium/hor_droits_a.html) at the planetarium at 2:30 on Saturday. It’s $6.50 regular, $5.00 for students. It’s near Bonaventure metro. We can hit Old Montreal before or after. There’s also the Montreal Science Centre in the Old Port. The IMAX shows aren’t 3D, though. ---

Thanks **detop**! While you’re at it… (hehe) can you call Reuben’s? 866-1029. Ask to reserve the room in the back, for 8:30 Saturday, let’s say 25 people, smoking. Maybe they can do the tables in a big ‘U’ or something. 🙂 (I really, really hope they aren’t one of those stupid places that don’t take reservations.) Once we decide what we’re doing Saturday afternoon, and where we’re going to eat before La Ronde (Dagwood’s? something light!), we can post the itinerary! ---

I thought la Ronde _was_ the Saturday afternoon activity… If we do something Sat afternoon, then eat, then go to la Ronde, then out to dinner, well, it seems like an awful lot to squeeze in. IMHO of course. ---

La Ronde is Sunday. ---

I’ll be in town and will try for Reuben’s on Saturday night, no promises given my Dopefest history. Friday is Radiohead at Parc Jean Drapeau, no St-Hub for me. ---

Done for Reuben’s. Unfortunately, the room is non-smoker. I guess we’ll have to make do. It’s reserved under the name of Cecil Adams also. ---

Thanks **detop**. Those among us who I know smoke (besides you and me) are Jeremy, **Daerlyn** , **MsRobyn** , and sometimes **CuriousCanuck**. I’m sure we’ll be fine. It’s more important that we get that back room. 🙂 We just have to decide what we’re doing Saturday afternoon, and where we’re eating before La Ronde on Sunday, and we’re good to post the itinerary!! ---

Too bad we couldn’t go sugaring again. That was a blast. 🙂 SO MUCH MAPLE! “More maple, sir?” “Yes, please!” “More?” “Mmm hmm” _munch munch munch_ ---

If you’re really nice, **Canuck** , and not too hung over Sunday morning, maybe Jer will make you some pancakes. With maple syrup. Or maybe not. ---

I can live without cigarettes for one meal. 😃 Although I may dash early to make it to work on time. Or just suck up to my supervisor to let me come in late. Hmmmm . . . . Who wants to join me for breakfast at 8 am on Saturday or Sunday when I get off work? 😃 ---

Hiy’all, I think I’ll be able to make it for Saturday. I’m arriving on Friday, so I’ll most certainly be a dopey doper from the jetlag (14 hours, ay caramba!). Don’t mind me if I pass out in my smoke meat. It’s too bad, though, I really miss St-Hubert. ---

So glad you’ll be joining us, **jovan**!!! 🙂 I’m off to work. In the meantime, please discuss Saturday afternoon activities: Science Centre/IMAX, Planetarium, or walking up Mount Royal… or anything else. 😉 ---

**NNNNNNNNNNOoOoOoOoOoOoOo!!!** :mad: _bangs head on desk_ \<\\> **I can’t goooooo!** \<\\> See? See? I _told_ you! “As long as I never say _‘yes, I’m going’_, I’ll be fine.” I said that. Yes, I did. I said that! And what did I do? I said “I’ll be coming, just gotta sort out finances and transportation…” Why? Why’d I do dat??? WHY??? \<\\> Every friggin’ time I wanna go to Montreal this happens! We have visitors coming in from Vancouver. Sniffs\_Markers ex :eek: and assorted folks. We have to sort out accomodations for them because they’ll have to crash here and there and then we’ll have to deal with FatCat (who loves to flush the toilet when there are visitors – unfortunately he does so throughout the night keeping everyone up.) ☹ I wanna go to Montreal! I wanna go to Doperéal! **WAAAAAAAAAAAH!** I’ll still try to make it! Really, I’ll try! ---

Aaack! I can’t go! There’s something else going on this weekend: the Esperanto-Rondo de Toronto is having its annual summer picnic! And in a horrible irony, two friends and myself are planning to visit Montréal on holiday …in _September_. Wanna see the Metro wannaseetheMetro wannaseetheMetrowannaseetheMetro… [sub]I’ll be okay…[/sub] ---
