that was on my places of visit but by the time were gonna go there, I was churched out. Is it a cool place to visit or just a huge church with lots of steps?

A huge church with lots of steps. I'm glad I went. I agree about being churched out-- I was in church more in Montreal in 5 days than the last 10 years! :lol:

I'm almost positive this was discussed earlier, but the Quality Inn... a decent place to rest your head? We'll only be there Thursday-Sunday, like everyone else it seems. I'd prefer to stay there and skip the massive Metro exit from that area on the concert nights. I didn't stop by the Quality Inn when we went out to the Hippodrome, but we did walk down near Ruby Foo's, which didn't seem too much further than the Namur station.

I can't wait for these shows!
 
yeah, the quality inn seemed very decent, and half the price of Ruby Foos
 
I'm very excited too! :hyper:

I'll just be going to the Sat show (I should look into getting a ticket at some point...), but I plan on being there Thurs - Sun, so I'll have time to see more of the city. :)
 
Here's a picture of the Hippodrome I took. You can see how open it is. There is a Walmart right behind me :wink:

Thanks for posting the pic - looks perfect. It takes me back to a ZOO TV Outside Broadcast show I saw back in August '92 in Saratoga Springs, NY - similar wide open space. I have never been to a louder concert in my life - every note Adam played on his Bass reverberated around your throat and chest, as did the bass beat of the support band Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - but in a good way!
 
Just noticed on your pic that lights are gonna highlight the track,not the field :huh:...and neither the stands :huh:.It will be interesting to see how they gonna manage the intro.It won't be an issue for the opening band since it's gonna be daylight time..(7pm to 7:45pm)

Just one more thing that's gonna make those shows interesting,i guess.
 
I'll be there! It was sad to postpone our roadtrip up to Montreal, but I think my spontaneous trip to see them in Zurich and Munich next month will help me pass the time :hyper: .

Romi! - we've made reservation at the Quality Inn - Party central in Montreal. Now we just need to find the airfare :doh:

BoMac, let me explain!

My 7 year old son loves the Canadiens, and I have the opportunity to take him to see them. It would be his first NHL game ever...:wink:

It would be hard for me to swing going to U2 and doing this. I guess I could win a lottery....:crack:
 
I've got single GA's to both nights if you do want to go.

With u2 almost officially coming downunder, I think I'll leave my US/Canada trip to just being a trip :)
