Montreal GT meet - Page 2

I can always take a bus to Montreal. I just happen to live close to the terminus of an express bus route to Montreal. I got rid of my car when I went back to school... so I'm kinda limited in my movements.

Waiting for school to start makes sens if you consider that it's the time of the year where students get back to Montreal. But it's also a very busy period where we get back to class... So I don't know. I suppose it's a question of matching everybody's schedule.

I actually never heard the M50.

And yes, a week or two before class start would be a good time for me. Sometimes at the end of August?

I have absolutely no idea. I'm not from Montreal, and I barely know the place. I'm hoping devouringone3 can come up with something. He could probably find a room at UdM.

Hum it's always a tight transition for me, leaving my job, packing my things and going back to school.

I'll see what I can do though! See if I can enter my residence one week before the 27 when school starts.

Yes finding a room won't be a problem for me ;), it'll be on the campus of the University of Montréal, it would be easy to just take an empty class (make sure in advance that its empty) inside my school, but really I'd like to reserve and have the residence's party room unlocked for us.

Really I'm only worried about the power bars we'll need, I suggest we all bring some sort of divisor/extension to be able to make use different wall outlets, in the room we'll end up with.

Bring all the friends you want, tell them I have an upgraded Grado HP2i :P it'll surely peak there interest no?

I'll be glad even if we're not many though. Smaller Head-Fi meet means we'll be able to get to know ourselves better! Kim you will be good to find a transport??

It will be tricky if you want to bring your gear, although I'm not too scared because none of us has anything really too huge to carry.

Ah I didn't know you were working this summer. I thought you were taking a more serious break.

Good call about the power bar and extension cord. I had not thought about this issue.

You're sure you'll be able to get a room/class for free?

I'll just take the bus and then the metro. Good thing UdM is right by a metro station. I plan on bringing everything you see in my signature, plus my laptop. I still don't know how I'll pack all this up for transport though.

Yep I'm busboy (and security agent, just to "les dépanner" when they need) at touristic complex La Dam-en-Terre.

Well I've done some LAN party and the general rule is that you get only one outlet, so you need to figure out what you want to do with it :P, what are your electrical need, and yeah, bring your "bar".

I'm fairly positive (almost 100%) I'll be able to get a room class for free. I will fight to death, pay myself, or do both if required :P. Even if all my plans for having our own fancy room with couches and decent lighting fails, each of he ~20 floors of the residences has a large (larger than like 10 Head-fiers would really need) never used --other than for some exceptional occasion, like us-- living-room with 2-3 square tables, 5-6 chairs, and we can bring the ones from the floors under if needed.

Yeah me too it's very much just the stuff in my signature. Something like a suitcase full and a back pack, of gear.

And I'll have my friends to help me carry stuff (not to mention I don't have big desktop systems... yet, but I definitely want to try some of yours xD)
And what date were you thinking?
I'm in Cegep right now and we might start at different times.

Yeah I'm mentioning HP2i because it's my best headphones, and a rare one too.

But I don't think your friends have heard about it haha.

Date?! Hum, wait. I still need to contact the residences to ask them if I can arrive in advance and pay them the extra days. I'm very positive they'll agree though, I've already did that. I would give myself one full week.

Personally I start school on Monday the 27th of August. So virtually any date between the 20 and the 27 would do. Let's vote for one, or agree unequivocally if we can.

I will start redirecting all Head-Fiers I know from Québec to this thread :P, yo can do the save if you know any.

Just right of my head I can think of only one, Dleblanc__(numbers), but I know there are more currently active on here, and if  you search for the threads of the past Montréal Head-Fi meets (there was a small surge of popularity for these in 2007-2008) there was quite a few guys. I will charge myself of PMing them all. Some might respond if they have e-mail notification still on :P

Jeez you start early! lol.

Hum, I could arrive on the 17th too, but I'm not as positive I'll be able to quit my job easily at that point, they'll still need me.

We can do it on the 25-26 last weekend of August?
