The past week was as event-filled as summer during festivals season in Montreal. It started last weekend with a convergence of work friends from Waterloo, Toronto, and Montreal (my home base) in Kingston. Ten of us took in a matinee showing of the ridiculous Borat, then headed over to the Kingston Brewing Co. for wings, brews, and rounds of trivia questions and Dragon's Breath Pale Ale. We had a great time and once again lamented the fact that we live 600 km apart. I do feel blessed, though, to live in this time: even 50 years ago, it would not have been easy for all of us to get together as we did.
The fun continued this week with Fel's visit to Montreal. She, MN, and I got to hang out and share meals together, see movies (we recommend Kinky Boots as a feelgood movie), get through a hectic work week, and Fel my brother-in-law and I went to the Joe Sullivan Big Band (scroll down) CD launch (clip) on Thurs. night at the laid back Divan Orange on St. Laurent. The band was fantastic and filled the bar with a wall of swingin' sound - BWAAH-AAAT!!
The week ended with a good, group-cooked BBQ meal on Fri. night with MN's beau as barman. Can you end the week on a better note than with good friends, good food, and good martinis? Not this one.
Santé, merci d'être venue, et au prochain Felstival! - Bises, DC.
