There are three variants of airline wifi: Gogo, Panasonic Ku and SW's Via-Sat Ka satellite technology. Of the three, Southwest was the airline to implement it right... Their entertainment system streams fast and is a solid product.
 
American has Gogo on most of their equipment and is moving to Panasonic's v3 tech, inch-by-inch. It's speedier than what they had, but it's still unreliable.
 
That being said, it's nice having the ability to work a little on the way to Asia, Europe, Hawaii or South America. I'm just happy that the FAA has kept their word in banning phone conversations in-flight. That would be insane.

Thanks to Ichabod for such a thorough review. Pepe at Stock is indeed quite something. Huge man in all respects:cool:.

I was in Montreal for 5 days this week and thought I'd report on my experiences in the strip clubs. I have had a good time at all 4 bars over the years, so I always check them all out.
 
Taboo: I only went to Taboo once and did not stay long; there were only 2 dancers (very nice-looking twinks Marco and Fred), and fewer than 5 customers; it was a rainy Tuesday night, so that may have been the problem. Someone in another thread was asking about the lack of curtains in the private dance cubicles. I did not check it out this trip, but I will say that lack of privacy has never seemed to inhibit the Taboo dancers.
 
Stock: I had a very good private dance on Sunday night with Pepe (as in LePew, he said), a tall muscular Quebecois dancer. He seemed very straight, but he was very friendly in the back room. I also poked my head in to Stock that same rainy Tuesday night, and it was as dead as I have ever seen it. A big group of dancers was gathered around the near end of the bar, and one shouted out "Hey, come back!" as I made my escape.
 
Campus: I stopped in to Campus twice (Monday and Tuesday - I tried all 4 clubs that night), and it was pretty low energy both times. On Monday there were long breaks between dancers on stage; I stayed for one drink and none of the dancers ever approached me. On Tuesday, the stage shows were more steady, but it was still slow. There was some sort of bad feeling among the dancers, with one guy seeming on the outs with the others; it looked like a fight might break out a few times, but nothing ever happened. Multiple handsome dancers came up and talked to me, and I had a great private with Daniel, a young black/mixed race guy who said he'd only been working there a couple of weeks - muscular, hung, very enthusiastic.
 
Adonis: I have always liked this club more than some posters, and Adonis (now open 7 nights a week - Lux was only open 5 nights) was the clear winner this trip. I went three times, and it was consistently busier and livelier than Stock, Campus, or Taboo. It is true that some of the dancers here (and this has been true when it was JP's and Lux, too) are unhealthy looking and unattractive. There is one dancer who is very overweight and appears to be in his mid-40s, at least; I thought he was a customer at first. But it's also true that I have had some really good private dances here. John (handsome young Asian guy with a very sexy body, great dancer) did a good private dance with me. I also had a good experience with Jimmy, tall brunette with a big cock who used to dance at Taboo; he is very accommodating if you're willing to pay his price. Jonathan, handsome young straight guy with a good body, is friendly in a sort of charmingly gawky way. I am pleased to have Adonis back up and running again. But it is - to my mind - largely unchanged from its previous incarnation; if you did not like Lux, you probably won't like Adonis, either.

Watching Jake now on the live feed. He's currently got the shortest hair I've ever seen on him. Looks like he is going for a completely new look. Very skinny as well. Zero muscle tone.

Females at the clubs don't bother me at all. At SR's, you just need to go to the VIP area if you don't want to be around the women. All the dancers make their way back there cause they know that's where the $ is. No females allowed.
 
At Stock, I love ladies night. There are a few dancers there on ladies night that just want to hang around with the ladies. That's fine. There are plenty more hunky guys that would prefer to hang out with me.

That is exactly what I am pointing to in my post.

Good answer....and the correct answer as well.

Guys....No Risk-No Gain. I seriously doubt if the guys who work the clubs want their business all over the place unless they start putting ads out. In my opinion, it just cheapens the experience all the way around. Just my 2 cents worth.

The Campus website is sadly outdated as far as dancers pics are concerned. They still have dancer pics for guys that have not been there for at least six months. Stock is the only male strip club website that keeps their pics pretty much up to date.

I was in Montreal last weekend for a long-ish stay from Thursday to Tuesday. Nice to be past the worst of the winter in Montreal. It was still cool/cold whilst I was there but there was no snow/rain which was nice.
 
