Thank you BlondeBomber and flyme2... I will help with the gas, I'm good for that

Thanks, Spartacus, my stomach awaits with anticipation the taste delights of KKs on Saturday morning. As BB has noted, we haven't popped the corks yet, but it looks good that AC will be flying through into next week, so we should be able to make it into, and out of, Montreal for the weekend.

BTW Canada's other national daily, the Globe & Mail, has run their feature of Krispy Kremes this morning (Thursday) following on the heels of the original one last week in the National Post. The anticipation builds...

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gifEveryone gets a ride. Esp. Catman. Up front, even!
n_j flyer: You'll be arriving roughly the same time a another stellar bunch. Enough room for everyone!

Time's flying by. You'll all be getting an email later today with more details.

As soon as I get to the hotel (should be about 1 - 1:30), I'm going out for smoked meat, probably to Schwartz'. Anybody joining me? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Montrealers always talk about 'smoked meat', but they never tell what type of meat! I wonder why!

You could just as easily say the same thing about meat loaf, which doesn't sound strange at all. Just say, viande fumée. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Perhaps you could also provide a rough translation for the signs governing on street parking in the city of Montreal for those FTer's in rental cars armed only with a knowledge of English! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

For example, it is critical to distingush NO PARKING from TOW AWAY ZONE! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Here's a New Yorker's take on Montréal deli culture...smoked meat, bagels and other necessities of life.

One day to go, Air Canada is flying, the sun is shining, it's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood for an FAQ party.
First to arrive will be johna. We've planned dinner together and he has promised to bring some delicicacies from the deep blue Pacific. Can't wait!

"viande fumée"? C'est quoi, "viande fumée"?

Oh, vous voulez dire "un smoke meat!"

IslandCub, who can sound like an east-end Montrealer if he tries hard

Glad to hear NO STRIKE. Just arrived in New York City, haven't ventured out of the apartment yet. I've got a sunburn from Florida, my third one in all my years of living! Ouch. I'll be on the same flight as Cat, SOMEBODY PLEASE PICK ME UP. Thank you. I think I've gained ten pounds, just hearing about all that food. But what a way to go...

You'll find that all we Canadians ever seem to talk about is weather and food. Oh yes, and our points... But those we use so we can get to better weather and more exotic foods!

Which of the standard five male dress codes is appropriate for the FAQ dinner Saturday night? I need to know what to pack.

What are the standard five male dress codes, you ask? Simple. As opposed to the number of possible combinations and standards females need to deal with, men follow one of the following:

1 - Riduculous (Tux)
2 - Very Formal (Jacket and tie)
3 - Formal (Jacket, no tie, shoes)
4 - Normal (anything covering essential body parts)
5 - Comfortable (Clothes optional)

Please let me know which number the restaurant is expecting....Thanks.

doc: The most important thing to know is that "parking" is stationnement (sp.?)
Therefore, "no parking" = ne pas (or n.p.)stationnement!

flyme2: I have read this before. Although he writes well, and manages to have opinions without being opinionated, I will make up my own mind. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

islandcub: This is why I intend to wear my Yankees cap, or other obvious symbol of New York-dom, the entire weekend. New Yorkers get a cultural free pass in Montreal.
