A bit off topic, but I just found out that UFC 83 is scheduled for April 19th in Montreal. This is huge for people like myself who’ve been following one of the fastest growing sports in North America. There are plenty of locals into MMA and the turn-out for the first UFC event to take place is sure to be spectacular. George St. Pierre being a Montreal native is sure to drive up the popularity of this event, though I wouldn’t be surprised if out-of-town MMA fan’s try to get in on the first UFC event to ever be held in Canada. Expect me to be there for Montreal UFC 83!

Monday, February 4th, 2008Boston Bachelor Party
Friday, February 1st, 2008Recently an article in the Boston Globe discussed the industry emerging around Boston Bachelor Party groups deciding to take trips abroad to celebrate instead of doing it locally. The article talks about the scale of some of these trips, varying from a brief stay in Vegas to weeks in an island paradise. Montreal is mentioned as one of the popular destinations and a local Bachelor Party planner and VIP service provider talks about how guys tend to spend more time these days planning their Bachelor Party then they used to. The press attention is no surprise to me. But it is only a matter of time before it stops being North America’s best kept secret, as more people discover Montreal.
