My brother is living in Canada at the moment, I hope he partied all with all of you fun Canadians over there!

Verencat · 06-24-2009, 11:57 PM

Ooh, I hope he did too, tonight's show was awesome! Is he in Québec? Most of the action is in the province, but I know Francophone communities in all Canada are celebrating on a smaller scale.

The show is still going on - I can hear it and it's about 2km away from here (long walk back in a dark park filled with partying people) I really wish your brother as more courage than me! 200,000 people in one spot - fun, but over exhausting!

My idiot neighbours have been partying until one o clock and we all have to wake up early.
Hey! party all you want but please, do it without blasting firecracker bombs!!!

ha crotte, je l'ai raté !!

bonne Saint-Jean après coup mais non moins sincère ! j'espère que la tête ne va pas trop mal ce matin, prends une aspirine ou 3 et bois beaucoup d'eau surtout !

Verencat · 06-25-2009, 09:08 AM

Ti-Hi! Merci! Mon truc: deux advils et un grand verre d'eau avant d'aller me coucher! Et comme hier j'ai commencé à trinquer vers 11 heures le matin, à 20 heures j'avais plutôt terminé de boire, alors ce matin, tout va!

c'est pas bête comme système, faudrait que j'essaie ça la prochaine fois !

la fête fut bonne alors ?

Très, très bonne!

Here's some pictures - I was quite far away from the stage, but seeing all the people was great - and this is just a fraction of the crowd, they say this morning we were more than 250,000... Last picture is of La Bottine Souriante, a traditional music group that I know WDE likes - but I don't really think you can actually see the band I'm so far away!

Thanks for the pics VCat. I can just make out some of the band. You have captured the atmosphere of the celebrations.

Right. What she said. But perhaps it's still going on so we're not really very late?

Oh, to be in Québec right now - what a lovely thought!

My trick agains head aches? A glass of water between every alcohol beverages. Tough to get used to but works everytime.

Today less than yesterday. Here it's 34c in the shade and quite humid. I think we're having our summer for a couple of hours.

BTW Thanks for putting that accent on Québec. Nice respectful touch for this celebration.

While I believe in the "add your own damn accents" philosophy, I thought it was appropriate this time. But in the future, yöú čān føřgёt ít!
