1. POLO (Paul)2. Mr. & Mrs. Arcsvibe (Sam & Tammy)And just to give you some background on the met area here it is:Great ball of fire >> Hot dogs, hot rods and hot summer nights at the Orange Julep by SARAH MUSGRAVE In terms of roadside attractions, the Orange Julep is Montreal’s crowning glory. It was built in the 1940s by a gastronomic visionary named Hermas Gibeau. Apparently, he intended to live in the three-storey sphere with his wife and kids, while the counter below did a brisk trade in his already-popular foamy citrus beverage. This was in the heyday of car culture, before the Décarie expressway was considered one of the worst urban planning fiascos in the city’s history. Back then, instead of envisioning an (removed) artery spewing exhaust fumes onto the concrete wasteland above, architects imagined people promenading along the top, window shopping in boutiques and sipping G&Ts on terrasses. Ugly as its surroundings may be, for more than 60 years the bright orange ball has successfully beckoned to the thirsty and the hungry. The big news this year is that the Julep has expanded considerably. It’s still 40 feet in diameter, but the menu has widened dramatically to offer a veritable cornucopia of fast food, available 24 hours a day on site or by delivery. As for the juleps themselves, no worries-it’s the same old secret formula. The sweet, creamy, frothy drink is piped out from the top of the structure in small to extra-large formats ($1.73–7.25). Nutritious and delicious, each glass contains a good dose of vitamin C, a bunch of carbs and supposedly no fat. The original recipe is now also offered with other fresh fruits blended in, like pineapple, strawberry or banana, but I’m too much of a purist to try any of these newfangled variations. For me, the unadulterated julep is the taste of summer in the city-besides maybe a gulp of chlorinated water from a public pool, a lungful of tar from a roof job up the street, or the thick sweet smell of freshly cut grass. All the other classic orders are still available, too: decent hot dogs, pogos, hamburgers and fries. I was relieved to find that the greasy goodness of the onion rings has remained intact. We tried a couple of new items to go with them. The salmon burger ($6 with fries, slaw and a medium julep), a square breaded patty with a lightly crunchy exterior and moist pink fish inside, was pretty darn good. The chicken burger, on the other hand, made with slices of meat, was bland and disappointing. The new menu also features a number of sandwiches, from the standard club to spareribs to Debreceni or Italian sausages. We sampled the roast beef sandwich ($3.95), which turned out to be surprisingly yummy-thin slices of tender meat cooked up with onions, topped with melted cheese, served on a submarine-style bun with your choice of regular or Dijon mustard. In addition to an array of gross-looking poutines with meat sauces, pizzas and breakfasts, the kitchen has also branched out into Asian dishes, but I can’t imagine eating a microwaved stir-fry in the shadow of a glowing orb. Far easier to manage are sweet treats like banana splits ($3.25) and cones of soft swirly ice cream that any self-respecting roadside attraction should have. For car-side service, you can place your order with the roller girls, or alternately take a seat at one of the picnic tables. In an extension of the same automotive adulation that first inspired this eye-catching structure, the Julep hosts classic car and motorbike enthusiasts on Wednesday nights. It’s worth stopping by to check out the meticulously maintained vintage wheels.

At first, when I saw comments by people, such as:"July 15th?? a friday? well no prob for me either, just have to be after 6PM, before that I will be at work or on my way to Montreal..."or"ya me too, pas de trouble pour le 23 juilllet. where? I propose Orange Julep on Decarie before, I know the parking is big, and each Thrusday evening, all mods cars go there, so they are use to have that kind of meeting."I taught, the meeting will take place in the evening, since everybody is running like crazy shopping on Saturday, so I taught that 12h00PM, was midnight for you (a bit late, but that is OK, for VIBE creature of the nights), but I guess you meant "Noon", isn't ?

So,mission accomplish For a first meets,it was great.Thanks guys,who have come,and the others we will see in the next meet.All was perfect,finally we where 9 if i remember well.It was very fun,thanks guy's who make possible,like Sam Sorry,maybe i was not very talk able due i wasn't sleep for the last 24hours,but i don't wanted to miss this meet.So,now when we talk on the forum,we know with who we talking physically. So,the next meet we talk will be at Quebec.The spot will be decided soon.So stay tune.Soon,i will put pictures of the meet.
