This Is The Most Public of My Many Humiliations
Sunday, May 01, 2005
My adventure in Montreal went extremely well. I did everything I expected to do, and a bit more. It rained everyday I was there, which on some levels is a downer, but I learned to deal with it after the first few days.
When I first arrived, Sean and Batman took me to this Swiss restaurant where I had Fondue. I think cheese fondue could possibly be the worst tasting/smelling thing on the planet. They ate a huge bucket of the shit. I opted for meat fondue, which involved cooking pieces of beef tenderloin in hot oil. I really enjoyed that meal.
The dizzee rascal concert on Wednesday evening was amazing. There were 1000+ people there, which I totally wasn't expecting. I guess Dizzee has a bigger following in Montreal then I originally thought. Montreal has an amazing live music scene. I went to an amazing Jazz bar last night, though I missed the whole set, im sure the music was just as good as the bar itself.
I have to once again send a shout-out to my ever gracious host's: Greg, and The James. Their never-ending hospitality never ceases to amaze me. James' brother and his friend came up for the weekend and added another demention to my adventure. The weggie fights at 4 am were ever entertaining.
I went to an after hours club on Friday night and danced the night away. Its strange because those places are so dark I didn't realize it was 7 am until I checked the time on my cell phone. Greg and I then left feeling like the most sketchy people on the planet. So we went by martina's house to try and wake her up. I don't even think we knocked at her door.
It was Michelle's birthday on Thursday, we went to Orchid and bought a few bottles of vodka. I danced and danced, had a really great time. Martina fell quite a few times but I caught her. Well I caught her once, but hey 1/3 isn't that bad. She has a bruise the size of a fist on her ass from falling on a table, or something equally as hard.
Amber's party went off with-out a hitch. I am sure that she enjoyed herself. She came by on Friday morning and woke me up. We smoked a joint, shot the shit and relaxed, as she had just finished her last exam of the year. I then went to OAP, im not really sure what that stands for, but it was basically a big bbq and drink fest that started at 12 noon on Friday @ the McGill campus.
I left late this after noon with Greg, Liam and Stef. I slept for a really long time, which was amazing because I didn't go to bed before 6 am once this week. The drive home from Montreal is very boring. What sucks even more is that for the 5 hour ride my cell phone doesn't seem to work. Stupid Fido. I know I am probably forgetting a bunch of stuff. But it will come to me tonight in my dreams.
P.S An extra special congrats to my friends Phil and Brooke for getting engaged.
