JFL: Bad news for cheap bastards!
We don’t know what we’re going to do! Is it possible we won’t be attending the Just For Laughs Festival this year? We’re melting down… it’s the end of an era!
They changed the HQ hotel for the Festival JFL– It’s no longer the Delta! It’s been changed to the Hyatt Regency! Quelle horreur… or however you spell it! The Hyatt’s way over on Jeanne Mance… or however you spell it. Way past Bluery… on the other side of Ste. Catherine. It’s jolted the whole Comedy Festival World out of alignment.
We’ll no longer be staying within convenient staggering distance of the Delta… or, rather, the festival’s main venue will no longer be within convenient staggering distance of our beloved Royal Vic!
This changes things. Perhaps we’ll hafta make an actual effort to get in the festival!
As things stand now, it’s just wildly inconvenient… or too expensive… or an excruciating combination of both. Hmmm…

That’s pretty good info you guys get. 😉And just when staying at the Royal Vic was starting to become a “thing”. What am I going to do without the fire alarm going off at 4am and forcing me onto the sidewalk with 150 Asian music camp attendees and their violas, all the while looking for the two of you only to find that you’re still at the Delta Bar?!? (Ok, so maybe I won’t miss ALL of it.)My evening of cross-referencing TripAdvisor with Google Maps has been fruitless. Looks like the cheapskates’ options are to a) walk it, or b) act like teenages and pile into the Hyatt 10 per room.
My guess is it will finally be possible to walk through the Delta Bar at 1AM in LESS than 30 minutes. It just won’t be the same…I think we should all get together and do a Shecky Comedy Festival at the Delta…it’s available!
Just make sure you get plenty of great pics with that daguerreotype you carry around!
