It seems like we're just getting warmed up in more than one way, Montreal.
This will become clearer with a little look behind the curtain: When we pull together the Bulletin for the next week, we've more or less got a good idea of everything that we want to feature. We've got our tips, tricks, and spooky figures shrouded in trenchcoats and alleyways to get our info from.
But this weekend? Man oh man did it never seem to stop, even when we did our darnedest to curate it. Events, notifications and announcements that places were back open for businesses were flying at us every which way. We had to borrow a pair of blinders from an SPVM horse just to stay focused and get this edition done.
