Upcomming Montreal Jazz Fest.


Hi folks, I've never been to Montreal and never been to its jazz fest.
This year I've found lots of musicians I want to hear and see and some free time to spend in Montreal.
Can yuou please share experiences including lodging, dining and landmarks of Montreal.
I also would want to keep myself on budget and find more affordable hotels let's say away from the city in the 50...60km radius
If any of you plan same please share!

THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT!

How are you getting here, plane, train or automobile?

There is so much to do and see in Montreal during the summer the question is where to start?

Audiophile things to do and see:
There are a lot of good record shops, the one I highly recommend is "Au 33 Tours". It is located in the heart of one of the trendiest boroughs Plateau Mont-Royal on Mount-Royal street east. Once on the street there are all kinds of shops restaurants to check out. Here is the link to the shop http://www.aux33tours.com

Audio shops, again we have more than our fair share in this city. A great one to check out which is close to the Jazz fest site is Coudre de Foudre Audio. It is located three blocks south of the Jazz Fest site on Bleury street. Here is the link http://www.cdfaudio.com/. From there it is few more block south to China town.

I gotta go now, but I'll post more suggestions later.
