Formula WE and Jazz Fest are ZOOs
Jim,
My experience is that formula weekend is the pits. Its equivalent to going to Rio during Carnival. All of the local services are overburdened if they are functioning at all. If you have your mind set on seeing a good provider, I'd email for an appointment now. I do that anytime I go to Montreal, or for that matter any city. Consdering that I'm going 2700 miles to enjoy the city, I like to make sure I get the best of everything it has to offer. Having a known good date lined up, can make all the difference.
The crowd for the Jazz fest, which is the time I usually go is a little more mellow, although you can bet all the establishments are booked up. Hotels are at a premium, you name it..those cheap rates are no where to be found inside the city. In fact, I would highly suspect any agency that claims to have decent women available over that weekend at a last minute is bullshitting you..LOL.
Regards,
EBS
