day2, night 3, day 3 MONTREAL! ... ctd. (Jan 20 / 21 - 2009)

So it turns out the next day that "ish" was not allowed in the morning. of all times we required 10:00 (ish), that was changed to 9:30 A.M. so AJ could meet with Serge (#1 ... that's also important later). Serge #1 was meeting with some other people we knew and wanted to speak with AJ before he left. So up we get, and Scott was understandingly a little sluggish. I was also wondering about the egregious amounts of snacks ground into the carpet of the hotel room. I could just see the boys last night : "mmmmmmm ... trail mix". Scott was like ... when did we get trail mix? I just laughed. I remember him disappearing when we got back, and walking in later with handfuls of things bought from the front desk.

On with the day. More "Follow Anouk". She had some very school girly business suit, with stockings and I remember she was very sassy! Well done! We lined up a meeting the day before with Serge Pronovost (Serge #2). We talked about boats. It was a _fantastic_ ... not fantastique (that's later in the night) ... fantastic meeting. It was exactly what we wanted. Serge was all business, in and out. He had a list of 6 things he wanted. Don't screw me, and I won't screw you ... shake the hands, and we're off. Great meeting, followed up with a great coffee, and some shmaggers (smokes) downstairs. Waited around a little bit for lunch. We went to the same Italian restaurant next door that we had been to in the past. We had lunch with Brigitte, and talked about everything with bikes. She had some requests, we had some questions. Everything is in the notes. AJ and I argued ... the good argue ... not a bad one. If forgot about the waiter. Turns out it was a kid who is from Estevan Saskatchewan. We started into the typical SK conversation. He might know a couple of people I know from Estevan. It was a strange coincidence.

So after lunch was finished up with Jevco for our trip. We said goodbye to Serge. He got called back into the doctor to look at his elbow, which was broken. Nothing they can do for him. AJ showed him the calendar pictures from the L&Y Beefcake calendar. I'm not sure if that made Serge feel better or not. Scotty tried get a Jevco cup, Anouk failed in her attempts to acquire one. She walked us out. Kiss Kiss (both cheeks). What a great business trip! Now onto the fun.

We took yet another scary cab ride back to the hotel. Stops for supplies, and then kick back and relax. Scott decided he wanted to take a nap. AJ and I sat in the common area and get right into the drinks.He had monster beer, and I was into the rye. Somehow we killed a couple of hours, and then Scott was awake and ready to go. We kept on the drinks, and decided we were going to hit "Solid Gold". So we cabbed it there. It was a little bit of a journey. We passed a road rage scenario, and then we were at the club.

When we arrived it was really early, and pretty dead at about 6:30. We sat on an elevated level in the comfy chairs. Our waitress could barely speak a lick of English. She apparently just moved to Montreal 2 days ago from Quebec City. So that lead to some interesting communication. We watched some of the girls dance, it appeared to be a shift change. There was this old guy who we saw disappear for hours at a time upstairs for private dances. Then the hockey game came on. Solid Gold has a deal where during the Canadiens games, if the habs score everyone gets a free shooter. If they win the game you get a free drink. They lost the game, but we had 3 free shots.

So after being there for a while. I met a girl named Nancy. She was from Montreal all her life, but could speak English very well. She said her school was bilingual, and it was just like that for her. So we went upstairs for a while. I can not release the private details. ;). She was kinda sad as her and her BF were on the outs, who also worked there, and it was "uncomfortable". We had a good time. I came back down, and we hung out for a while. We continued to step outside, and smoke, and have drinks. We order some food. Which turned out to be a big mistake ... for me anyways. It was great at the time, but food at a strip club ... no-no. We continued with the drinks and action. On a smoking trip I was not part of, some other guys who were there for every mtl game were telling AJ and Scott about how one girl was giving him a blowjob the night before, and stole his Iphone. He noticed it in her stuff later, and they busted her for it. Apprently she was there again earlier that night. Crazy tales.

So after a while this girl who looks like Jenny McCarthy comes and sits beside me. Shorter, and bigger boobs, but she was a Jenny! She's like "Hi how are you? Would you like me to dance for you?". Why yes ... yes I would. After my stint with Nancy I said to myself, alright enough dances, you spent your money, had some fun, all is good. That went right out the window with Crystal. Without giving away the details again. WOW! Holy Frack! I had to go or I'd be broke. I came back down. I remember AJ calling his wife, and was like "Hey honey, at the strippers, thinking about you". haha. I was sitting for a while, and then I realized I was not feeling good at all. I eventually went outside and found AJ and Scott talking with a couple of girls in the smoking hut. They were learning how to say french words for window, and floor. I sat with them, but was kinda out of it. I was really not feeling good. I needed to go. I said to them I was needing to go, and was leaving. AJ was like ... can you wait for like 20 minutes (which really meant like an hour) ... I was like ... no ... I think I'm going to puke on your shoes. His eyes opened, and he was like ... OK ... I get it. I said just stay ... I'll see you back at the hotel. And I left them. During the cab ride, my problems shifted their position to a little lower than the stomach. Could not get back to the hotel fast enough. Then my room key wouldn't work, and finally I got into the bathroom, and after I was somewhat relieved I crawled into bed. AJ checked on me when they got back. It's nice to have friends who care. :D

Scott got one of the girls "Lilly" to sign a card for Ian back in Calgary. Ian was famous to everyone there, cuz we kept telling everyone about him, and how he couldn't make this trip. Ian appreciated the present. It was a good laugh. The next morning was rather quick. We checked out, and headed to the airport. The flight was fine on the way back. We arrived in mid afternoon, and Ian picked us up. Dropped us all off, and that was the end of another French Adventure! Can't wait for the next one!  ¶ 11:54:00 PM 0 comments
