Montreal was fun!

Welp,
Sitting in the airport in Toronto waiting for my connecting flight to San Francisco. Hope it’s not delayed. Checked the FAA’s delay website at http://www.fly.faa.gov/flyfaa/usmap.jsp and everything looked good. Also double-checked my flight’s *real* flight status using these tools that let you see more details:

Yup, too much data. Huh? Oh, and if you wanna get really crazy, check out the turbulence maps at http://apps.turbulenceforecast.com . Yeah, I check those, too, before flying. :-)

So, how was Montreal you ask? Well… It was awesome!

Cousin Jeremy is doing really well. He has a nice apartment! We toured the city during the day time. I ate some really good bagels at one of Montreal’s famous bagel places. Also saw a really beautiful sight of the city from some lookout point on top of Mount Royal. Also briefly saw that Tam-Tams or whatever it’s called (the hippies in the park). It was cool.

We went to a bar named Ye Old Orchard in downtown Montreal. We took the underground Metro to get there. On the way there I noticed the Metro had TV screens in some of the stations! Huge flatscreen ones! WTF! I wish my taxes went to flat screen TVs in the subway. Fucking Montreal. We saw all these people getting out of a Canadians Hockey game, too. Exciting!

Jeremy selected a bar named Ye Old Orchard because it was Jeremy’s friend Pierce’s Birthday and they were celebrating there. When we arrived we discovered that the hockey game that just let out had tons of fans arriving at the bar as well. The place was PACKED. Pierce was a really funny, somewhat drunk Asian guy. He made an excellent host. He was funny and seemed to know everybody under the sun. Every time I thought there were tons of people at his party table, more showed up.

I also met these two friends of Jeremy’s, Greg & Maive. They both were in Jeremy’s psychology class. Greg wants to go to Australia and also lives in Ontario. He works with autistic kids. He needs money. Don’t we all? He was super cool. Especially since he’d at least *heard* of Phish. Maive is in medical school but drinks with the rest of them. She was also very chill.

I met one of their friends named Ashley. Ashley told me she is going to dentistry school. And that it’s not just about teeth god damn it! Someone else I met is going to Veterinarian school. I can’t remember who. Lame

As usual, I forgot to bring my camera. I spent all this money on a nice new camera and now my issue is that I never remember it. Lame. So I took no pictures. I suck.

We got pizza afterwards. They were playing Pink Floyd techno really fucking loud. They didn’t have pepper or seasonings for the pizza. Lame. But the pizza tasted really good. It was called Dan’s or something.

Well, that was my night out in Montreal. Fun, eh?

Hopefully I get to see Jeremo again soon.
