Registration and Accommodations

You can get the registration forms (one for the event and barbecues, one for accommodations in the residence) from an MMM Subscribe-O-Matic (history button when you click). Find one at Nitida Ridge or at some of the gigs of participating musicians.

We've removed the pdf forms that were linked here; they were problematic for too many people.

Details of accomodations:

Stewart Hall Residence is located on the John Abbott College campus which is a 5-minute walk from the concert hall where the Meetup will take place. There is public transport a stones throw from the front door that will take you to downtown Montreal in less than an hour should you have some time to take in the sights. You can also get door to door from the airport to the residence using public transport.

This is BASIC NO FRILLS dorm style accommodation but the location is fantastic for our event and the price is very reasonable.

  • The apartments consist of 2 bedrooms ..each having two single beds.
  • There is a small SHARED kitchen and dining area, and a SHARED bathroom.
  • There is wireless internet access and a telephone for local calls and long distance calling card use.
  • The rooms do not have air conditioning but large windows and a breeze off the lake will probably be all you need.
  • Linens and towels are provided but you must bring your own soap and shampoo.
  • There is plenty of parking.
  • The kitchenettes are bare so I suggest throwing a coffee cup and cutlery into your luggage...we'll dig up some paper plates. (Bree's comment - you won't need to cook on the 2 main event days - the food in the venue is going to be great!)
  • There are several very comfortable common rooms that can be used as well...although we have the venue until 3am!!
  • CHECKOUT time is 12:00 noon

You may opt to share a bedroom or may choose to go single occupancy for a small increase in the daily price.

Prices are as follows:

  • Shared occupancy L$12,500 per day per person
  • Single occupancy L$14,000 per day

MMMv2.0 networking and info sources

There are several options for keeping updated with MMMv2.0 happenings before the event. Registration forms will be made available soon, schedules will be planned, etc.


Happy Networking!


MMMv2.0 venue photos

Here's what the venue looks like - comfortable seating for lots of folks, big windows, a patio, green space, and a bar!









MMMv2.0 dates and location

Dates will be July 29, 30, and 31, 2011 - this is a long weekend in parts of Canada.

The location is similar to the last time, in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec. Inexpensive accomodations will again be available on the Sir John Abbott College campus, and this time, the venue will be on the college grounds rather than in the church hall.


Here is the street address of the college:

John Abbott College
21275 Lakeshore Road
Sainte Anne de Bellevue, Quebec

MMM09 Recap

Here are some of the photo and video links from MMM in 2009. Enjoy - we're making 2011 - MMMv2.0 - even better!

New Blog dedicated to Montreal Musicians' Meetup

Since we're pretty definite about holding this event for a second time, I felt it deserved its own blog.

To recap, the first large meetup of Second Life musicians and fans was MMM09, which happened in a church hall near the campus of Sir John Abbott College on the West Island of Montreal in 2009. People have often said this event set the bar for others to follow. Whether or not that is true, those who were there know that they had a blast, sharing good music, good food, good times. There was much to learn, but overall the event could easily be called a success.
