august 3, 2008 à montréal: jour deux - dimanche dommage

i'm on a roll. might as well finish this mini getaway. yeah yeah, it's just a city a few hours away from home. but it's culturally different... like they speak a different language.

it does help that i got my facebook albums to help me relive these experiences. otherwise, i would likely have no idea.

alright.

sunday.

it was the day of the pride parade.

but it was also the day we decided to shop along st laurent instead. the pic is totally unnecessary. just trying to buy some time till i remember other shit.


so yeah, a little hungover from the night before.
i can't believe we spent hours on this street. and a couple more looking for bagels. despite having been there a week earlier, es managed to get us lost again in our hunt for the holey bread.
zing.

while we were driving around, we ran into a dude that looked like kimmy gibbler.
of all the people dan decided to hail over, he had to pick the one we were obviously stifling laughs about in the back seat. it was brutal, and it was awesome. now i wish there was a pic to accompany that, but i am sure that would have been really obvi.

wow.

i am so glad i remembered that.

also.

we got are bagels. headed back to dan's where i took a well needed disco nap before...!!!
wait, not the band !!!
but i am excited so i went!!!
because i was excited for.... wait for it!!!
wolf parade.

:)


yeah my pics aren't great for this because i hate takin pics at shows. i prefer to enjoy the experience of being there. instead of planning on what i want to remember from the experience via photograph.

best.
show.
ever.

the venue was perfect. it was also awesome that i scored a free tick for es by being pretty. thanks security guard :)

but yeah, weird that there was a seating section upstairs... i don't get it. but the acoustics were perfect. they are such babes. and there was a babe in the crowd. i was secretly hoping he would mc me on cl. alas, i dunno how widely used craigs is in mtl. and, well, i would've been home by then.

nevertheless.

because it was sunday and a show, that entertainment was done pretty early. round 11ish? 10:30ish? but since we didn't have to get back to work the next day (only that weekend did i realize civic holiday was province specific, not national), we decided to kick it.



so we picked up some tequila beer from the depanneur and drank in the alley way. duh. what else.
luckily we hid our cans in time to evade suspicion from la police.

and moseyed onto the blue dog. ie like strangelove. but smaller. well it wasn;t the same music that they played for dlyf. but what i remember from the interior....
whatev.

this guy was awesome. but everyone else looked uncomf. and i wasn't getting drunk fast enough so i got over it pretty fast. not that many babes as i thought there would be either.
but it is a good thing we left in time. otherwise this would;ve never happened:
note dan in the background chatting with the cops. wearing jeans. who can take that seriously? amirite?!


so he got booked.



did they catch us drinking in public? did it have anything to do with us trying to light a pipe in the parking lot?

non.

dan and his new friends on the street (ie the douche bags posing for the cam) got written up for laughing too loudly.
they were so excited to run into each other, remembering a past comedy show, that they hugged and jumped up and down and laughed.

clearly, reason for charging $144 dollars.
"avait emis un bruit audible à ???? de cris"

i'm really glad their squad is less concerned about their money in their budget for wardrobe and more about these tough issues.
