I will be in Montreal the week of July 24th. Any Montreal TB'rs interested in meeting up for pizza, or ideally, having a gear fest at someone's house?

Pendelli's? LaFleur's? Ben's? Wanda Bar? :p Any takers?

I could be there, on the weekend only (I work on the night shift).

I've had poutine for breakfast. :D

So did I! Last night at about 2am. I'm in for the GTG.

Hey this is great. I am free on the Monday evening. Possibly Wednesday but that's a second choice. I fly home Thursday night.

Let's see if anyone else comes along.

I've got a recording session that day (Monday) but may be free by 10pm.

Where are you recording? I'll be staying downtown.

Possibly West Island, but I live downtown. Where are you staying?

Thanks to JMX for the "Sticky"!

Delta on University. I'll pm details to you and Yvon.


Anyone else up for legendary Montreal pizza?

Delta! That's two blocks from my place!

I'm in. I'm free all week actually, construction holiday :D :D

Any suggestions of what to do, where to go? Despite our get together, I always trip down to Steve's to say high to Dave and Michel.

How about pizza and possibly some live music somewhere? Local band stuff...nothing expensive. I have no idea where to go or what's on.

Hi Randall

Sorry. I arrive in Montreal on Saturday evening. I'll pm to you, Phil and Yvon.

Monday or Wednesday evenings work well for me. As I don't know the venues for live music anymore, how about you give that some thought and when we get together, we can play it by ear?

If anyone else is up for joining us, please drop me or Randall a pm, mkay?

Cheers

It's best to email me as my PM box becomes full often.

Too late. Let me know if you still need the email.

I'm going to track down Maestro Mastro.

PM received!

subscribed. Not sure what my schedule looks like for that week yet.

PM received and sent.

Is this still on? I only cought on to it now. Sorry, I'm slow.

There should be a redo for a real Mtl GTG.

I agree, I would be there, if it's a week end.

If I feel like a vacation trip maybe I'll make a trip to a GTG.

Hey guys, I'm in downtown Montreal and I want to hookup with some montreal TBers. Anyone interested in showing me some music shops, or get a meal together?

Sure. Email me

So, lets make a plan.

I want to apologizze for it not coming together last week. I was in Montreal on business running a work group session. It screwed up my week and made me unavailable. Hopefully I'm in town when the rescheduled event happens.

shoot. I had a crazy work schedule last week cause I was replacing all the vacationers. I also just noticed the email from Bass Boy, sorry Bass Boy I had changed my email address a while ago and forgot to update it on TB. It would be cool to get a real GTG going one day.

No problem!

Has this been pushed back? If it's on a weekend, I might be able to come up... :)

Hey Adam, it would be cool to see you again.

We just need a place I guess.

Where could we do it?

I think I could come as long as it's in the next 2 weeks, can I bring friends? (1 plays bass, the other guitar and a little bass)

I'm up for a GTG as long as I am free.

So what's the point on the GTGs being over here where only supporting members could see them? Shouldn't everybody know about the GTGs?

This forum is open to everyone. Paul also put a link to it in Off Topic.

Cool.

Let's have a mini Montreal GTG this summer during the jazzfest. Anyone down with that?

I'd be down with that :bassist:

i'd be so down, but damn, i'm in town only 2 days during the jazzfest: friday 29th and saturday 30th, cause of my summerjob, far from montreal.
I miss Mike Stern with The Bad Plus, i miss Richard Bona, i miss Amon Tobin, damn..:mad: :(

I'm in!

I might be able to go, I'M not sure.
I don't like to go to the jazz fest!
You hear anything but jazz there!!

I'm so out of the loop. I just found out that Bona is the invite! This year isn't too bad for the indoor concerts.. now the prices on the other hand...

I'd be there if it fits my summer schedule as I'm often on the road.

That would be great to meet some of you!

wow, I just came across this. I'd be into a wee GTG this summer, time providing...

So lets set a date that can have the most people available.

Sounds like a plan... uh, and since this forum gets *no* traffic, we should find some way to let the other 514 bassists know...

Subscribed.

I'm in... Do you have an idea where you would like to meet?

It's MSM&W. :p

Not my tongue!:p

So, is something still planned?

I was also at the MSMW show, and was a bit disappointed. Too much Scofield for me...how did you guys find it?

I thought it was great, but I dig Scofield! The sound man should be shot, however.

I saw MSMW and I really enjoyed it. If you were anywhere near the front on the right side (looking at the stage) you were probably annoyed with either me or my friends. If so, I'm sorry.

Anyone see Trio Beyond right before that? I went to both and it turned out to be waaaaaay too much Scofield for me.

:o

:rollno:

You guys should have been at the Dave Holland Quintet. :cool:

robin teaches at our school nice guy really weird.

Everyone should be checking out the Hyatt jam sessions. Amazing stuff. At the Hyatt hotel every night during the jazzfest. Starting at 11pm and ending around 3am. You need the "Carte Des Amis" to get in. It costs $12 but it is totally worth it. I'm planning on printing a bunch of counterfeit cards to get my friends in for free. Let me know if you want one.

Did anyone see the Jen Winthers Quartet tonight? They were really really good.

So what's the plan?

The MMMIS started yesterday (Thursday). It's time we set up a time to meet down there.

I am going to try and head down on Saturday sometime.

I'll be there on saturday too for the SIMMM and Don Ross at 8 o'clock. I'll also be there on sunday for the Alain Caron Clinic.

Btw, anyone saw the Jaco Pastorius Big Band with Richard Bona? It was AMAZING...hard to put into word, one of the best shows i've ever seen.

Name the time and place on sat. at the MMMIS...

How about we meet in front of la salle Wilfrid-Pelletier (in the Place-des-Arts, the main entrance with all the windowed doors) at 1?

Btw, anyone saw the Jaco Pastorius Big Band with Richard Bona? It was AMAZING...hard to put into word, one of the best shows i've ever seen.
Damn, I missed that. I really wanted to see it too. But I went to see Kurt Rosenwinkel at 10:00pm that same day, I and I didn't want to spend money on two concerts in the same day.

I might be able to go late sunday after noon or at night.

Let's make it Sunday After 5.30 or 6. My auditions will be over, so I'll be able to meet you guys.

I guess I'll have to catch you guys next time then. I have a band rehearsal on Sunday.

I should be at the alain caron clinic tomorrow at 3.
