Hi everyone!
This is my first post after lurking for a while and enjoying reading you all.
I have just returned from a trip to Montreal and wanted to recount my experiences.
I was expecting to spend most of my time at Stock since first going there in March and being wowed by the magnetic Gatuso, but I arrived early so went over to Campus first - not knowing what to expect.
I am glad I did. After a slowish start things got going quickly after 10pm with so many dancers! I ended up staying the whole night (and then passing large portions of Friday and Saturday nights there too).
My bank balance won’t thank me but I must have had private dances with a good dozen of their dancers by the end of the weekend. A special mention to Brandon, Mike, Dave and Charles for being extra special (to my taste anyway), but there really is someone for every taste.
I was a solo visitor and once it was seen that I was partaking in private dances I did attract a fair bit of (overwhelmingly welcome) attention from the dancers, but there is one thing I found a bit difficult at times, and that was making it clear I wasn’t interested.
Sometimes I made no effort to attract a guy’s attention and they would engage me in conversation. I then found it difficult to communicate that I wasn’t really interested. When the inevitable question came about whether I wanted a dance, I would say something about “maybe later” hoping they would get the hint (I’m English, we are polite!) but it was often interpreted literally! One dancer was quite put out when “later” never arrived and made a great show of ignoring me completely the next day!
Anyway, on my last night I did venture over to Stock and whilst it is undoubtedly quieter, I really didn’t mind since I was only there for Jasper and Jasper alone. Sharing one or their more private booths with him was heaven and well worth the trip alone.
A word about booths - whilst there isn’t really a curtain at Campus the booths are still quite well tucked away and I didn’t really feel on display at all.
All in all, I would agree that Campus is on a roll. But I also agree with an earlier contributor who said that Campus is also good for getting “numbers for later”. It is a system which benefits both parties and is a lot more fun than a certain website!
Anyway, thanks for the great site and I hope to return to Montreal once my bank balance has healed! 😉
