Still crazy busy. I’ll spare you the details and move onto the more interesting stuff.

Last night, I met one of our wonderful designers to discuss the style we’re shooting for. It was much easier to do so in person than by e-mail. I simply showed them a bunch of flyers that I gleaned in London and Berlin and went through different examples of what I would and wouldn’t print on a T-shirt.

After the meeting, I swinged by Boulevard Saint-Laurent, aka La Main, the nightlife HQ of Montréal. With not too many good choices on a Wednesday night, I went with the fail-safe option and headed to A GoGo Lounge.

As soon as I entered, the bouncers immediately directed me to the cloakroom, a growing practice in Montreal. I suppose bars need to make extra money during the cold season.

The review from the World’s Best Bars describes GoGo Lounge very well. I can also add that it draws mainly a 25+ clientele, has eye-catching staff (very common in Mtl), and is known for its long queues at weekends. Here’s a very, very short clip:

After a few drinks and a chat with a friendly staff, I planned to check out Radio Lounge, which welcomes every Wednesday a local celebrity to bartend. But noticing the student mob lined up, I decided it was best to grab dinner (big mistake: it left the same way it entered. And yes, I eat with my mouth) and hit the sack.
