Le Pays Qui N'existe PasOn sunday we had the first read- through of the script written by Marc Boutin. The story is about a young boy, Roch who grows up in a poor inner city neighborhood.  His mother works as a prostitute for Alain Grappain who runs his Prostitution business under the guise of a car wash.  Roch has no father so he is left alone most days to entertain himself in the streets.

The other day I needed to get some cheapie electronic parts for my video installation.  I was told that there were two good places in Montreal.  Addison  and Abra Electronics.  I decided to go to Abra, I was not disappointed.Although a little difficult to find...a maze of highways, the crossroads where Route 40 and 15 collide, once I arrived I found a safe little haven of friendliness and cool
