Montreal Get Together

[75D]

There has been some discussion in the Urban Life section about a little get together once the weather gets warmer.
Some suggestions have been:

Morgan Aboretum

China Town

Old Montreal

Any other suggestions?

Any suggestions for dates?

Yep, and let's keep this one alive.

No dates yet, but maybe we should look at april or may for some better weather for an outside gathering? Maybe we could also go to the Jardin Botanique.

[memorex88]

I'm still in! Botanical gardens sounds good too.
Old Montreal seems a good place to start. If I could suggest, there is a coffee shop right at the corner of Rue Bonsecours and Rue St-Paul Est that would make a good little meeting spot.

Now if we could only get rid of winter out there :(

[popolz]

Winter? uh? where? :lol:

!()@*%!(@% snow :mad:

a meet somewhere mid-April would be nice! It's warmer and less chances of snow.

[Olyst]

Ok, let's try that:

April 15, 9h30 am, at the café memorex88 mentionned! It's a sunday... What do guys (or gals, if any :-) ) think?

[memorex88]

Sounds great!

[popolz]

no can do on the 15th...

Family day at a "Cabane à sucre" (sugar shack I think in English) in Victoriaville

What about Saturday April 14, 9h30 am?

[popolz]

Nothing planned for the 14th as far as I can remember.

[Olyst]

I'm in for the 14th as well! Nothing so far on my schedule.

Let's see if Wayne (75D) can make it too!

You are correct, it is the right translation.

[75D]

Looks good for me so far. Having the kitchen re-done and I hope it will be finished by then.

Wayne

[75D]

Polish your cameras, charge your batteries and empty your CF cards the day of the Montreal Get Together is fast approaching.:D
Saturday April 14th corner of Bonsecours and St Paul I will post a picture of the Cafe where we will meet over the weekend.
Looking forward to meetin everyone.

Wayne

[memorex88]

Let's just hope for nice weather!

[75D]

If you look at the long range forecast it shows partly cloudy, with a high of 41F and 10% chance of precipitation. It appears to be the best day of the week.
Was going to go out early this morning and take a shot of the cafe but the snow turned me off.
Talked to my brother and he tells me they have had a foot of snow in the Eastern Townships.
Didn't anyone tell the man up stairs it's Spring.

Wayne

[75D]

Went down to Old Montreal yesterday morning and took a shot of where will be meeting. With the weather we have been having the Heated Terace might come in handy.

O.K. don't let the snow scare you, it is supposed to be Sunny with Cloudy periods and a high of 10C on Saturday so we should have a good day.

Saturday 9:30 A.M corner of Bonsecours and St Paul.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. :D

Wayne

[popolz]

I don't know if I'll be able to make it Saturday :(

Maybe my mother will get to my place Friday night instead of Saturday night.

[75D]

Hope you can make it Alex, but Mom's come first.

If not this time maybe the next one.

Wayne

[Olyst]

Well, I won't be able to make it! :-( We had to re-scheduled the swimming course for our oldest one... Anyhow, I'll make any effort to attend the next one!

[75D]

Sorry you can't make it but Family comes first.
Just checked the weather and it doesn'y look too good, 40% chance of rainand a high of 8 light winds.
Question for Marco and Alex, do we postpone and set something for later??

Wayne

[popolz]

I guess we can postpone the meet... we'll have a warmer day.

The weather sucks big time lately and my car is already on summer tires :o :(

edit: and I still don't know if my mother will get here tonight or tomorrow.

[75D]

O.K I guess we'll postpone untill another time, sure hope spring gets here soon.
Took me 1 1/2 hrs to get home last night.

Any suggestions for another date??

Wayne

[popolz]

Yeah yesterday was pretty bad... I'm glad I only have to ride the Metro and Bus (or walk) to go to work.

how about May 5th?

[75D]

I think I'm going to invest in a rubber dingy, there is soooooo much water on the streets today.

May 5th is good with me, we should have a half decent day by then.

How about the rest of you guys??

Wayne

[Olyst]

Just being told today that I have a meeting out of town on the may 5th week end...thanks to my new interim position :-(
