A while ago, I worked for the Old Port of Montreal. Just as brainless and out of touch as most Crown corporations, it locked out its workers a few years ago. That shit is leotarded! And now, an urban beach with no swimming right by the Clock Tower? You know who hangs out there? Ants with wings. Like a million of them and their babies. They love the cool dark of it. Oh well.

Look at this really stupid video of a beach in Paris. It makes me even less enthused about the Montreal project!

PS: It will cost around $8 to not go swimming.

Val Desjardins, the newest promoter behind Faggity Ass Fridays, is hiring for her new venture, which is being billed as the first queer bar in Montreal (corner of St-Laurent and Bernard). I guess that's true, though all the homo bars (ok, minus L'Aigle Noir) have been unofficially queer. Or maybe she means queer as in leather or denim, cut-off jacket mandatory? Anyway, they're opening in one month! They need:

• bartenders
• managers with experience
