My best experience of about 25 tricks qualitatively in Brazil these past months, unrelated to the appeal of lower rates overall, but just simply an extremely edifying sexual encounter in a structured setting with stable fixed charges, was a full hour at USD$60 that included 20% tip (not that I just got the tip). I don’t know what he turned over to the venue but I think he kept $40-50 for himself. In my neck of the woods I would consider this a $300-400 guy and he could easily bank $1,000+ in a Montreal strip club. Gorgeous and a natural vibe. He did not seem to be of desperate circumstances, had his own vehicle to get to the setting, and spoke a fair degree of English. I think he was in it for lifestyle perks but cars there are very expensive and he would take forever to cover that cost at what he was earning.

It looks like bars re-open Mon 28 Feb, earlier than I thought. Likely Campus that day but I don’t know if it will be an unusually busy night considering 2 months of shutdown and clients chomping at the bit. Still some restrictions I believe in capacity but less so Mar 14th. It has been at least 24 months since I had a private dance in The Village.

Hahahah … I realize it was off-point and really just about adaptive bridging.

Looks like strip clubs end of Feb, and restricting dancing has never applied to stage peeling or the private 2-step lap shuffle.

I got stir crazy after 21 months though I like my place downtown and preparing meals, exercising, and streaming had been keeping me reasonably occupied. Fucked off right after New Years, and 2 weeks following 2nd mRNA dose of entire prime series I had deferred (long story), to winter in Brazil. Hoping to land to Spring stripper crotches beginning to sprout up in my face though I have already put a lot of solid fixes behind me here.

It appears that the migration/health form must be completed for entry to Colombia but, perhaps counterintuitively, also in order to leave Colombia. I think this also holds true for Dominican Republic and possibly other nations as well. So attend to exit documentation while attending to USA entry documentation.

I didn’t pay much attention but I realize now there is a flurry of controversial skepticism about it.

I’ll put this here for lack of a better place … Dancer about town Campus/Stock Malik bottoms; it hard [sic] to happen. MEN

I live in Montreal. I have seen a negligible amount of known dancers on Rentmen. The handful there over the past 12-18 months were registered pre-pandemic. Most providers wouldn’t pass a Campus or Stock audition. It’s good news for me as there have been no temptations. I am scheduled for prime dose SARS-CoV vaccine next month as I have been able to maintain quarantine-lite but now plan to travel. I unblinded within a trial, was in the control group, and need to be properly inoculated.

… target one personally, it’s all worth it. Though the incontinence applies, one is well past menopause.

Oh, makes sense as neighbours and much mutual movement. I thought it might be international and ease return home. I don’t travel to USA.

Can somebody in return please briefly relay whether this Nexus thing or an equivalent applies to a Canadian like me, making travelling easier, and what is the process?

I saw the 747 restriction (see screenshot) but went to STM trip planner trying a weekend and a weekday and all the stops are functioning, not just for outside subway hours. I called STM and rep said all is functioning. She could not find the same restriction I found on their site. I also could not find an equivalent page to screenshoot for downtown to YUL direction, so not sure whether L-G is the default embarking. She said things changed related to the pandemic on Aug 23rd, so it is perhaps now an outdated restriction. Sorry it’s still ambiguous. I’m a block from René-Levesque so I’ll sit with a coffee sometime this week for intel recon.

BTW according to the press conference yesterday you will need proof of address outside of Quebec along with ID and vacc documents. Not everybody keeps address proof on their person. I don’t have such info on my typical photos IDs so I usually use a tax statement.

It’s a bit confusing because there may be only certain provincial sites that do it and it appears you have to fill out the online form to figure out where, etc …

I think that being organized on paper is a solid start, maybe a screenshot of your photo ID positioned next to your vaxx receipts. I think that by that 3rd weekend the kinks should be worked out and most venues will have had to screen Ontarians. They want your business. I am personally disqualified because my vaccination trial site is just giving me a cover letter that likely won’t be worth the paper it is typed on. I am not too perturbed and won’t be carrying a placard and marching about it. There are rumblings that vaccination sites may be equipped to issue cards or QR matrix codes to out-of-province visitors. This would be the closest, the next closest being Palais des Congrès.

Montreal is back to case levels of three months ago, when restrictions were not lifted or about to be. Right now is a window of time without restraint, and relatively higher risk of transmission, as it’s a ‘last hurrah’ before the vaccination mandate for venues kicks in for the Labour Day weekend.

More developments, though still in progress, for Quebec vaxx passport equivalency for tourists. Authorities still trying to see if it can be worked out for foreign nationals through the ArriveCAN app. They are also looking into whether those visitors or those from other provinces can bring their verification to a provincial vaccination site and be issued a QR matrix code … or a card, as Québecois will also have the option of a card as opposed to a smartphone code. The vaxx sites are not too busy and accommodate walk-ins. Still, it will likely take some time for those staff to get up to speed on what to do with such requests.

I’m Canadian but Americans I know have had to provide negative NAAT to re-enter USA, at least for trips where the USA-based test expires and cannot be used to return. There is also a complicated distinction based on days not hours. You need RT-PCR and vaccination to enter Canada, and need complete the ArriveCAN app, but I understand a negative antigen test will suffice for going back. However, the standard test in Canada is PCR so I don’t know how you’d pick a different NAAT option Canada-side; we don’t do antigen here to accommodate the American more flexible set of test criteria. Why don’t you research it rather than banking on somebody here to experientially describe the process? USA entry regulations for nationals are clearly laid out by your own government. As of Sept 1st Quebec you will need a ‘vaccination passport’ to go places, that still needs to be fine-tuned in terms of how non-Quebecois will be assessed, scanned, etc. It is a new endeavour and the priority is pandemic control not smooth tourism. Expect growing pains and screw-ups that may hit you given your dates. Keep looking up using your words on search engines.

So a leisurely 7 hours of the card game solitaire on the border.

Up until 10:30 PM none of interest to me. A few more to my liking rolled in later than the usual ‘shift change’ days gone by. One a physique competitor dancing a few years now that brought a gym buddy first-timer. Couldn’t dance for his supper, knew it, and hammed it up on stage. Hot enough bod. A Bridezilla would have annulled it all at the point of the wedding reception couple dance. I don’t go week nights. I doubt it flies and I think the DJ has resorted to music videos on the big screen as fillers, between extended durations of dancer absence, judging by Friday evening around 21:00-21:45.

I went to Campus Friday after a few weeks of not bothering. It has certainly picked up in attendance and energy. It appears that women have access all nights now. I have no issue with it and one cannot fault the venue for trying to uptick capacity. You may recall that 281 Club for them closed a few years ago. Campus now charging entry again $6.00 on Friday; I don’t know what other nights. I did not go into Stock but there was still none of the past spilling out of dancers outside in front that had usually conveyed the ambiance inside. BREAKING: ‘vaccine passport’ for venue admission fairly solidly in the works for the province. Québecois will have a matrix QR code or likely also an optional non-digital attestation. I do not know what certification format for foreign nationals will satisfy the criteria or if it will be somehow integrated into the mandatory ArriveCAN app info completion, but best to be organized and not caught off guard because entry into bars etc will not necessarily be exactly the same as arrival control and online prep for such. Also bear in mind there is no guarantee the government will not backpedal on the recent re-opening to foreign nationals. Addendum: I forgot to add that I am not aware if documentation of natural post-infection immunity will suffice. A lot of moving parts and the implementation is likely weeks away.

From what I could discern during a few brief visits: Masks mandatory when circulating from one point to another. Masks optional when stationary; sitting or standing drinking or chatting with friends or a dancer. Private dances same as pre-pandemic.
