Montreal Wedding Bash, July 9-10

Post by Laroche »

MONTREAL WEDDING BASH 2011!!!!!!!!

It’s Official!

The Montreal Wedding Bash will be held over the weekend of July 9-10 in celebration of my wedding day! We have a few notorious confirmed guests including Matt Cross, Paul Agostinelli, and Johnny Suderman. This will be a pretty informal jam so don't worry if your kicks aren't up to par, just bring your shoes and bring yourself.

Reasons why you should come:

- Cheap Lodging, we're looking at a hostel arrangement. Unfortunately do to circumstances out of our control we can't get the apartment for free anymore.
- Reception Party happening on July 9th will be off the hook! All are invited… Dress nice though!
- Close proximity and easy transportation between all sites – no vehicle needed, bus yer ass over here if it’s your only way to get here!

I’ll be updating this post with more information so make like a banana and keep your eyes peeled!

-----------DETAILS-----------

LOCATION: The event site will be at Place Des Arts, and it is an outdoor site. For those of you who’ve been to an event in Montreal before you will definitely be familiar where you will be kicking! Conveniently, there are many cement overhangs, which makes it an also ideal location even if it’s raining and/or windy.

SUNDAY, TAM TAMS, I WILL BE THERE!!

Was kinda bummed at not being able to see my footbag buddies, but whoever can come from the wedding reception will be coming to the Tams! Not sure what time exactly, but roughly 1pm would be a good guess.

If you need a contact cell phone over here, send me a PM. Haha I was going to post it here but realize posting someone's cell# on the net is a bad idea.

As for the Wedding Reception, all are invited, only caveat is that I ask you guys dress nice! Pack a button-down and pants, it will be a cash bar and there will be tons of free food available.
The location is at La Sala Rosa, 4848 St-Laurent, and the doors will be opening at 7pm, and we’ll be partying till the sun comes up.

Sunday if it's nice I recommend you guys hit up the Tam Tams on the Mountain. Again, easily accessible from the Hostel, I'll put up directions soon.

CRASH ARRANGEMENTS: After some searching, the best deal I can recommend for you guys is to stay at the Montreal Central Hostel: http://www.hostels.com/hostels/montreal ... tral/35143

- $19.99 / night / person, and this will net you a free breakfast buffet plus wireless
- The location is a 5 minute walk from Place Des Arts, the event site
- Located at the heart of the metro station downtown at Berri-Uqam
- TONS of cheap food all over the place


Looking forward to seeing my footbag buddies, I hope for all of my friends over the years to make the effort to make it on my special day in the beautiful city of Montreal!

Address of Reception
La Sala Rosa
4848 St-Laurent

If you're taking a metro, the closest is Metro Laurier. Walk WEST on Laurier, you will intersect St-Laurent, and walk SOUTH a block or two. When you come in the building, go up the main stairs right ahead of you, these will bring you to the reception area! It's a wicked all wood concert hall, all for us!

Hey guys!

Jorden: Man I haven't seen you in forever! If you could make it down that would be sweet! As a side note, our reception venue has a stage, and not to force you or anything....... bbbbbbuuuuutttttttt........ a couple sweet juggling tricks would be really cool to see, hint hint, nudge nudge, ;) haha it's cool if you don't want to though, I know it's your livelihood these days (which is also very cool).

Mathieu: :( :( :(

OK updates coming soon, just been busy with wedding stuff... I'll update the first post, but everything is going as planned. I just want to mention that we'll have some outdoor spots planned which have cover in case of rain. Sorry I couldn't get a venue, too broke right now, but the condo which you guys will be staying in is free and posh. Tonight I'll edit the first post with all the details.

damn, it's possibly the same weekend I move to the south shore from Joliette, might not make it :(

I was so stocked since I did'nt play with anyone for such a long time, and would have been nice to see your wedding

crossing finger that somehow it works out, but very doubtful.

*** UPDATE ***

Guys... I'm so sorry but I won't be able to provide free crash space anymore :( :( :(

Due to a series of unfortunate events the condo has been pretty much denied to us, I just learned about it today. We're doing our best to find the lowest cost alternative, I'll keep you guys posted. Again, sorry guys I really wanted to do this but we got f***ed on this twice so far.
