Madness in Montreal

Apologies for interrupting the usual rhythm of posting here. I've been distracted and working hard, and generally worrying about job stuff. Friend Richard was off visiting family. Not sketching tons, which is a shame.

Anyhow, last night, the city went a little crazy. Lots of horns honking and shouting. I took a trip on my bike to check it out and collected the pocket camera movie above, on Sherbrooke Street near Jeanne Mance. There were many more exciting things happening further downtown, such as rioting and burning, and police attacks, but I decided to forgo that (you can check it out [here] from a much braver correspondent). There will be lots on youtube soon, if you click on the above.

Kids were already a little belligerent as they were walking past my place on their way to the game, shouting at old folks, and being generally rowdy. I suppose they take advantage of such events (this was the last game in the first round of hockey playoffs between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins, and the Canadiens won) to raise some hell. Rioting used to happen on Victoria Day. Anyhow, God knows what they're going to do if they actually win the cup.

To cleanse the palate, and return to business as usual, here're drawings of a horse and a couple of girls.
