I updated the Schedule, location and map.
For now there is mostly 2 crash space : my place dans Nick place. Ianek will probably not host so many people this year.
For those who want to party a lot, i suggest to go at nick place.
For those who want to have a smooth night with a pool, a barbecue and some beer, you can come at my parents place. If you want to use the pool, don't forget you swinsuit
. I have lots of floor space, but no mattresses, so bring something to make sure you are confortable!

I'd like to mention that for Friday night, for the people crashing at my place (well, anyone's invited, but it'll be more convenient if you crash at La Roche Residence), there's a beer brewery that opened up a special little terasse in the back, which is right up against the beautiful Lachine Canal and can only be access via bike path!
Looks like they got good drinks, some good seats, open sky, great location, and it's a 5 minute walk from my place. Oh, and if I'm not mistaken there's some good kicking spots not far from there.
SO.
That's the dillio for rillio Friday night, so be there or be 4-square.

Updated the first post.
Basicaly i wrote my cell phone number. If you are lost you'll be able to contact me!
Also, i explained that if you don't fin us at our usual spot at the Place des arts, we will only be on the other side of the building on Jeanne Mance. Look at google map, it's easy to understand.

Hey so I think I'm going to make it to this event. I'll probably leave around 1 tomorrow and get there around 7ish. Is there parking around Place-des-Arts?
EDIT: Also, I realize it's very last minute but if anyone needs a ride, feel free to call me, I'm driving up by myself so there's plenty of space. 585-354-6683

IMPORTANT.
Friday, at the Place des Arts, we will play on Jeanne Mance. Wich is one street away from our usual spot. Look ont the map. There is a lot a small foutain around this area, you can't miss the spot. I went today at the place des arts and there is way tooooo much construction to be able to play there. We will be better at the other spot...

Montreal spring jam 2010 write up.
First of all, it was pretty awsome. I’m really happy taht everything went well. You know, even if everything is well prepared, you never really know what will happen.
Let’s starts with Friday. The weather was pretty nice, like 20 degrees and sunny. Perfect for shred. The bad point is that my back was injuried, i wasn’T even sure i could play for the whole weekend. So i ended up just sitting down, waiting for people and look them shred. Not so many people from outside the town showed up on that day. Only like Johnny, Dante and Andrew. Dante, Mathieu and François played for 3-4 hours i think. Johnny played some minutes with nick, as James and Julien did. Dante was playing ok that day, he was way better than what i saw from him last year. But i will talk more about him later. François is such a weird player. He van hit almost any single move that exist. He as been playing for something like 8 years now. But he only play like once per week during summer and he doesn’t play at all during the winter. He can hit crazy things like Fairy swirling mirage, janiwalker and he tried Whirling pdx drifter. The funniest thing is that he doesn’t know any name of the moves he can do. If this guys would have drilled a little bit, he would have been crazy. Around 8PM, everyone moved to Nick place where they chill out a little bit. Dante and I came back to my house where we had awsome time in the pool. The water was super, like 90 degrees farenheit, something like that. Then we looked bunch of footbags videos and talked a lot. Super smooth night, but very interesting.
Then Saturday come. We had a beautiful gym at UQAM right in downtown. On Saturday, 21 persons showed up! We where super happy, as we organised the Jam pretty last minute. Some crazy players like Sebastien, Johnny Will and Ianek where there. It was awsome. We did circle contest on that day. I have been super lucky... My circle was : Sebastien, Ianek, James and I. Let me say i had no pression. I was just sure to take 4th place haha. But things didn’t happen like that. I played super well, like 15-20 contact every string, hitting all my usual stuff like drifter BSOS, torque, rip walk blur and even some 5 like blurry whirl, blurry drifter, fog. I also hit pdx torque – pdx drifter mid string. People seemed to be really impressed by this combo. At the same time, Ianek wasn’t at his best. Ianek is sooooo good... Like 100 times better then I. But he was just not on that day. James had some consistency problem. Of course, Seb endend up 1st in our circle. But suprisingly, 2 judges out of 3 placed me in 2nd place before Ianek. Let me say that it will never happen again, except if Ianek stoped to play. It think it a good step for my confidence. I haven’t really wtched the other circle because i was warming up, but the final circle was Seb, Johnny and Will. Talking about Johnny, he MUST goes at worlds this year... No joke, he will make BAP this year if he make it at worlds. He is ridiculous. lots of contacts every string with crazy whirling set, nucluear, double dexes all around. And no need to talk about his awsome style... Seb is Seb. So consistent with things he love to do. I remember the string with like 10 down time double dexes in a row. He will always impress me. I thing Will have accelerators in the legs. He can dex super fast and hit crazy combos. I don’t even want to imagine how crazy he would be if he would train hard all the time... So Johnny won this year and he really deserved it. Seb took second place and will got 3rd. For the intermediate circle, it was Samuel, Jean-Martin, Waylon, Andrew and Julien. Sam took the first place, Jean-Martin the second and Waylon the third place. I’m super happy for Sam and Jean-Martin. Sam has a good potential. IF he start to play on a regular basis, he will be super good, no doubt. And it was a nice reward for Jean-Martin. He had a lot of problem with his stalls in the last year. Still, he worked really hard to fix them and it really paid off in that circle. It think Dante and I played for like 4 jours on that day?!?
Then on Saturday night, we went in China town for dinner. Oh man, the waiter was just so... stupid. It took like 20 minutes to order our food because he was like : oh i will stop to work soon, so as you want seperate bill, it will be hard for the other waiter to know who must pay what and bla bla bla. So he just let us wait until the other one arrive. Then the other one was late, so he finnaly figured out he could let us write on a paper what we want and write our name. So we finaly ordered something. After the dinner, everyone went at Nick place where they chill out with some beer and so. Dante and I went back at my place. We had an other 2 man session at night. So we play probably more than 5 hours on that day. The session was awsome. If Dante keep playing that much, he will be one of the next big things in north america. He can do bassicly every move both side with a super form. And he his really consistant. He hitted a crazy drill right in my face : Blur-Atom-Legbeater-RIPwalk –Blurry whirl- RPT. He dropped at the last blurry whirl. It is just ridiculous. Man, he has been playing for 2 years... We had fun drilling together, as we are more or less at the same level. After that we went back at the pool. We still warm enough. We played N64. He pwned me at Super Smash ï