I started off at Stock on Thursday night just after midnight. I did a quick canvass of the place and saw very little that interested me in terms of dancers. Since the night was already late (I had a late flight arrival), I decided to walk over to campus to see what was happening there....I was happy I did. Campus had 4-5 solid looking musc/masc guys dancing. It was a surprisingly good lineup for a slow cold Thursday night. I hung out with two guys who I knew that previously danced at Stock two years ago. Had a great time with them and also looking at the substantial eye-candy on the stage. A good time was had by EZEtoGRU at Campus on the Thursday.
 
I was concerned about Stock for the rest of my long weekend since Thursday there was a disappointment. I quickly learned that I needn't be. Stock had a very solid lineup of guys for the rest of my stay Friday till Sunday. I had a great time all three nights and didn't at all feel the need to wander over to Campus again. I spent time with lots of hot guys. The notable one's were Franco, Tyson, Justin, Kobe, Mike, Kevin, Morgan, and Jo. So many men....so little time. So much fun. So much alcohol. It was worth it.
 
I stayed an extra day in Montreal to go to the Red Wings vs Canadiens game at the Bell Centre on the Monday night. That was a blast! I went with three "friends" from Stock. Boy was I the thorn between three roses. LOL.

I wouldn't make a decision on that yet. Ford may end up offering fire sale prices on discontinued models in order to get them out of dealerships.

Chrysler already made this decision over a year ago. It eliminated it's last remaining smaller car (the Chrysler 200). The North American branch of Fiat Chrysler (which is Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep) now focuses on vans, pick-ups, SUV's, Jeeps, plus two cars: The Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Charger. American car makers seem to be unable to make sufficient profit with small car production. Perhaps they don't sell sufficient volume to get economies of scale.
 
There may be some political fallout for Ford and/or Trump with this announcement. Remember Ford's stated intent to move some car production to Mexico about a year ago? They were chastised by Trump for moving production of some vehicles from the US to Mexico. Ford later decided to cancel the move. Trump declared a "win" as I recall. Now it seems many US jobs will go now anyway. How many jobs will be lost and from which states?

@EZEtoGRU I was there Friday about the same time you were. I didn't see many dancers to impress either. They had a big shakeup several months ago, the owner fired a lot of the long-time bartenders, promoted one of the dancers to manager, and I'm not sure if that dancer/manager is still in that role; haven't seen him in several weeks. Some of the fired bartenders are back. It's definitely not the place it was five years ago.

I'm curious if you thought either of the two dancers you saw were attractive or not? The 10 or so dancers I saw on Thursday and Friday last week were not of interest to me at all. Even if they were offering totally free lap-dances, I would have declined. It was that bad.
 
I hadn't heard anything about a police raid.

To be honest, Stock had a solid lineup of muscle-hunks on three of the four nights I was there. Only Thursday was weak. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were great at Stock.

Yawn.

I've been back living in Michigan for almost two years now. I just finally ventured back to Club Gold Coast on Thursday and Friday nights. I hadn't been in 2-3 years. The dancer quality was dreadful. Not a single hot masculine guy dancing on either night.
 
Thursday had around 10 dancers. All of them were white guys with the exception of one black and one Hispanic guy. All were somewhat or very effeminate. Not my cup of tea at all. Only one of them had a fairly tight worked out body. Kind of an Adam Rippon look. Very few patrons....maybe 10 paying customers. I left before midnight. There was no point in my staying there as there was no-one I was remotely interested in for a lapdance.
 
I decided to return on Friday night to see if a weekend night would be any better. It was actually worse. Fewer dancers. Only about 6 guys dancing. Five of them were repeats from Thursday plus one different guy. The club was fairly busy when I arrived around 9:30pm. There was a group of 20-25 people (male & female) there that were part of a "party bus". They stayed for about 40 minutes and then left to move onto the next bar on their schedule I guess. That thinned the ranks at the club. It stayed busier than on Thursday....but still nothing like it used to be. I was gone by 11:30pm.
 
I've been an off and on patron of Club Gold Coast for more than 30 years. Whilst it was never close to Montreal/Miami/Atlanta in overall dancer quality, you could always count on there being at least 2-3 hot studs dancing there that were worth taking a private dance with....especially on the weekend. Not any more.
 
I seriously doubt this is a viable business as it currently stands. I hope someone steps in to shake things up and improve the dancer quality substantially. Otherwise, I doubt they can last till 2019.
