Montreal!

everyday I have the 2 degrees blues

why am i so annoyed by the whole food truck thing here

except for the really good coffee truck, that can stay

which is the good coffee truck? on parc?

food trucks in montreal seem kinda potemkin to me

they're doing it wrong.

(the food truck thing)

basically you can only get a food truck in this city if you already own a restaurant and you promise to put $9 pulled pork sandwiches on the menu.

Most pulled pork sandwiches cost $9 already. The food truck version would be a pulled pork banh mi slider.

Thinking it's time I come back the next month or so.

With Mutek and Suoni Per Il Popolo, should I consider moving to Mtl for end of May/June?

do it! feel like you're simultaneously more & less eligible for the thrill of seeing los angeles plays itself at the cinematheque in a couple weeks but come anyway. montreal is in #full #spring.

also admrl come before i leave montreal forever, soon

yesssssss

whats your deal as of sept adam?

deal as in...?

I will come soon, maybe even in a few weeks. I think Mtl is by far and away my favorite East Coast city, if you even consider it that

Oh I am staying put where I am now, if that's what you mean. I'm in this for the long(er) haul.

I'll be in yr city for a week starting the 26th

my favorite East Coast city, if you even consider it that

if philadelphia can be considered "on the coast," then why not Montreal?

also, i agree.

well finally we agree on something

reject your tar sands oil

ams you need to come visit again too.

i might, next march. we'll see.

s1ocki, feel free to email me

i've actually met both of you! a rare moment on ilx for me.

Mutek is going to be great! So much good stuff this year. plus a lot of it is at the contemporary art museum, which will make an interesting difference of some sort, who knows. and there's a bunch of free outdoor stuff that is pretty cool and weird, so we get to see baffled looks on random tourists' faces.

Yeah!

So I think I'll come up in a couple of weeks. Time to play the hotel/airbnb game again.

shweet

just don't come between june 7-11

p.s. mh, we will obv hang out, whether admrl decides to visit or not ;)

yaay admrl!

hi

Hi mh!

Omg I forgot PA was opening new location today! It feels so much closer to my house even tho the difference is, seriously, a block.

where is the new one?

i cant handle this

it's amazing
almost a carnival atmosphere
in spite of a resounding zero tie-in celebratory deals
actually maybe premiere maison baguettes are 2/$3
but yeah wild times

will it's on parc at fairmount, across the street. whenever i see stores w/francophone mention of TAPIS i always think TAPIRS, & it's next to a tapir store, go grocery shopping & grab a capybara on yr way out

i got a free shot of sambuca so

what is PA and do they have any sambuca left

it is a store full of food! and now apparently sambuca sometimes

only in montreal does a store open or move and the management is like "booze for everyone!!" e.g., they were giving away samples of sapporo beer at the renovated loblaws in parc-ex the other day)

I have names heard that were dropped over dinner I am going to have to run past you guys later to see what credibility level things clock at

I went to Atom Heart (I know, music on physical media, lol me) on the way out of town and wanted to buy an album but they only had the promo listening station copy left, so they gave it to me for free! Buy something there.

mmttllblog.wordpress.com is my favourite thing atm

this place gave me a parking ticket, should i pay it?

the city really needs the money, so it would be nice if you did

1/3 of it will just fund the lavish suburban homes of extended Calabrian or Sicilian families. Don't pay it.

well i'm less interested in the moral implications than i am in the legal ones

ach, rip backroom records

aw that's too bad

Its been sever hours and thirteen days

sicne you took yoru love away

hi mtl I will be back in yr city in approximately one month
mmttllblog.wordpress.com will be my guide

you cannot go wrong with it as your guide! make sure you try EVERY hot dog on their list of best hot dogs (belle province, belle province, belle province...)
