Corner of Bourbon & Division

Okay, after consulting my poll, my own schedule, and my landlady, I have come up with an official date and time for my housewarming shindig:

Saturday, August 12th 2006, starting at 4:00pm. That's late enough to drink, early enough for people with babies (I hope!).

I will try to provide a decent selection of booze, but I will be officially strapped for cash until September, so if you have something in particular you really like, you may want to bring it yourself. I shall provide snack-type foods and hopefully a decent amount of meat for the barbecue. Pray for nice weather! Again, your own contributions are welcome, though if you don't bring anything it's not the end of the world.

For those of you who know where t! and ai731 live, well, I live upstairs. For the rest of you, I will be happy to provide an address and directions by email. I can be reached at brunelle_d at sympatico dot ca, or at mousme at livejournal dot com.

If you're from out of town but think you might be in Montreal then, of course you're welcome to drop by. :)

If you won't be in town, or just can't make it for some reason, we'll tell silly stories about you behind your back consider you to be there in spirit. :)

Questions? Comments? Issues?

Those of you who haven't given up in disgust yet will be pleased to know that there are two new chapters waiting for you up at secret_history.

I'm not putting the direct link to the entries here because it's late and I'm tired and so I'm going to be lazy about this.


Happy Trails!

I haven't pimped a friend in a while, so here's two new webcomics for the price of one.



By my good friend rowen26, who is far more talented than he gives himself credit for.

Also:

24 fps to which I don't have the banner, sadly.

By the very talented shenlo.

Go! Read! Standard threats of domiciliary arson apply if you don't. Also, I encourage you to pester them both to update regularly. :)

And a very happy birthday to fearsclave! I shall have to write a post about yesterday's festivities, although he summed it up nicely in his own LJ, for those who are curious.

At least the line dancing classes are starting again this Friday.

I've found myself a more permanent partner for the couples dances, so that'll be fun. I was always having to scramble to find someone with whom to dance, so it'll be nice to know in advance that I have a partner lined up. Fred is a pretty good dancer, too, more advanced than I am, that's for certain, so it'll be a nice challenge. We're both planning on doing the advanced courses as well as the intermediate and beginner ones, so we'll see if I can wrap my mind around those. :)

For the record, there's a promotion on right now at the club. If you come to the first three lessons (so either the first three Fridays or the first three Sundays), you get in for free, and then you get your membership card for free, which is normally worth $50 (Canadian).

So, if you're in Montreal and you want to check out the country dance scene (yeah, I know there are lots of you out there), do feel free to drop by. Classes start at 7:30 pm (it's good to get there a bit early, as lineups form toward the beginning of the session), and the club is located on the corner of Amherst and Viger. Closest metro is Berri-UQAM. Ping me if you have questions, of course. :)

In other news, I really want it to be 1pm so I can go eat. I'm starving!
