Boy this brings back memories of being in Montreal with John years ago. We spent so much time on St. Catherine Street that I had all the bars memories. Heh heh heh...

Ooooh

You cut off the bike!
Was it a velo taxi? And it looks like it
had a hub motor in front.

Sorry, just having a bike geek moment...
I am working on a big bike project, and am
just coming down from 3 weeks of TdF.

Cool portrait of Danny. I don't know why, but it has this Manet like quality to it.

I can imagine. It's an amazing neighbourhood. If I hadn't been so busy with festival stuff, I would have visited more of the bars.

Sorry, I cropped the image because it had too many focal points and I wanted to draw attention to the narrow street. Here is the taxi:

I remember sitting in one of the clubs, saying to John, "I can't believe it's 2 in the afternoon, I have a drink in my hand, and there's a naked man in front of me. Life is good."

Wow! Thanks Van!

I'll be busy with my kids for most of August, however Danny and I are talking about going to Turkey Point again this year for Bear Jamboree on August 7 weekend. I probably won't be in Toronto again until at least Labour Day.

It was great spending time with you. Hope you're recuperating fine and getting caught up on rest. :-)

Very nice pictures. It was a pleasure to meet you and Danny, thanks for letting me hang out with you two.

It was great hanging out with you. The Skybar was especially fun. I'm sorry we didn't reconnect at the end of the week. I look forward to the next time.
