Montreal Meet Oct '09 by CookieRevised on 10-01-2009 at 12:16 PM

I know this is on short notice and maybe a bit too soon after the Toronto meeting last August, but some Dutch speaking peeps are going to Montreal (Canada) in Octobre.

So, if you ever wanted to meet Sunshine, Menthix or me, this is your chance :D

We will be in Montreal for a short time in the week from the 18th till the 24th of October.

So, if you want to have a chat, a quick drink or something, let us know and we could maybe work something out! Or we could meet in a place closer to you (but that's a maybe)...

And since Patchou lives there, he might be coming too :zippy:



;)

What city :p

I most likely cannot come, but Ottawa is only 2 hours away from Montreal!1111


RE: Quebec Meet Oct'09 by Discrate on 10-01-2009 at 12:40 PM

Didn't you guys just have a meet lol?


RE: Quebec Meet Oct'09 by Joa on 10-01-2009 at 12:42 PM

I won't be able to come for sure :(. If it was in Toronto, then I would be there 100% (A)...
Or better yet, why don't you guys visit Kitchener? It may be a boring place with nothing to do, but hey we could sit around on the curb and look at cars passing by 8-)

Aww... I hope you all have fun though!

But not with us :p

And _if_ we would take a car (or other transport), what would possible? (half a day driving is probably not doable timewise though, although I wouldn't mind)
RE: Quebec Meet Oct'09 by segosa on 10-01-2009 at 02:24 PM

What are you guys going for? Holiday?

Mostly to meet up with Patchou (and hopefully others? hence this thread), and finaly see his home town :p.  For me it would be a welcome rare break from work though, so yeah, the only time I could get free (this and maybe a week in Februari to Bellevue, WA, who knows).

RE: Quebec Meet Oct'09 by wacky on 10-01-2009 at 06:36 PM

YES YES YES YES YES YES AND YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!! :gfdrin:


I'm sooooo happy!!!! :gfdrin: I WILL BE THERE! Almost every day if you want!!! (just not during the day because of College)

If Ottawa is in mind, I can drive. I have room for 5 (including me). Just a bit of help with gas would be nice. Ottawa is the capital of Canada so there are things to visit. It would have to be on the Friday the 23rd though (because of school, obviously) but I finish early. (sorry Joa, if I could drive all the way to Kitchener, I would :sad:)


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by albert on 10-02-2009 at 12:41 AM

I'm down to meet the almighty oreo!
Count me in.


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by TReKiE on 10-02-2009 at 12:53 AM

I suppose I will have to come :P

Better brush up on my French.

RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by Lou on 10-02-2009 at 01:06 AM

You know, if only you were there for an entire weekend, I'd probably go:P. But if you make a trip to ottawa friday, saturday, or sunday (actually, I'm available tuesdays too) then I'm meeting up :P

it would likely have to be on the Friday since they'll be arriving on a Sunday and leaving on the next Saturday. I'd only be able to drive on the Friday as well but I do think it could be fun to go to Ottawa :happy: but where can I park for free ?

You know ottawa wouldn't be such a bad idea, I'm down to drive also. If the visitors feel like it, let me know, I might be able to move things around a little bit.
RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by MeEtc on 10-02-2009 at 03:21 AM

If I had more notice I would be interested in going. Bank account is running a bit empty after the last trip too. I'll have to pass this one. Maybe something next year.

RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by CookieRevised on 10-05-2009 at 11:19 PM

Small update:

We are up for a meeting during the week at the evenings in Montreal.
Sunshine en Menthix are leaving for Niagra via Toronto on Friday (they will be in Toronto on Saterday if all things go well).

Since I can't join them (I leave on Saterday :() I am 'free' at Friday, so maybe I could go to Ottowa for the evening (fancy a drive Wacky?)....

great :happy: I'll know by the end of next week when I'll be available during the weekday evenings. Hopefully I won't be filled with homework. As for the Friday, sounds great :happy: maybe albert would like to join us? and Patchou? :happy:

Well, if you're in ottawa on the Friday night, chances are high that I'll go at least for a bit :).
RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by wacky on 10-07-2009 at 11:36 PM

I'm not that familiar with Ottawa though.. would the ones from that area be able to give suggestions as to where we should go and what we should do?

