Montreal!

I guess I could plan a trip myself, someday, instead of sending Mr. Green

You have no need for worry - I do not travel. Ever.

Montreal all is probably not that far from you!

err no "all"

Montreal-all is what we call the city as a whole

it's like "galactica actual" on BSG

s1ocki recommend to me brunch places near mile end

other people can recommend places too but i want that gourmand seal of approval

Boston -all includes Newton I guess and Peabody - seems like some sort of linux command with a dash liek that

ipconfig -all

it's ifconfig on linux

really? shit I suck at linux! The Official Distro of Montreal is Eggplantware

lol galactica montreal actual

"Actors Dirk Benedict (as fighter pilot Starbuck) and Bobby Van (as Hector, the android), traveled to Montreal for these scenes. Benedict has been quoted as saying it was an uncomfortable experience - not all that surprising in that the scenes were shot in winter in buildings that had not been heated in years."

plus he was with an Eggplant man

yeah perhaps in order to post itt, one has to at least have an intention of visiting Montreal in the near future, give or take a year. we will soon grow tired of yr wistfulness for what we got. we all know that all this eggplant talk is but a thin veneer.

Did anyone ever see that Altman movie shot in some place related to Expo 67 -- maybe Habitat, maybe something else... was it called Quintet? That looked COLD

Is that why6 the baseball team was called the expos? Tim Raines> ( NOt Gaines)

i had to watch Quintet in an undergrad film class for a section about auteurs
it's a pretty boring movie! or at least it was to 20-yr-old me

You are wiser now - and taking it all in - the sights, the sounds...you still remember your earlier trembling moments. Now you are the Regis. Meanwhile, I am still the fool, fallin gover in tide pools

yep, expos named after the 67 expo. i don't think i finished watched quintet afaik. pretty cool buildings tho.

man i was jsut thinknig about mile end brunches and realized i probably havent had a nice civil mile end sunday brunch in like a year, only st-henri janko brunches at greenspot etc.

i think senzala closed? i kinda remember sparrow's brunch being good. does lawrence or lemeac or one of those places that start with an L have a brunch?

i'm so shitty @ being from this city

Will M please love yoruself despite yoru failings.

anyway if a movie is boring just skip ahead - thta's what I do when I watch Dark SHadows - I love it but its the most boring show ever

many of these posts lack brunch recommendations i have noticed

cafe cherrier on cherrier/st-denis is p great brunch spot

ah, brunch... i used to eschew it but i'm getting over that. i guess it depends on what you're looking for - i tend to go middle-of-the-road, not a straight-up diner but not a gourmet place either. and i like a certain comfy and not-too-loud environment. that said, i don't go out for brunch very often, so...
in mile-end-ish:

i like
cafe souvenir on bernard, esp because terrasse
velo cafe on beaubien
boite gourmand on laurier

and screw it, i will plug the site i write for: http://www.tourisme-montreal.org/blog/where-to-eat/the-mile-ends-best-brunches/

i used to get tuna sandwiches from le cartet for lunch

lamp i recommend:

lawrence (a bit $$ but hella worth it... also usually a bit of a wait... BUT WORTH IT)
lemeac (same except for the wait)
vieux velo (cheaper, chiller, dece eggs benny...not crazy great but nice)
beautys (classic)

that was designed to make you laff robyn

i keep forgetting to bump this thread but a couple of things made me think of it:

have you all seen the first issue of CULT, which afaik is the autonomously published new magazine by ex-Mirror staff?

& also, ty for the recommendations for Montreal stuff to do. Jean Talon was rad, & I came back with vegetables in colourways I hadn't seen before, & the falafel at green dragon is real nice. I could do without the gherkin but yeah real good.

green panther! though they should open another location called green dragon for real

i was in the states for a few days and came back today to extended summer and so got on my bike to go have beers on a terrasse. oh extended summer.

totally doing Pop Montreal this week!

free shows in places like the park off St-Laurent in Little Italy

green panther! though they should open another location called green dragon for real

ha yes. thanks. no it was good, i got it to take out & was worried as soon as i remembered all other instances in which i've tried to eat something coated in tahini sauce while on the move, but it was v neat. i wish that more places did the thing where they smash the falafel up a bit before including - this is a falafel sandwich protip imo - but yeah i dug it, i should try their other stuff. i have to try the crazy cheap downtown place w/$2 falafel & soup next.

the weather is so so nice at the moment.

i'm trying to get to dam funk on wednesday, i have no idea how free-pop-mtl-shows work though, like with things like this i assume i will intend to go & then that the event will be populated by just everyone who had their shit more together than i did.

little italy is cute btw. wanna go sit in a café there & pretend to be italian sometime.

so happy to be back home

Even tho it is crazy raining today! That's love.

the weather is so so nice at the moment.

see you later, errands

im staying in tonight playing board games and making carnitas, i welcome the rain

yeah i picked the best possible day for the ps3 i ordered on the internet to show up (assuming it doesn't show up during the 30m my roommate isn't home today) (that's going to happen isn't it)

ime yes

well the good news is i got home before my package did, bad news is it's 6:30pm and it is "guaranteed" to be here "today," gdi what is going on cpost

this is obv not super necessary super enjoyable but it looks really good; think i will prob try to see shoah? & hotel terminus & the ophuls/godard thing?
http://www.cinemaduparc.com/english/prochainemente.php

also psyched for the william klein season ft. william klein

whoa

yeah. but wait that godard thing is like a zillion hours long, & hilariously is a double feature. i think shoah will be my marathon thing, provided i can squeeze it in. CDP programming so good so far.

guys i think i have a cold, this is a bummer / kinda relieved to have an excuse not to go to pop mtl things

I saw you from across the room at pop opening party but was in conversation and missed you. Tell cold to go away so you can at least come late-night dancing.

Or tomorrow: jacob lusk R Kelly all stars thing at sala, whoaa

sigh

too much

too festivaled out from tiff

i dont knowwwww
