comme chantait  Robert Charlebois : "Je reviendrais à Montreal  pour voir les 'Giant Vicious Rats'

 

By the way, last year at this prog.fest, we had a lot of fun, before, during and after the shows; a safe place to be. I went there alone, and I met a lot of interesting and fun people    

I`ll eat my underwear if the habs could even win a ping pong tournament against a group of retarded  monkeys. The habs are a done deal they`ll never come back. Look at Carbnoneau he`s always staring at that stupid clock the clock. I am always saying " look there he goes again, looking at the F****** clock ",just wanting  to get the inevitable humiliation over with as quick as possible . Believe me when I was a kid I lived and breathed the habs but sad but true they`re only part of Montréal folklore these days. It will take some sort of wierd monumental miracle for them to win a cup even in the next ten years. I`ll have to admit, though, the squirrels are one of the few things that I stll really like about Montréal.

So if you don`t live here, pay taxes here, have to put up with all the nonsense for the better part of 365 days a year that I`ve been describing ( and believe me there are a lot of Montréalers just like myself who are FED UP ) I don`t see how you can go on on about what a Utopia this dump is. I think most of the people who have been participating in this insane thread about this ridiculous festival don`t live here either. I`ve been to Moscow ,had a good time, but I wouldn`t say it`s the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel or sliced cheese based on my experiences as a tourist. You wouldn`t believ how some tourists are treated by some of the local populance here ( especially if they can`t speak French ).
 Just last week, for example while walking with a friend, I overheard a cab driver wanting to charge an American couple $45  ( the going rate is $25 ) to go from downtown out to Pierre Elliot Trudeau ( the name of the Montréal international airport ), and over and above that he wanted to charge them an additional $20 for each piece of luggage! My car was parked nearby so I drove them out there free of charge. The cabbie wasn`t too happy. I took down his licence # and told him to take up another profession which requires no more than a grade two education before I reported him to his company.. This is just one example of what has been happening in this once fair city which makes me so sick.

First she wants me to live in The United States now it`s Afghanistan or India All these choices. Actually at least in Kandahar I wouldn`t have to worry about ferocious giant rats, maybe a stray rocket or incoming artillery shell that`s about all. I could deal with them. But giant rabid  rats give me the heebee geebees

The only ridiculous thing here is your ignorant commentary about a festival you have not attended. You went to the jazz festival and didn't enjoy yourself (hard to believe with such a positive outlook on life) so therefore every festival must be the same?

On the bright side, at least you kept this thread on the top page for a while with your "contributions".

Thanks to everyone who attended (and played for us!) this year, it was a lot of fun to see all the basket cases at our insane and ridiculous event :).
