Montreal Pride 2004

In a perfect world yes, but this sort of question puts them on the spot IMO, most especially when it comes to the 'group'. Having met them I am sure they are all happy -- ex post facto -- to have been invited. That is good enough for me.

Interesting question...

 

I will at least comment about those for whose presence I was somewhat responsible.

 

All of the boys seemed to get along well enough with each other and with the Montreal dancers. Of course, as is human nature, certain ones seemed more compatible with others, and they spent more of the time chatting with each other.

 

Travis and Bobby Thompson found "new friends"... ahem.

 

Nicholas got to practice his French, which dancers commented to me was amazingly good.

 

Sammy and Justin stole some hearts.

 

It is actually always interesting to watch young guys in strip clubs. And we are talking about guys who have NEVER had to pay for it. There is an intial reluctance, even shyness, to the whole concept and scene. But almost without fail, by the end, they are all getting into it.

 

Also very interesting to note that several dancers commented to me that they felt intimidated when doing dances for some of these young cute customers.

 

Lots of interesting dynamics.. but the bottom line is that it did seem that all had varying degrees of a good time, and doubt that any one of them left with the feeling that he wished he didn't come.

Tampa and Marc-I did not mean that in any way to slam you guys,I love your reports and would hope to be a part of your party one of these days.

I was just looking for a newbies rake on all of this,I am sure all of the boys had a great time with y'all.Asking them to share their thoughts is a way to;a)get some new blood flowing thru the viens of this message center.B)allow thse of us who were not there some vicarious thrill,I am sure part of the fun is seeing the surprise-wonder-thrill on their faces.Also Montreal would offer different delights to a cute 20 year old than to most of us-And that would be fun to read about.

[Guest Tampa Yankee]

>Tampa and Marc-I did not mean that in any way to slam you

>guys,

 

No such intention was perceived Big Guy. It is just that asking guys to comment on the 'group' is akin to asking an escort to review his own client and other clients on a 'client message board' or to make public comments about his peers. That seems to me to put the guys on the spot. I agree that getting their perspective on Montreal would be interesting but disentangling it from the personalities and the basic invitation is a slippery slope best avoided IMO.

 

>I am sure part of the fun

>is seeing the surprise-wonder-thrill on their faces.

 

I can't speak for their faces but I'm sure mine showed all of that and more when...

 

while we were at Campus one afternoon we sent the guys off window shopping for leather at Priape. Some time after the appointed time for their return I went looking to round them up for supper. Upon descending the Priape stairs to the leather room I looked around and found four nearly nude boys all decked out in various accoutrements including: black thongs, chaps, bandaliers, bracelets, collars,... an amazing sight that quickened my breathing and caused a few skipped heartbeats. }( They had the attention of the entire floor. Too bad Mark had to settle for pictures of the display but great pictures nevertheless. :9

Hey guys! I really do hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend! I personally had a blast! I know I havent been to taboo much but I still got to see most of you and enjoyed spending time with you From what the other dancers told me they had a very very very good time! and yes indeed a lot of us are leaving Taboo! Guislain moving to Quebec city , Felix (my bf) going back to college , Aurian going back to France and deporting myself back to my mother's house in Germany and then moving for probably 1 year either to Stockholm or Amsterdam !

 

I do not know if I will still be here for black&blue. But keep on mind that all of you are more than welcome to come visit and party with me in europe!

 

Pride was not as crowded this year but I think im allow to talk on behalf of Taboo (management and dancers) to say THANK YOU! , thank you for making this an awesome weekend and to show us your support!

 

Kai.

 

P.S. OZ I havent seen you in over a year! I bloody miss you!

[Guest Tampa Yankee]

>LOLOL. I am surprised Tampa Yankee remembers a thing from

>last night. He spent the entire evening (at least while I saw

>him) in a blissful stupor after having what he termed "one of

>my top two life changing experiences." Yup... we waited and

>waited at Taboo for him to show (supposed to be at 8), and he

>finally did make it close to 11, with the Cheshire Cat grin

>all over his face (he even brought the devoured canary along

>with!) hehe.

et tu Antony!! :o

BGP: I, like TY, took no offense to your inquiry. I really did think it was an interesting question.

 

My answer tried to answer one aspect of the whole thing which is interesting... the strip club dynamic when young and cute hires young and cute.

 

Most of the guys there are not active participants on this board... really only Bobby Thompson has posted here that I remember. So not sure much more than our old guy perspective will appear. Though was nice to hear from Kai above (he is a Taboo dancer).

 

Hope to hang with you in Montreal as well, BGP. Black and Blue maybe? I know that I will be there at the Gouverneur, and you will not be at the Gouverneur! hehe

The parade was less commercial and had fewer floats that in the past years (I noticed the absence of Molson and Coke). Strip clubs haven't had a float for years. I actually saw the swim organization. Tampa, I guess you were too busy looking somewhere else...

I did that once... commitment and fidelity for almost a quarter century, if not always harmony....

 

... wife, kids... the full catastrophe. *

Now, teach me to dance! *

Actually, last year Taboo had a float. They put Damien on it... what a cutie.

Hmmmmm...... wouldn't be the first time.

Ummm.... well... actually it was a convertible but it did float along in the parade. :+

[bigguyinpasadena]

Ummmm not to be indelicate here-but did any of you notice any new dancers at any of the clubs who were really well endowed?

[marc anthony]

>Ummmm not to be indelicate here-but did any of you notice any

Johnny at Taboo is very well endowed, but he is not that new. Not sure if you had seen him before. Sweet kid, and very big.

[KY_TOP]

>Sweet kid, and very big.

 

Johnny is indeed a very sweet kid. Someone at our table must have told him my name because he addressed me by name several times during last weekend's trip. Also, even though I was not doing back room dances he would come by, address me by name, and sit and talk. Of course I tripped him on stage for being so sweet and nice.

 

I will not comment on his "bigness", to keep from getting in trouble :-) ,but it is safe to say you can take Marc's word on that.

[Chuck50]

KY-Top was that tripped or tipped. HUGS Chuck50 :P

OOOPS..tipped of course. If I had tripped him, he probably would have landed in Marc Anthony's lap.}(

[Chuck50]

[Guest JohnPela]

Foxy,

 

I look forward to hearing about your Gay Pride experiences in Montreal. Did you get to spend quality time in each strip club or was it a whirlwind tour of clubs?
