Montreal, who wants a visit?

slightly too bad about the timing though as i am doing a party on april 22 & may 5!

Dumb question, but do I need to bring my passport? I never had a passport when I visited Canada as a kid, but the most recent time was in 1994 -- so it wouldn't surprised me if they'd changed the rules.

(which is in TO, i'll be away for a couple days while you're here. but i will see about other cool stuff going on!)

Visas are not required for U.S. citizens entering Canada from the U.S. You will, however, need:

Proof of your U.S. citizenship such as your U.S. passport (For information on obtaining a U.S. passport, check with one of the regional passport agencies located throughout the U.S.) or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the city, county or state in the U.S. where you were born. If you are a naturalized U.S. citizen and do not have a passport, you should travel with your naturalization certificate. A driver’s license, voter’s registration card or Social Security card is NOT valid proof of citizenship.
Photo identification, such as a current, valid driver’s license.

Passports required on December 31, 2006 for Air Travel, December 31, 2007 for land travel.

I think I'm DJing November 3rd at Academy with the Attitude City people. I will play some of Le Gay French Canadian Disco, as well as my usual stuff.

why do i have to be leaving the city this weekend for WANKS giving :(

awesome!

Whoa I missed that vernissage poster before, I will try to make it though!

totally do

i got all overwhelmed by transcendental patti smith show - made me spontaneously break into tears even. true it has been a hectic week but whoa. it was freakin great and inspiring and life-affirming.
but yeah couldn't make it to reggae after that. us girls managed to make it to my place, smoke a bowl, read some magazines and chat. lol.

black mountain tonight vancouver reprasent and all that

i feel like pop mtl for me this year is all about certain sounds/bands/people of the early 70s and the early 90s and i am all ok with that

you guys should go see Aa tonight!!!

hey y'know i might just do that! drummmming.
there is also this band called Health that are on before them (at 7pm, ooh earllyy) and they are using the word 'kraut-wave' to describe them and i am a sucker for that made-up word. the other show i am going to doesn't start until 9 anyway. musics.

o man jamaica2tdizzy was soooooo sooooooo good. fuck those guys still got it. had the whole room dancing, singing in the crowd, just fuckin amazing vibes all over. then went straight down to bun b who was great. then weird nxne party with lots of free food and booze. then home. then sleep. then i woke up had breakfast bought a hoodie.

also today is the day when we're all supposed to wear red to support burma protests and the only red thing i have for this kind of in-btwn weather is my white mice t-shirt. which i think is probably the best kind of red thing to wear today and to shows and whatever even if it wasn't a peace-initiative red-wearing day.
xpost

OHMAAAAAAANNN
i'm glad to hear it was good though
and that you bought a hoodie
total hoodie day

oops i thought that was yesterday :/ and i wore red

maybe it is all the days of this wkend

well that was fun

thanks tza for encouraging me to go to Aa show even though Aa didn't come on until like 11:45! it was supposed to be an 'early show' and that happened yeah but with the other bands and then there was a long break b/c Aa got lost in the wilds of NY i guess haha. they were great though, whoa. as was Health, yip yip and, believe it, aids wolf. i don't care what anyone says about them; aids wolf ruled tonight. all in all, totally good bunch of bands. then i made it to black mountain just in time and it was sweet.
i had beer for dinner. uh.
i had a bagel 10 min ago though.
montreal.

hung out at home till 11pm then went to fred wesley house party (awesome fun) then to dj/rupture, total drunk dance party, then down to the megas0id loft party. left around 4am before i could do anything id regret. wandered streets of old mtl looking for bank machine. fell asleep in cab on way home. i cant feel my face.

hahaow
i just saw eric's trip
it was awesome

it is getting cold out!

i didnt make it out for sunday shows/closing parties. there's only so much a man can do.

i should go to mtl some day.

