and for the bonus points...... who produced the album and did the cover art which featured a cling vinyl banana peel over top a flesh coloured printed banana sans peel?

Andy Warhol!

edit: damn. I am 3 pages too late. That's what you get for being away from BF for a day.

I just have my cheese imported from quebec, make my own fries, st-hubert poutine sauce and stuff my face.
As for the line at the deli if there is a long line you may be excused from not eating in but try to make a point of going and soaking up the place. Eat the pickle. Yes to Warhol, 'cept Jeremy answered aaaaages ago. Props to ya though, just 'cuz you know.

TRaffic Jammer 06-02-06 02:08 PM

Also: I ****ing love that they've got no-attitude BYO at restaurants in Montreal. We went to this Italian place (just off St. Denis I think) and bought a nice bottle around the corner beforehand. Such a great meal.

zut alors indeed! not sure if a montrealer would be caught dead eating a madagascar or mexican poutine though! a fast food joint in japan called first kitchen had poutine on their menu. it was...interesting. tj, there are plenty of faces to be poutine-stuffed here.

it's not just one venue and not just at night. a lot of events and different artists showing up. i'm going for the music but also to meet some friends from japan who aren't ;) mutek.ca

TRaffic Jammer 06-02-06 02:11 PM

well .... I might have to have a massive bag O ' Cheese sent then.....
As Poutine is such a staple I'm sure alot of people have mixed it up fusion style. Not sure if I'd wanna base a business on it.
Have a great time, say hello to all the Montreal girlies.

Nice Japanese place on Prince Arthur...but it would be the last place in the world your Japanese friends would wanna be.

I didn't check the lineup this year. Anyone especially interesting playing? (fairly open question since I have no idea what you're into)

edit: form-topic related: http://www.mutek.ca/2006/artiste.php..._id=speed_bike

:P

TRaffic Jammer 06-02-06 02:20 PM

TBN? Is Operator feeling neglected?

32flavours 06-02-06 02:20 PM

Are you riding fixed? I may be up for a short jaunt. I have dinner plans.

Bah. On second thought, I should be a good little worker bee and stay in. Hope you find a riding buddy.

TRaffic Jammer 06-02-06 02:23 PM

She's primping for her date.

32flavours 06-02-06 02:24 PM

With your mom.

TRaffic Jammer 06-02-06 02:26 PM

Go girl...... say hi to her for me pls.
Gonna have to do better than that..... :lol:
I wonder if my step-father knows .... he'd totally LOVE that.
Don't do it 32...she's not worth it ..... you'll be 40 and she'll be .....ancient

Regardless of what everyone is doin' be it dinner, travellin', ridin' or just pokin' about ... have a great FRiday night folks and a good week-end to all yous guys and girls.

actually, i was totally looking at that! no explanation of his name though.. hmm, richie hawtin is playing ricardo villalobos..looks like a battle. i'm going with a fairly large group of techno heads so i'll be at their mercy. of course i'm looking for any excuse to take off and eat. mmm, smoked meat, bagels, hotdogs and poutine. i think i'll need to sneak into the 75km ride for heart to burn off the calories.

Anyone want to go for a ride right now or in the next couple hours? I'm going to be chilling DT for a bit.

So are you saying your now riding a fixie?

Shiznaz 06-02-06 02:38 PM

How much would you guys say an old set of sugino mighty competition double cranks are worth?

32flavours 06-02-06 02:44 PM

Are you selling them? Because if you are, they're worth 1 dollar and you should sell them to me.

TRaffic Jammer 06-02-06 02:46 PM

^^^^:lol:^^^^^

Shiznaz 06-02-06 02:46 PM

I leave work in a few minutes... Inquiring minds need to know!

Shiznaz 06-02-06 02:57 PM

Forget it... I came to my senses just in time.

Yeah, I've heard the name many times but I've never heard his stuff. He was the drummer for Godspeed You! Black Emperor though, which has always piqued my interest... apparently not enough to actually do much digging though. :P
