They started rolling in at midnight, when the switchover happened from Serge Duchesne to
Junior, and the command was given “Everybody Dance (Now).” Within minutes, it seemed the floor of Parking reached critical mass.  The boys had arrived.  As had Junior, complete with entourage.  As Woody Allen once said, showing up is ninety percent of life.  Our first time to PYarking, one of the local’s favorites.  For years, Mark Anthony ran the fabled after-hours from the downstairs booth.  This club has history.  Sex and music in its bones.  A perfect-sized club for a Friday night party.  This was the other Leather Party, the smaller of the two, but equally a part of the Black and Blue line-up.  With two staircases leading up to a mezzanine above the floor, Parking has great sightlines, and a linoleum-covered floor easy on the feet.  Like dancing in your kitchen.  Junior seemed happy to be here, and the crowd happy to have him, and particularly Kat Coric, the lone female allowed into this men’s-only event.  Girl worked her leather chaps and a killer do.  And there was Jae Aviance, performance artist and upcoming star of Main Event on Sunday who said, “I just wanna dance with somebody who loves me.  I mean, doesn’t everybody?”  Indeed. And after Sunday’s performance, they’ll be no question about it.  Meanwhile Junior’s messing with “Nasty Girl” and mashing it with something and the floor’s got the geographical bases covered: Doug and Josh of Sobe Gay Info and Gen-Y style mavens John and Tim from Manhattan, and party photog Adam Tanner from Boston, and circuit historian Mickey Weems from Ohio.  The crowd has that combination of New York ambitious energy mitigated by Montreal’s sense of chill. 

Earlier, we’d spoken to Mark Anthony and asked him a few questions about Montreal, and why this town works well for people who love music and dance, and he said, “Fierce dance floors.  Montreal has a history of fierce dance floors.”  And last night at Parking was an example.  Junior brought that New York intensity and mixed it with Montreal cool, and it wasn’t long before we were all moving with “This Joy.”  This joy in Montreal is liberating us.  Here’s to more joy tonight with Military and Manny at Metropolis – in Montreal for Black and Blue.  Too much joy?  Not possible – not in Montreal.

Best always,
Mark and Robert
