Wrestled with the public transportation system today in order to get to the prodigal jam but just gave up in hopeless despair. Pointe Claire is VERY far away -- clear across the island -- and to get there there are dozens of options, none involving anything easy.
Add into that a hot day, hot sun, lugging a guitar, a three-hour wait for a commuter train (okay, I should have checked the schedule before I left), a nice bus driver's wrong directions and another wait for a bus that never came and I'd had it.
I'd have taken a $50 taxi ride but after 20 minutes, not a single taxi came by that was unoccupied.
So . . . just to jam with a bunch of guys? Verdict: not worth it. The dude who set it up must have known that there were many people near downtown without transport and could have set up some kind of carpooling but obviously didn't care very much.
So neither do I.
