Vinyl Bar
Posted by Alban in Montreal » Bars on 31/May/2006
Vinyl Bar (teaser)"Luba Lounge" is gone, and we've been mourning the loss. The next step in our grieving process was to visit Vinyl, which has taken its place on Bleury St. just below Sherbrooke. After a Friday night film fest at Cinema du Parc we decided to check it out.

Mutek 2006
Posted by Slavito in Montreal on 26/May/2006
Mutek 2006 logo From May 31st until June 4th, Montrealers and those who find themselves at the 45th parallel will be able to enjoy the annual jamboree of electronic music and "new technologies" called MUTEK.

This year, the only name I recognize on the program is that of Richie Hawtin (he plays outdoors in Parc Jean-Drapeau on the 4th). That either says something about the festival's inability to attract more headliners or, more likely, it says something about how clueless I've become on the subject of electronic music. Or, possibly, it says both.

Anyway, you now have less than a week to get to Montreal and catch the groove: www.mutek.ca.

Posted by Ree in Montreal » Attractions on 09/Mar/2006
Butterflies One of my favorite words to learn in any language is butterfly - or papillon, flutur, smetterling, farfalla, mariposa.....the onomatopoeic list goes on. The names are as pretty as the butterflies are, so I was intrigued when I heard that one of the greenhouses at the Botanical Gardens in Montreal becomes home for thousands of butterflies during the early spring.

Last night, Montreal played host to the third edition of "The White Night" (La Nuit Blanche) - part of the yearly "Montreal En Lumière" festival program during which a variety of nighttime cultural activities take place in the city, often at reduced prices.

Just to give you an idea of the festivities, I'll tell you how my own "white" night unfolded.

Pullman Bar
Posted by Alban in Montreal » Restaurants + Bars on 24/Feb/2006
Pullman Bar customerI am happy to recommend this cosy, hip (but not slick) wine bar, which despite being located in a place not conducive to any kind of nightlife (with the lights of the Provigo supermarket intruding through the large plate glass windows), offers quite something in other regards.

Provence in Montreal

Nuit Blanche 2005
Posted by Slavito in Montreal » Activities on 23/Feb/2005
Something you might want to consider this Saturday if you're in Montreal and are into electronic music, video, and freebies: a free performance at the National Film Board where one of my friends will be VJ'ing.

Knowing that I am now based in Montreal you, of course, expect me to send in aesthetically pleasing images of Notre-Dame Basilica, the statue of Admiral Nelson or, should worse come to worse, the Palais des Congrès. And I am just going to be different and difficult, once again...