Google Locations on android is the key!
Gives you activities around where you are, including bars clubs, restaurants, casinos etc.
RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by wacky on 10-16-2009 at 06:21 PM

so what are the plans for during the week? :P


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by CookieRevised on 10-16-2009 at 08:19 PM

Well, since there seem to be some people who want to meet us (and vice versa). The plan is to have a kind of diner meeting in Montreal. Sunshine, Menthix, Patchou and me will be attending for sure.

The time and date hasn't been set yet though, but it will be sometime between monday and thursday*. A more precise time/date will probably depend on when the people who are up for a meet are able to attend.

The later in the week the more chance there is to get a good reservation I guess, no? Anyways, tell us when you're able to attend and we'll see what we can do.

* Doesn't mean other people couldn't get in touch with for example Sunshine and Menthix in Toronto or Niagra or whatever in the weekend of course...


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by albert on 10-17-2009 at 02:49 PM

Scores is the tradition as far as plus! meets go.. lol.

You guys let me know, I'll check my schedule. Best would be on Monday or Friday for me (else I'm working form 8h30am to 10h30pm) so it's a little hard.


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by CookieRevised on 10-17-2009 at 10:32 PM

Ow.... hmmm, if it would be possible to crash in at the same day of reservations then it might be ok for us I guess... (Do you need to make a reservation at Scores actually?)

Though, it also wouldn't give other people much time to react, so how can we know for how many people we need to make a reservation?

Friday evening wouldn't be possible for all of us (Sunshine and Menthix wouldn't be able to attend then).

So, for now, monday evening at Scores it is then?


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by wacky on 10-18-2009 at 12:04 AM

I wouldn't be able to attend Monday or Wednesday :sad: Tuesday or Thursday would be best for me.. If it must be Monday, I can TRY to make it but I'm already supposed to have a dinner that evening


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by CookieRevised on 10-18-2009 at 12:45 AM

:'(

dinner on two days? :undecided:

I'll talk to Sunshine, Menthix and Patchou about it....

When would other people be able to attend?

Honestly, you guys should set a date and then let me know.. Working 65+ hours a week makes it extremely difficult for me even on the days I mentioned. Just figure out something that fits  you and I'll try to make it.

are there any other people who would attend in Montreal? :chrongue:

and ya.. I'm supposed to have dinner with my brother. We haven't eaten together in years. I would perhaps be able to move it to Tuesday if necessary
RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by CookieRevised on 10-19-2009 at 05:02 AM

Ok, so... we are all at Montreal now (just had a drink and a salad... waited a loooooooong time for it (they had to grow it first)), after immigration held Sunshine and Menthix hostage for an hour...

The plan is somewhat like this (although we didn't consulted with Patchou yet, but we'll drag him into it no matter what anyways :p... more on that monday during the day I hope):

Since we'll need to eat each day anyways, I suppose every evening can be possible.

So, to start, I suggest we have a dinner on monday at Scores, so at least Albert can come (unless he can make it on another evening too, tuesday?, all fine with us).

If Wacky is able to attend too, great. But, Wacky, the choice is up to you. Personally, I wouldn't want you to move the dinner with your brother though, there are other evenings too for us to meet. And till now I don't have much plans for friday (but a drive to Ottowa to meet with Lou, Sam sounds great. Gas payed of course). But that would be without Sunshine and Menthix as they have other plans on friday and the weekend...

So, if you also want to meet Menthix and Sunshine (of course you do :p), you'd choose the evening, whatever fits best for you...

@Trekkie, (and others): when are you coming?

I think I could make it. Since it's this evening, I need to know as soon as possible. I'll move my dinner with my brother to tomorrow. As for friday, I'm still up for it. I think it would be fun :happy:

RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by albert on 10-19-2009 at 03:38 PM

You guys have to let me know for the ottawa trip, i might be able to make it.


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by CookieRevised on 10-19-2009 at 04:22 PM

Ok, so for this evening (monday) lets have a dinner at Scores at 20:15.


