I: Arrival

Let the fun begin! The train out was lovely: we didn't have to get up too early and still got a full day in Montreal. Katherine's high school friend Dan picked us up at the station. After lunch we met Fluffy the millipede, who is just charming. Dan's a really nice guy, on top of being considerate enough to let two vagrants like us crash in his res room. In the afternoon Katherine and I tooled around Montreal (Dan was studying). We found a really awesome travel book emporium and a beatnik record store with a section of "Various Moog" and about a frillion Nana Mouskouri LPs. After refreshments and a quick nap in a coffee shop, we took the Metro (like big girls!) to CEPSUM for the Great Lining Up, only to find that about 150 other people had gotten there even earlier. Evidently Montreal people are hardcore about their concertgoing. Above: I represent the huddled masses yearning to be free at the feet of James McGill, while Katherine poses like a grownup.
