14 new books from Mecanique Generale!

Hey, this is a rough tech assisted translation of an email I received today from an exceedingly busy Jimmy Beaulieu. I blame all oddities on the google translation algorithms and Jimmy’s sense of humour! : - )
Hello-hello, it pains me to Spam you thus… but in a good way.
I want to announce two get-togethers this week.
This evening @ 20h at the Zoobizarre - 6388 St-Hubert, Montreal, corner of Beaubien & St-Hubert, 3 steps from the Beaubien metro stop.
And, this Saturday December 2, @ 17h till 19h, when the kitchen closes. Location [un named] is 205 Saint-Vallier street E, Quebec city.
The first will celebrate the publication of the 5 new Mecanique Generale publications and 9 new ones under the Colossi imprint [a small format chap book series]. The nights festivities will be in the presence of the authors who can make it.
That can also be our “assessment 2006” party, because we published 25 pounds in all this year (12 MG and 13 colossi). In six years, one will have published not less than 55 pounds (29 MG and 26 colossi if one counts Voitures)!!!! It is perhaps the last gathering which one will have before spectacular the burnout that I envisage (meticuleusement) for 2007.
The party will also mark the end of session for my workshop at Cegep Montreal. Who knows, if I am feeling sufficiently pompous, perhaps I will be making a speech!
For those that know and those who do not, Colossus is not a collection of General Mechanics, as it is trying to believe. It is rather his/her small sister with glasses, a shy person, fragile and disturbed, which one discovers with rapture the depth when one tries hard to approach it stylishly in the evening, in the small corner where it hides, almost behind the curtains, close to the fire of hearth, while his/her frivolous older sister disrobes in the vicinity of the powers that be.
Also, I'm trying to start a web comic series on my blog:
See you this evening or Saturday,
Yours
Jimmy
