Video Description: Colour video, medium closeup of the stage at Bistro 4 (Quatre) (4040 St. Laurent, Montreal, QC, H2W 1Y8, Canada). A single mic stand. The stage, slightly below street level, is set against a full-wall window looking out onto the St. Laurent Blvd. traffic---with both pedestrians and vehicles regularly passing by. The windows from across the street (4067 St. Laurent) are also visible, including an outdoor sign with the word "JETHRO." People frequently pass in front of the camera. When the camera zooms out, a series of decals become visible, with words from the menu such as "DEJEUNER," "CAPPUCCINO," and "TISANE."
