Fast Company (content partner of C2-MTL) has dedicated a special advertising section to Montreal in their April 2012 issue. The graphics are playful and right on; It's clear that the 18-page spread (pgs.73-91) was crafted with enthusiasm. I highly recommend you pick up a copy.
To compliment Safian's cool biz updates, I also bought the latest issue of The New Yorker. That Maira Kalman cover is so irresistible. I'm looking forward to reading the Jonah Lehrer (speaking at C2-MTL) article, "ROYAL FLUSH, How Roger Thomas redesigned Vegas" and the piece, "Radical Chic" about the upcoming MET exhibition, Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations. I missed the McQueen exhibit, but this one, is a definite must!
As for the mountain of books below, I would like to take this time to thank the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, it always caters to my literary needs. Do I really plan to read them all?. . . A little here, a little there...it's R&D for C2-MTL.

I really need to get that copy of FastCompany!
Excellent reading list I must say. A book you might like is The Creative Habit, by Twyla Tharp. Or maybe you've read it?
