Show Starts in a Few Hours

Make that an hour and 15 minutes. Still have to go down and get our baaaAAAAaaadges.

We hear that ths s the first year that this show is headquartered in the Le Centre Sheraton here in Montreal. It was in the 40s last night, though breezy, as we huffed it to China Town for an… OK… dinner – next time we hopeflly won’t be so hungry that we go into almost the first place we find.

On our walk back we got to wade through a number of hockey fans leaving last night’s game. Maybe Canadians are just more polite than us Yanks, or maybe the $250+ price tags for tickets leaves no money for the consumption of alchohol, or maybe they won the game, but everybody seemed in a very nice mood.

They put us on floor 8, where quite a lot of the exhibits are. Cool! During the night we could hear first one system start up and then another. Seems like once a system is up and functioning, they want to ‘blow out the exhast pipes’ so to speak, and see what the SPL boundries are. [Our room at RMAF is so large, I think the SPLs to ‘blow out the exhaust pipes’ of our system there are way above the SPL limits the Denver Mariot hotel sets. But hey, this is the big city, real estate, and large rooms, is expensive here!]

Which gets me to the next point, these rooms are pretty small. If they are anything like our hotel room, most of them will be about 12 feet by 15 feet plus the entry way. The walls are pretty thick, though, as none kept us up all night with their rock and/or roll… 🙂
