Montreal meetup July 2005

July 20, 2005 1:37 PM

Last Minnit Me-Fi for MONTREAL !!! Friday night the 22 at 7pm at Copacabana Bar on St Laurent. (Else's on Roy St is nicer but smaller and might be packed at seven). I am from Vancouver and visiting and would like to meet some other Metafilterers. if no one shows that's cool, I will bring a copy of the Great Gatsby and let it wash over me drinking gin martinis. And so we beat on...

Aw, I'd come if I weren't moving this weekend.

Gin martinis at Copa? Not the usual beverage of choice.

Say 'hi' to Carlos for me, the best gay Portuguese bartender in Montreal.

I would go, but I've been exiled to Hogtown.

Have fun!

I would so love to go to a Mefi meetup in Montreal! I envy you.

I visited Montreal last weekend, but am there no longer. Shame. Copa's changed. It's become much more of a coke-den than it used to be.

Paris, I have family up that way. If I visit them in August I will start a meet-up thread and you would be welcome to join us.

Yeah, we don't like you either, painquale. Go back to Go Go.

I miss the Copa. If I were still there I would attend, but I'm not.

There is nothing like the Copa in Ottawa. (Ottawa residents: Do not suggest the Dom.)

I need to get to Montreal for the first time since 1983 before worrying about a meetup, but thanks.

(I still like Copa! I'm just nostalgic.)

Ah, I wish - I do need to get to Montreal very soonishly so I can visit my grandmother, and I'm only in Ottawa, but tomorrow's no good (leaving aside that we don't have a car right now.)

Have fun! Eat some bagels!
