The largest English CEGEP in the world!

When [info] Shade used to tell me stories about his time at Dawson, referring to it as "the largest English CEGEP in the world", I never quite grasped the enormity of the phrase; until yesterday that is, when I went to Dawson to meet Alex Somma, who teaches a media course at New School. There are over 8000 students in attendance at this one colossal building in downtown Montreal. Alex has a radio show at Dawson so I got to be his guest. We made up fake news stories to amuse ourselves, since I don't think many people actually listen to the school radio.

Later that day [info] Shade took me to an amazing restaurant called Santropol for dinner. His sandwich had this delicious hot pepper jelly in it so I picked up a wee bottle of the stuff to bring back to this bland Anglophone province for use with SpucChuck. On our way back, I took a picture of this crazy street that had 1-way signs pointing in both directions! When we got to his place, [info] Finn was over so I had an engaging & entertaining conversation with them & their mother, lubricated by a lot of wine.
