Au Revoir Montreal
Our last day in Montreal was spent shopping for friends, visiting some of our favorite places in Chinatown and along the Port. We loved our stay in Montreal and will miss it! Au revoir...
Librairie Fichtre - in the posh Plateau District
One of the coolest comic books shops!Lots of hard to find titles from artists that have been featured in Heavy Metal magazine for years.
This graffiti is a landmark.

Troop movements.
Sir Galahad: What are you doing in England?
French Soldier: Mind your own business.
----------The Holy Grail.
Wednesday-Big day ahead-Quick eats
There are several small hole in the wall shops with cheap food.
Very tasty.
Remember to ask for ketchup.
Up, up, up the observation tower.
An elevator on the outside of the Olympic Park Stadium took us up to the Observation Tower. Despite a storm that moved in just as we headed up it gave a great view if the city from all sides.

du dollar store
Here's the reason I came to Montreal.I've been looking all over for this damn thing.
Place des Arts fountain
People gather there on the lunch hour
to relax. We soaked our feet in the water (as others were doing) to cool down which was refreshing.
Downtown Square
The sun came out and we decided to head out side after walking a few miles through the underground malls.
Monday-Riding on the Metro
It was a dark and stormy morning...
so we decided to go to the underground city via the metro.
Wishing fountains
After having a late supper at a Thai restaurant around the corner, we walked to a private plaza for a nightcap.
Circus in the park
They were doing Batman and Robin stunts like flipping from pole to pole and rolling down to the ground end over end.
The Mechanical Man
This is my favorite street performer.
I don't know if the camera picked up the sound but when he moves, he make a mechanical "whine" like a Robocop piston effect. How did he do that?

After party at the Delta
There was an enormous line to the party floors, so we played "secret agent" and used the service elevators for the staff (don't turn us in si'l vous plait). Saved us an hour wait. What can I say...lots of booze, lots of food and great conversation. Met folks from around the world... from Norway to St. Louis Park, MN. I didn't take many pics though. We were having too much fun.
nuff said!
L'International des Feux Loto-Fire works competition
After the Masquerade, we watched the fireworks from the convention center rooftop.
The fireworks we in sync to the music. Our favorite was the James Bond theme.
The only downer was some rude ameri-can'ts that were shouting at the people in front of them because they were standing. There were no more seats.
Yeah. If anybody asks...were from Winnipeg, eh?

This 
Man-cave or geek-basement?
These are rooms dresses with wallpaper poster art that is supposed to represent geek man-caves and or Mom's basement.
The Palais des congrès de Montréal
Very modern design. This place has a mall build in the the convention hall. This is the place of the
Anticipation, the 67th Worldcon.
holla!
