Another successful adventure Sunday this weekend with Tara and Gaël! Gaël had the brilliant idea of hitting up the beach and therefore we ventured out to park Jean Drapeau, spiked punch, sunscreen and chips in hand. Gaël built sandcastles, I read and Tara tanned (using the most bizarre tanning lotion I have ever seen, basically it induces an allergic reaction and apparently that's supposed to help you tan...)
The castle was mostly successful as was the tanning. The highlight of the day came when a couple of FULLY dressed tourists tried to go for a swim on the one part of the beach your not supposed to use and proceeded to basically have sex in the water. They were then kick out of the water by a lifeguard with washboard abs, so they headed to the picnic tables to strip off theirs clothes and finish there.
This weekend also marked the beginning of the Jazz Festival here in MTL. So Grace Tara and I headed out to the Festivities to watch opening act Brian Setzer and his orchestra light up the night. I was unfortunately too late to catch hometown favorites the Hellbound Hepcats play but I told that both of their shows were a riot. As expected the place was PACKED but we did manage to get within 100 feet of the stage and were able to better see the screens and tell that there were in fact people on stage. later that night Duke and Tristan met us for beer and we spent the rest of the night watching the show from there n their handy dandy TV screen.
So all in all it was a fun and cheap weekend! Which is good cause this week is moving week and it promises to be hell!
