Day 22: Montreal
UPDATE!
Travel Canada!
****
Montreal in the Green Room with the best audience I have ever experienced without question. Attentive yet jovial. Respectful yet no-poo-taking. Perfect.
The reading was put together by the wonderful Kate Hall, an underappreciated poet from Montreal who helps run Delirium Press and who can give a 40 foot bus directions through Montreal like the most seasoned cab driver.
Before the reading we had some time so we wandered around, found some great mushroom soup, a tea shop, and a stationary store with staples from the ’50s.
In Montreal, it’s very hard not to comment on how foreign everything seems (the curbs, they have such a je ne sais quoi quality!) but it clearly is the most tiresome thing for people from Montreal to hear. So I will restrain myself.
Everyone was housed graciously and in lieu of a mass mailing of thank you notes, let me just say thank you here and hope it is somewhat sufficient.
On this trip, we cannot say thank you enough. Everyone has been incredibly hospitable.
