Are we left on our own for Christmas?
Contrarily to the crazy consumer that you are, I personally haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet.
Still, I need to buy a minimum number of things. Not for me, for other. You see, knowing how knowledgeable I am in all things cool in Montreal, other people mandate me to purchase their gifts, and then go on vacation while I am left slaving-off in Montreal.
The sad reality is, I have no idea where to begin. I did a quick search in all the “real media” out there, and there is nothing. We’ve been left on our own.
Last year, we just published a link to the Montreal Mirror’s Christmas shopping guide. This year we have nothing to link to yet. Come-on “real media”! Get cranking. So we can link and re-link and blog, re-blog and re-tweet it all.
Until then, I came upon this amazingly interesting blog about Montreal’s sewer and underground: UnderMontreal. If Andrew Emond, the author of UnderMontreal, publishes a book about his explorations of Montreal’s underbelly, it would be a crazy amazing Christmas gift.
Another idea, how about a Cesária Évora CD? She was a great voice in a see of bland commercialism (wow, that is deep, but seriously, she was amazing).
