WHY? I spoke to Phillipa about this a couple of weeks back, and trust me, they're not happy about the situation. Basically, the venue they were supposed to use (sorry, I can't remember the name, I'm not a Montrealer) fell through, and the only place they could find as a back-up venue that was interested was a LOT smaller than they wanted. So don't hold it against them, they tryed as hard as they could. On a similar note - they had problems finding a venue in Toronto as well, and ended up having to book it a sa late night event (2 AM - 7 AM) in the side room of a larger party/rave of some sort. Major suckage for old farts like me who are usually home & in bed by 2 AM. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to have a nap that afternoon... Greg
