We just got back from karaoke and let me say Scott does a _fabulous_ “Macho Man.” ---

So, we gathered at St-Hubert earlier this evening (and although a few didn’t show up, you know who you are, don’t make me name names 😉 ) the supper proceeded amicably without a hitch and with much enjoyement by all, it might be the Quebec equivalent of McDonalds, but the food is much better (and they serve alcoholic beverages). Then we proceeded to go to Club Date for more libations. There there was a slight problem. The place was packed ! So much so that although we went in about 3 hrs ago, it was only in the last half hour or so that the members of our group that signed up to sing ( **Daerlyn, scott evil and matt\_mcl** ) were able to perform. In the meantime we had to suffer (and enjoy in some cases) the Karaoke performances of the rest of the audience. **Daerlyn** issued a challenge to **scott evil** for the title of **Karaoke queen**. The verdict was a draw. Victory for **Daerlyn** for voice, victory for **scott evil** for stage presence. A rematch is supposed to take place at a future Dopefest. Oh, I forgot, the attendees : **JeffB** **matt\_mcl** **scott evil** **clayton\_e** \*\*Mnementh[b/] **LaurAnge** **kung fu lola** , the birthday girl **Upside\_Down\_Amber** **Curious Canuck** , in for the evening only (keep in touch for the OttaDope plans) **wolfstu** **Daerlyn** , awake for once 😃 and your humble servant, myself, **detop**. ---

**clayton\_e** and I just got back; he’s sprawled on the couch and I think he might be asleep already. And I looked fantastic in that tight tank top with the naval insignia. All that time at the gym has paid off. I’m sure pictures[sup]\*[/sup] will be forthcoming. Tomorrow should be fun. **jeremy evil** will be attending tomorrow’s sugaring off. - I reserve the right to Photoshop any and all pictures of me to be posted. ---

Well, in my defence, _Hotel California_ does not offer nearly the opportunity for showing off that _Macho Man_ does. So next time I’ll pick something a little more zippy, and we’ll see. Oh, and **Mnementh**? Victory to Habs, 4-3. The defense rests. 😛 ---

Change of plans for Sunday. Instead of going to the parade, we will have breakfast/brunch at noon at Chez Cora (1017 Ste-Catherine East), followed by a guided visit by **matt\_mcl** of the Notre-Dame basilica. Now for a report of today’s activities : We gathered around 12 : 30 at **JeffB** ’s hotel where in addition to last night’s crew, we were joined by **Daerlyn** ’s boyfriend, **jeremy evil** and the lovely **Eats\_Crayons** , fresh from the wilds ot Toronto :D. After deciding who went with whom, our convoy started towards the _cabane à sucre_. An hour later we arrived and after a few minutes wait we were served (we had time to go say hello to the goats and the alpagas. Sorry to say, they seemed to have a different breed of goats this year, a miniature one, cutes as buttons, so they didn’t remembered us [sorry **CC**]). Then the food started to arrive, and plenty of it ! After demolishing several servings (the eggs cooked in syrup seemed to have been a hit), we went for the sleighride to help digestion. Unfortunately, it was quite windy, hence cold, and it was not as enjoyable as last year. I guess you can’t win them, all. After that, back in the cars for the trip back to Montréal. Now, this evening, after a 2 hour siesta, we recongregated at around 9 PM at Pizzedelic in old Montréal for some more food. After an enjoyable meal, we split up, some of us going to see a drag show, some of us going back home for a well deserved rest (this Dopefest, I really feel my age and I have trouble keeping up with the young’uns ☹ ). And so this conclude part two of Sugardope II. Addenda to **Eonwe** : for not warning us in time of your absence, at the next Mtl Dopefest, you have to sing a duet with **scott evil** 😛 . ---

Both **Lola** and I wish we could have made it today. As far as I know she will be joining you tomorrow but alas I have to slave away feeding all those lovely drunk people who crave hamburgers after a few hundred beers. (Sorry I know I’m bitter) Anyway, if there are any plans for after 5 o’clock I am sure to be there, and if not well until next year. ``` I just had to add that both **Lola** and myself had a wonderful time Friday night. I wish we could have stayed. **Lola** said that this was her best birthday, which is very much because of all of you. Thank you all so much. Hope to see you all tomorrow. ``` **U\_D\_A** ---

**JeffB** , call me at home Sunday morning - early, like 8 AM. On an unrelated note, I might be able to make Chez Cora after all. 🙂 ---

Well, Friday was a blast, and Mnem and I quite enjoyed the beer. Mmmm beer. All of you were hilariously entertaining with singing, and Scottevil had the best show, but I agree, Daer sang the best. Sorry I missed the sugaring, but I am glad you all had a great time, even with out old alpaca goodness. Have a fun time at chez cora. I recommend the Eggs Benedict with a side of gravy soaked bacon. That is all. Oh, and LaurAnge… thanks for the shower and the place to stay. I’d say the place to sleep at, but I’m not sure if the 90 minutes of sleep or so I got really counts. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/montreal-sugardope-ii-march-12-to-14/228883.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/montreal-sugardope-ii-march-12-to-14/228883.md?page=7)