so true
i am headed for a crash so soon

haha after eric's trip show, outside ukr fed quiet-neighbourhood venue:
organizers/volunteers all "okay everyone has to be quiet and leave please! thanks!"
everyone fairly quickly disperses
us telling jokes after totally being part of dispersement (ironically enough one of the people telling evryone to go is a neighbour of friends and is always being loud at like 5am on like a tuesday). but yeah, jokes:
q: how to you get a group of canadians to get out of a crowded swimming pool in july?
a: could everyone please get out of the swimming pool, please? thanks!

xpost
yes
obv

was the uk fed crazy hot and humid tongiht

further away now. ;_;

ohwow where are you now though? you decided on a place to be/live?

xpost - uk fed was soooo sweaty omg sauna i have no idea how anyone could've been up in the balcony either
and then all the sweat evaporated instantly once outside
still, so good

h, rent a car and go! my friends left mtl last night, drove to cleveland, stopped for 3 hours to play a show, jumped back in the van and made it to my doorstep at 6 a.m., 12 hours after they left.

october, underrated month to visit

haha très true. halloween.

what about november?

also very underrated.

sorry I didn't whatever, but i had lots and lots of nothing to do. mmmmmmmmmmmmontreal. fuck man, vancouver seemed SO ugly and awful on Sunday and I didn't wanna be here (and kinda still don't).
yeah, October in Mtl, fucking gorgeous. mostly i ate and ate and ate and drank allonges (cuz I don't know how to order one in English, and so it had been NINE YEARS) and walked forever (skytrain>metro, sorry). also, there's a biodome AND a biosphere, and I went to the one W/O penguins, which I was TOTALLY CHEESED OFF ABOUT.

I am here from Sunday, for ten days.

Are there happenings?

where did you hang dr superman?

i can't help re: stuff going on this week, because i plan to just play lots of video games (cursed holiday season!), but hallowe'ekend should be fun. will it be the weekend in October or November? Or both? I need a costume. And to know where to wear it.

Hey s1ocki your vernissage was very cool! your photos are beautiful. where did you take that tennis court picture? I thought I recognized it...

I didn't get a chance to eat any of the cakes, were they as incredible as I was told they'd be?

you were there??

you shoulda said hi!!

or maybe you did, i was pretty drunk. did you?

(the tennis court pic was taken at esplanade & mont-royal)

and the cakes were awes. if you are interested in trying them or delicious cupcakes go to my friend's bakery at parc just above villeneuve.

omg you are friends with miss cocoa locale? pls be signing me up on her cake mailing list.

yes!

I would've said hi, but I am shy + you were talking to lots of people! Also I wasn't sure what to say "Hey you're s1ocki right? I'm Will. You know, from the internet. I heard you like Zelda. I like your pictures. Sorry I didn't come to Bun B. Man, is it hot in here?"

But yeah... I got in some trouble because I didn't bring cakes home, haha. Also, I was like "I don't even know what dude looks like" and my roommate showed me the DS review video!!!!

lol!!

i am a beardo now.

i am just happy you came!

Haha you are a beardo now! Me too sort of. Except it's more like a teenbeard. And by "more" I mean... ENTIRELY a teenbeard. Was Antexit also there? I actually have no idea who he is IRL, for all I know he could actually be Raël.

he is a tall handsome man... who wasn't there wtf?!? i must have words.

so there dude!!

great

if you need any advice on poutine/smoked meat/etc matters, lemme know

where are you staying?

boo. why can't this be next weekend!

next weekend I'm djing at 200 Orchard.

What is Poutine's relationship to Disco Fries?

We are staying at some cute place my mom said we had to stay in because it's so nice. It's in the old section or something.

poutine : disco fries :: aged cheddar : kraft singles

Were disco fries invented by french-canadian dancers after a night at Studio 54? They go to the local greek diner and ask for poutine?

disco fries are so nasty. i have high hopes for poutine, howevever (esp. the kind topped w/ foie gras).
