this is on my to-do list:-eat well-see art-go dancing (stuff with breakbeats and deep bass, dancey rock, hip hop, disco, cheesey eurodance, new wave, electro, minimal techno or certian kinds of house will do me right)-hear music-people-watch (cute boys a plus)-meet nice people-attempt to speak french
thanks for the help!

UÉBECreminds me of this time a friend of mine (born and bred in mtl) and i were looking at old mtl from a weird vantage point in downtown, you know, one of those angles that rearranges part of the city and your perspective on it, and he pointed at the name/sign on a building and said "Uebecor?? what?" and i said "dude, where do we live? there is a giant yellow Q there too." and then we laughed.
the superblast party was fun - dancing yaay!

If I am to be spending the next 5 weeks there, I would at least like to be informed as to where the hell I can find a good burrito. I've had no luck in all my past experiences.
― mehlt, Saturday, 5 July 2008 02:41 (fifteen years ago) link
why wld you want to eat a burrito here??
― rrrobyn, Saturday, 5 July 2008 03:32 (fifteen years ago) link
just OD on burritos before arriving so you can focus on eating like everything else
i've heard it's fun to do coke in montreal
― Surmounter, Saturday, 5 July 2008 03:33 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah NOT a good place for burritos. But get thee to La Banquise for some poutine. I've never had a burrito that could match the splendor that is Poutine Trois Viandes.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Saturday, 5 July 2008 05:33 (fifteen years ago) link

i can't recommend this highly enough:
http://www.dansedanse.net/DDA_0809/en/cies/toneelhuis.html
i saw it in Glasgow earlier in the year and loved it so much i went to see it again the following night. it's easily my cultural highlight of this year and, no exaggeration, one of the greatest things i have ever seen in any medium.
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui is one of the key innovators in dance-theatre and i've seen enough good and bad work in this area to know he's the real deal.
please go if you can - i'm already planning a trip to Belgium in May next year the main purpose of which is to make sure i see the follow up, "Origine".

see you there, dude!i hear it's awesome - looking forward to seeing a big dance production, as i haven't seen one in a long time.
(being media is kinda rough in pacing but i dig the occasional perks - i gotta get into asking for more media passes/free tickets tho. i have been busy. les grands ballets' queen of spades is supposed to be pretty great, big-budget production stuff)
― terminator boyfriend (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 8 October 2008 18:04 (fifteen years ago) link
oh cool when does that open? i wanna go!
perks rule
― s1ocki, Wednesday, 8 October 2008 18:06 (fifteen years ago) link
starts on the 16th
perks do rule, esp as a counter to the billion emails i sort through every day. am getting used to the volume tho, somehow, as if it's feeding me and i am slowly turning into some arts superhero with, like, laser-eyes editing poweroh lolz
― terminator boyfriend (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 8 October 2008 19:02 (fifteen years ago) link
it's just relentlessly inventive and surprising. it starts off so silly, in a way, that its progression into something genuinely moving and (yes) profound is all the more devastating. it has a lot in common with those multi level computer games and also with japanses anime films. ironically, i have no interest in the former and actively dislike what i have seen of the latter.
the main reason it is so great is because the choreography and the performances are genuinely, thrillingly (*_*) !

cool bars or cheap interesting restaurants
what kind of food are you looking for? local-style cuisine that isn't poutine? (which, re: poutine - la banquise, but only after you have had a LOT to drink. that shit is absorbant.)
re: bars - are you looking for a microbrewery? something sketchy and sleazy and hidden away? alcoholically, i've been rediscovering the distillery lately, which is often supercrowded but serves colourful drinks in GIGANTIC mason jars.
(thinking it over, my standard haunts aren't places i would recommend to people as "the best that montreal has to offer" - they're just convenient, or socially convenient. hmm.)
― Alex in Montreal, Thursday, 22 April 2010 22:01 (fourteen years ago) link
"cool cheap restaurants": faux pulled-pork at Le Pick-Up, burger at the Sparrow (lunch only), pain perdu at Lemeac (not cheap - but this is the city's single best $10 dessert omg), DUMPLINGS! at Qin Hua, portuguese chicken at Romodos, pain perdu brunch at Chien Fumant [also not super cheap], ICE CREAM at Bilboquet or Havre Aux Glaces)...
and pastries pastries pastries(eg: kouign d'amman at Kouign D'Amman, hot sesame bagel (no topping required) at St-Viateur Bagel, olive fougasse and canelés at Mamie Clafoutis, brownie at Olive & Gourmando, butter croissant from Paltoquet, and on and on)
