Because of some last minute changes to my carpool's ride situation, I don't think I can go to Montreal.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

I'm in a VERY tight fix right now, because I'm trying to figure out my ride situation. I haven't given up on getting myself into Montreal for this event.

What's down is whether to ride with Drew Martin or with Paul Agostinelli. Drew needs to pick up a bicycle on his way to/from Montreal, and it will take space (most likely in the backseat), which means it will be an inconvenience for any passengers wanting to hitch a ride with him. The other option, Paul, works at a camp in Warwick which is 2 hours from NYC, so a bus ride there to rendevous with him is a possibility. What sucks is that this not only affects me, but two other people (Barrett and his girlfriend), so I'm trying to calculate which would be the best option for the three of us now.

The changes were completely last minute, so that's why I posted a frustrated message before. I apologize for any confusion.

Mathieu, do I still have dibs on some space at your place?

Awww, I'm not gonna make it next week. It's not money at all, but time. I don't want to go all that way just for barely 2 nights (work). Bleeeh. I'll have to meet Windsen somewhere else! (And visit Montreal another time)

Hey, so I purchased my bus ticket and it looks like I should be arriving at the Montreal greyhound bus stop around 5:35. Would anyone possibly be able to pick me up or is it a short enough distance to walk to Place-des-arts from 505 BOUL DE MAISONNEUVE EST (bus station address)?

Can't wait! Hyper hype!

I walk from Berry Uqam subway station to Place Des Arts almost everytime i shred at place des arts. It's 15 minutes if you walk slowly and take a look at the 300 dansing bar of ste-catherine street haha. You can't miss the place des arts if you follow ste-catherine.

I just bought a train ticket departing from Montreal (MTR) and arriving into NYC Penn Station (NYP) for June 15 Monday. It departs at 9:30am, so is anyone willing to drive me or direct me to the train station then?

Oh, and I will be driving into Montreal with Paul Agostinelli. That confirms my trip for Montreal! :P

Hey nice job Waylon. SUSPENSE.

Assuming you're on an Amtrak train going from 'Gare Centrale' (central station?) then it's basically downtown, right next to a metro, and very easy to get to.

No, no, no. The leather skin and horns only happen about once every 28 days. Don't forget about the breathing fire, that's where you'll really get in trouble. But on these occasions, just keep handfuls of chocolate available to pacify the monster.

Anywho... Because last minute and insane is how we roll down here in D.C., Vince Bradley, Ryan Thomas and I will be there this weekend. Staying with our homeboy Kolo. Leaving sometime Friday night and will hopefully be in Montreal just in time to meet up at the site on Saturday morning. Then we are coming back Sunday early afternoon. 20 hours of driving for a little over 24 hours in Montreal :) Woo!

Super excited about Les Foufs!

2 weeks back I broke up with my leathered skin and horned fire-breathing gf and was exciting to be able to make it, but then starting a 40hrs drive made me think about life, and I went back to the beast(a real pretty one I must add) so no Montreal open, I see you Mtlers around july 1st or something like that
