Just got back from spring break in scorching Montreal, where I had the distinct pleasure of meeting our own obnerst/Ish. Though encumbered with mono, he still gathered the strength to come out not just once (to drink scotch), but TWICE (to climb a MOUNTAIN). Montreal is a beautiful, not-as-snobby-as-you-would-think city, and we took in as much of it as 3 days allowed, but above the delicious French food, the museums and the view from the top of Mount Royal, I recommend the Ish.

Thanks for showing us around, J.

I've been wanting to go there for a very very long time. It just sounds oh so beautiful.

Glad to hear you guys had a great time aaron.

You're taller than I expected, 'ron. You should've warned me.

I was absolutely delighted to meet you am glad that I'm not as snobby as you would've thought.

Charli and everyone, you're more than invited to come visit Montreal, but remember this: Ish can be enjoyed anywhere.

Wish I could have been there kids.

Glad to hear my home town showed you a good time.


Ahhh, my dear Montreal.

**insert "wistful" smiley here**

Polly, you're sooo Toronto now.

Hummm...should I take that as a compliment?

I'm coming to Mtl for Easter to do some recording.
Awww yeah.

Jonathan, why is it we've not done a little Obner meet up yet? I could kidnap ayah and just drive not so far north.

Glad everyone had such a nice time!

You and your kidnapping plots...I'm surprised you weren't picked up for trying to steal David Letterman's son as well...

Shhhhh..... mersh, or you're next.

Hmmm...mouth gagged....hands tied...no work for a few days...

When I work out the downside of all this, I'll start being quiet...

I'd be the best kidnapper ever.

just got my ninja suit back from the cleaners. let's go.

and aren't you like 15 minutes away from canada?

I think I'm about four hours from Montreal. Which is so little, really.

I am probably going to be in Toronto in early to mid-July. Anyone game? Dates are not finalized and subject to change without prior notice.

Whoa. You're closer than I am.

Stacey, absolutely you should come up here with ayah this spring or summer, for this killer festy or one of our many other summer attractions.

Let me know!

Je voudrais aller a Montreal aussi.

Peut-etre tu peut arranger quelque chose avec Stacey et ayah, et on peut avoir un grand fete dans le printemps. (Oh, yeah, le printemps commence en Juin ... )

Juin? Wow! Hmmm...peut-etre en automne? Probablement en septembre ou octobre.

Then you can come for the Pop Montreal festy.

Oooh, now there's a thought! Though, Dave (shoegazer) and I wanna go to Iceland in October. We shall see how "financially stable" I am.

Probablement en septembre ou octobre.

That means probably in september or october.

YES!

<--- impressed with the Frenchy banter.

This should seriously be considered. ayah, prepare yourself for a good old fashioned kidnapping.

I anxiously await your arrival. ayah doesn't seem to be following this thread.
