There’s a ghost who came out this morning – actually she comes out every St. Patrick’s day – just down the street from my office. But I can’t find a site with the story. But there is a St Patrick’s day ghost in Montreal, specifically in Griffintown, an old Irish area of the city that no longer really exists. Thousands of Irish immigrants died in the 1840s-50s in Grosse Ile and in Pointe St. Charles, just over the bridge from where I’m sitting.
Archives for March 2000
This is happening:
Who: passerby, Ed’s weblog, harrumph!, mikel, Eleven Seconds.
What: The First Spectacular Montreal Webloggers 5 à 7 (or something like that).
When: Tuesday, March 21, 6pm (“5 à 7” is the category of soirée, not the time!) or so – any time is good though if 6 is too early.
Where: Else’s Bar. Roy corner de Bullion, on the South East corner. One of the loveliest bars on the planet.
Hope everyone can make it. If there’s any doubt about which table to join, just ask for me at the bar, I’m known to most of the staff at Else’s, for better or worse. In fact I’m going there right now for my traditional Friday after-work drink.
Webby nomination!
I just found out that Café Utne, a site I’ve worked on for almost 5 years, has been nominated for a Webby award in the Community category. It’s a little strange in that the category is a bit of a dog’s breakfast of totally different types of sites. But pretty cool. I’ve literally spent thousands of hours there, and it’s my primary online home. I mean, other than this!
It’s O’Hare.
Heather writes about a 19 hour travel ordeal at harrumph!. I had a 17 hour marathon myself on my way down to Anaheim, and I was stuck in Chicago as well. Luckily, I found the bar at the O’Hare Hilton. Also lucky was to make $450 in travel vouchers from United.
Is it time
to have a little Montreal weblog gathering? My suggestion would be to meet at Else’s for Mexican Laundrettes and Guinness. Let me know – you know who you are.
