I'll be there, and I'm driving from London. I have three seats available, and am looking to share expenses.

OK so I have a rough idea who's coming, so that's good. Holla if you haven't yet though!

Like I mentioned before, we recommend staying at the hostel, but if anyone is in dire straights PM me and we'll see if we can work something out for you.

hey just wondering about how many footbaggers are gonna be at the wedding, and when are they arriving.

to the vermont guy, are you going through the eastern townships or straight through to montreal, because we could carpool if you wanted to.

Sorry for lack of updates, been busy with wedding stuff. Please let me know if you have questions about anything. I was thinking, Sunday, if it's nice, we might all congregate at the Tam Tams. Again, easy to reach from the Hostel. I'll get some directions on this post tonight.

My phone number is five one four, seven six six, three zero seven two. It's a landline though. Will try and get a cell contact for you guys asap.

Place des Arts

Here's a link to Place Des Arts, highly recommend you guys meet up here. If you guys aren't showing up for Friday, that's OK, but this should be the meeting ground. 5 minute walk down St-Catherine street to hit the Hostel.

Plan yourselves guys, I know it's tricky and a little messy because there's no direct host, but, do it anyway and come to the reception Saturday night, it'll be a riot!!! :D

I've sent Sebastien Duchesne a message and hope to hear back soon. James will be there pho sho, Mathieu is MOVING that day so ahhhh not sure, hopefully... Ianek I'm not really in touch with, gonna try and PM me if I can find his account! This might not be a huge footbag event, but it's still a huge event... it's a great time to be in town, and with a bunch of footbaggers running around it'll be wild!

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.

This will rock. <- Period.

Hey, so Ian and I should be getting in Friday night around 9pm, will anyone be around and willing to kick, or should we just amble along the mean streets of Montreal in search of cheap booze and a strip club?

Ahh Way Way, sad you won't be there :(

I've PMd you guys Master James' phone number, so call him whenever, for whatever reason, at any time of night. He's down for whatever, so give him a call and he'll set up some kicks!

Supposed to be beautiful weather this weekend, so that's a relief. All in all this is gearing up top be a small but distinguished footbag crowd. I hope you guys will have an excellent time while down here, and I'm just sorry I couldn't be more involved with you guys while your here.

I'll be on the corner of St-Hubert and St-Catherine at the metro berri station from 1PM to 2PM today, that's my lunch break (I now work next to this station)

If anyone is in the mood for a warmup kick, I'll gladly play.

Sad part is, that's the only hour I got for the weekend. (or more like 45 mins since I got to dry up before going back to work!)
