And, of course you may have heard that Iggy and the Stooges had their entire truck of gear<\/a> stolen from outside the Embassy Suites on St-Antoine on Monday. The truck itself was recovered nearby, empty, on Wednesday. It’s pretty bizarre to me that they parked on the street considering that it’s basic tour smarts to not leave gear out in the van overnight like that. My friends who tour often take valuable stuff inside if they absolutely must park on the street. Plus, the Embassy Suites offers parking, and is very very close to the highway. But, of course nothing justifies theft, so if you’re looking to buy used equipment, be sure it’s not their stuff \u2014 the serial numbers, photos and details are available at the link.<\/p>\n

Some stuff happening this weekend despite the crappy weather:<\/p>\n

Semaine Italienne de Montr\u00e9al<\/a> at locations all over town.<\/p>\n

La F\u00eate Bio-Paysanne<\/a> in St-Michel, which I still plan to make an appearance at, but probably not on bike.<\/p>\n

Repercussion Theatre<\/a> continues their “Theatre in the Park” series with presentations in French and English, rain or no.<\/p>\n

La Grande Rencontre<\/a> festival focuses on diverse presentations of violin.<\/p>\n
