Montreal!

NO I DID NOT BUT NOW I DO AND I WILL PROBABLY BE THERE I HOPE.

OSHEAGA i'm not sure about. it's a lot of people who are in montreal ALL THE TIME on their own for a lot of money, even if i like a lot of them and i wasn't earning money this summer really at all.

Mykki Blanco is at the royal phoenix tonight for 10$ though and that will be amazing and wonderful.

im going to osh on the saturday cuz my friends gave me ~backstage passes~ for their band and i want to eat all the catered food.

alex BE THERE tomorrow

Is someone here still looking for an apartment? I've got one I might let go, it's a cheap, one bedroom, et c'est dans le vrai cœur du Plateau.

oh my! maybe?, i'm looking, can i webmail you?

I miss mtl :(

man this might be something that's existed forever and i just discovered now but you guys NEED to go to theatre outremont's cinema screenings, just paid 7 bucks for 5 HOURS of roman polanski movies! and there is so much amazing shit coming up in the next few weeks: http://www.theatreoutremont.ca/fr/programmation/?prog_type=cinema&page_id=415 what a BEAUTIFUL SPACE, too!

yeah it's a lovely theatre. i noticed they have really good screenings this year! and it's v close to my house. but i haven't gone yet! busy times :/
might need to hit up the On the Waterfront/Rebel Without a Cause double-bill in sept

anyone know of any cool "cultural" (high-brow ish / [pseudo-]intellectual) stuff going on in the city right now? feeling the late-summer brain melt getting to me

well, this is kind of my job, knowing what's going on in arts, culture, etc etc
there's a production of Macbeth on right now at Theatre Nationale, for instance
pretty heady ryoji ikeda exhibition at DHC/ART, a art talk (mostly in french) at darling foundry tmrw eve, show at the MACM has some thought-provoking stuff too.
last weekend there was a full day of short orchestra performances at place des arts, but i don't know, most of august is usually about parties, shows and bbqs...

that's just off the top of my heat. there's a lot of stuff that could be sort of intellectual depending on how you look at it, e.g., that cool 360-degree film at SAT

gah i always mean to go to these... are they actually film?

or an acceptabel digital format?

ty so much for that link!, flopson. seeing old american films subtitled is gonna be super useful for me & the programme looks fun

xp i have no idea, if digital it was more than acceptable (to me) in fact very crisp

if it's like bluray i can deal, if its dvd i'll be sad :(

might have to just called the box office and see?

i was going to email the theater

because i'm very plugged in

be that guy

i am guessing not film tho, just because it seems like that would be a thing they'd prob say on the site?

the ones i saw were definitely not film

tarkovsky season! http://www.cinemaduparc.com/english/prochainemente.php?id=maitresrusses#top

also i live here now

buy some ontario peaches theyre really good rn

oh and welcome!

I hear people in Montreal eat gerbils.

that would be weird

welcome to the city!

omg I need to buy some peaches

I went to the maker faire thing this weekend, sort of part of experience mtl thing, out at Olympic stadium - fair was neat, nerdy DIY techy, interesting, but I can't get over the oppressive concrete environment out there, with the stadium looming over it all. it's no wonder the govt is trying to revive the area, since it's a large space near the botanical gardens, biodome, etc, but man if it is hardly a welcoming spot... Also I posted abt experience mtl on my fb and friends were like "what is this and how did I not know public enemy is coming to town?" In my mind, more proof that Anglo weeklies are important...

There were gerbil sandwiches there, I saw with my astral projection

I think you're thinking of south american guinea pig sandwiches

that's montevideo not montreal, I see where the mistake could be made

OH SNAO! You are right. I was thinkig of Don Matus

In my mind, more proof that Anglo weeklies are important...

No it's cool there are other ways to learn things like those really informative TVs in the metros where you totally look at the 95% of the screen that isn't the number of minutes until you can go home

(I joke but that's where I learned about the Ryoji Ikeda exhibition :/)

The only thing vaguely important or significant thing in the Mirror was the Rant Line. I don't disagree that we might need an anglo weekly, but it sure wasn't that piece of shit.

yes but u hate everything including seemingly life itself

life's the worst, imo

"u hate everything including seemingly life itself - THE MONTREAL THREAD"

lol

:D

you cheat yourself of everything that moves

The Mirror was a tired little cabal, the sort that produces nothing of value but still feels the right to be applauded for it. Appearing in print (on REAL PAPER) is not a virtue nor is evidence of quality

sick burn

oh wait you're that dude that hates everything and refuses to meet other montreal ilxors right

like you spent time clowning on people telling them not to practice their french because they will be the absolute worst people on the planet, no exaggeration