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by wacky on 10-19-2009 at 06:56 PM

ummm which one? :P and is albert even coming? *-)


RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by CookieRevised on 10-19-2009 at 07:07 PM

RE: Montreal Meet Oct '09 by Sunshine on 10-28-2009 at 03:14 PM

I very much enjoyed the Montreal Meet, though not able to join the fishing one...looks like it was fun. However MenthiX and me did have loads of fun too in our ongoing trip to Niagara falls via Toronto (no meets with others there, soz..lack of time etc.)

First night in Toronto was wet (was even on local news that it was unusaually wet, with trafic jams an all) so we stayed in mostly (Strathcona Hotel) and had an early night. Saturday we left by train for Niagara Falls at 8.30 so a good nights sleep was a good idea anyway.

Saturday, on we went to Niagara Falls. Arrived at 10:33. After dropping off our luggage at the Marriot Fallsview hotel (they stored it for us, as you can nog go into your room before 3 pm) we went out and took the scenic walk....long long walk it was. On the way we went on "Maid of the Mist" the lil boat that brings you real close to the falls, like in the smack middle of it. Was pretty impressive, after going through a wall of rain (mist) you get too the middle where above us we saw the sun come through the clouds. On we walked to Table Rock where the Welcome Center was...we decided not to walk long way round anymore to get to the hotel so we took the Incline Railway right up to where our Hotel was. In the evening we went for a lil stroll again then it was time  to get some sleep. On Sunday morning we did "Journey behind the Falls", yea yea more wetness and pictures of course, and managed to squeeze in a visit to the IMAX too to see the Niagara Falls movie. Then we had to catch our train again back to Toronto.

After checking into our Hotel (Radisson Admiral), located at the waterfront, we walked to CN Tower, which really was only like a 5 to 10 mins walk away from our hotel. We took the full package so we took "the ride", then upto the first viewing level by elevator that goes on outside of the tower with views outside :O. At the first viewing level outside part we ware caged in, so taking pictures was hard but hey we got some. Then to the glass floor, where you could see all the way down standing on glass tiles. Then we accidently took elevator down instead of up to the Skypod. Since we had to do Cinema too, last was at 20:30, we decided to do that first. Then we went back up, which they allowed after MenthiX explained we forgot Skypod and wanted to go upthere now (they didn't ask me..lol). After that we looked for some place to eat and that was it for the night really. Next morning our train went back to Montreal at 9:30, arriving at 14:30. There met up with Patchou again to go for something to eat at Old Montreal before he dropped us off at the airport.

Someone asked for lots of pics, so here they are (resized to 1024 now):

In the last picture posted by Wacky there, it looks like your all slowly sinking, and Patchou has just given up hope, looks like you had a good time though! :)

rofl...yeah almost sinking....

Our feet went almost under sometimes because we didn't noticed we were standing so close on the edge. Luckily we had somewhat waterproof shoes on.

But the dock was fixed to the shore with cable though and half floated on the water as you can see. Too much weight on the tip and it indeed went under even more though.

Anyways, Patchou isn't giving up. In fact, he just caught another trout and is wheeling it in and I'm just about to throw my fishing pool again... We (WackyPatchyCooky) caught like 6 or 7 trout or something, dunno anymore.

We had the greatest time and I wont ever forget that saterday...

It was, and yea we wished you were there too...I missed you! Also missed Patch and Steph. Sure you would have liked getting all wet under the falls (or trying to stay dry in those ponchos they hand out lol, which was quite a task on the boat...Niagara is very windy) and looking down from up really really high at CN tower (uhuh yup, my ears did act up a lil with that elevator too, but not as much as that other elevator)! You wanted pics, you got them ;) MenthiX has made very pretty pics too, his cam sure beats my mobile phone cam.

Thanks wacky, I surely want to come back and visit again :wink:

Ohh and ehh, I uploaded all the pictures to Windows Live Photos now too, so they can be viewed in a slideshow. As for the photos hosted on my site: I've reduced the size of em so they will load faster now (and to save me some space). Of course the originals are available on request. Also see my previous post in this thread.
