I'm a lifelong "Region Rat" (resident of NW Indiana, a suburb of Chicago) and have patronized almost all of the clubs in the area, along with the south suburbs. I had a recent free night on a Thursday and decided to withdraw some funds for entertainment purposes and do some exploring. The summary is a composite of my evening:
- First visit was my "home club", Knockouts, located off route 12 in Gary, Indiana, near Porter county. I went there around 3:30 PM and wanted to take advantage of their $10 special, offered on Tuesday's and Thursday's (no longer offered on Sunday's). There were approximately 5 ladies working, and I was approached by Morgan, an attractive mid-30's seasoned pro who chatted with me at the bar for 15 minutes and really didn't pressure me at all. It's difficult to discern her ethnicity, but she could be Philippine, Hispanic, or Asian with some white mixed in. In any event, she's attractive and classy and I agreed to dances with her when the subject arose. We did 3 and I have to say she is sensual but not dirty and has enhanced boobs, but they are not ridiculous. I reminded her of an incident that occurred several month's before when I agreed to dances with her and she excused herself, promising to return. Another dancer swooped in and she lost the business and I could tell she was upset, so I apologized to her for that and she appreciated it (she remembered it too). Money spent was around $45, no cover, 3 laps plus $10 tip, $4 beer and a buck tip to the bartendress.
- I went home to shower and change shirts because I had been outside all day and also to rest up for the evening's fun. I decided to hit up Deja Vu in Lake Station, another local club. There was a $3 cover at around 7:30 PM, and a beer was $4, both payable to the bartendress. There appeared to be 5 dancers working, along with a staff that exceeded that, and all of the women working were rather unattractive and obese, but there were several nice looking dancers. Sin took the stage, who appeared to be multi-racial with a lot of tattoos and hip-thigh boots, and I tipped her a couple of bucks. Afterwards, she sat between me and another patron at the bar, and she thanked me, but spoke primarily to the other guy, who I assumed she knew. No problem. The place was not yet really hopping and no other dancers approached or looked too approachable (they were locked down by regulars), so I decided to bolt after about 45 minutes. Total expenditure was $10.
- Fantasy in Hammond was stop 3, and I knew if I made it before 9PM, I could avoid the cover charge. I was wanded and made to show ID upon arrival, but avoided the cover. What a disappointment! No customers or dancers, just myself and the staff of about 4 (several bouncers and a bartendress). I bought a water for $4 and gave the lady 5 and sat down at a table. At one time not too many years ago, this club offered a lot of "bang for the buck", literally, but now it's lame. I decided to give it some time and eventually a heavy black dancer came in with street clothes on and went to the back to change. 15 minutes later she joined me and introduced herself as Lola. Now she had no real appeal to me and I knew I wouldn't spend any money on her, but the ensuing discussion was interesting, which lasted 30 minutes or so. She asked for a tip, and I gave her 5 for her time (she indicated I could touch her tits for 5 more, I declined). I did, however, notice several more dancers head to the dressing room, including a cuter Latina, Monica, who I had met before, but I made the decision to leave for my next spot. Total expenditure was $10.
- Wiggles, Hammond, which was a 10 minute drive from Fantasy is an urban club that opens at 9PM. I arrived around 9:30, expecting it not to be very busy, but my plan was to grab a beer and patiently wait for it to fill up. I parked in the wooded grassy area in the back to avoid a parking fee, and was told the cover was $10. No ID requested or pat down at all. Having been to this club several times before, I expected to be one of the only, if not the only whites in the club, which in the past was never a problem. It wasn't this time either, but what was a problem was the total lack of dancers and patrons when I arrived. But that quickly changed when Queen arrived and introduced herself to me after I purchased a beer for $5. We sat down near a table and 2 swivel chairs and yacked it up for quite a while as she discussed her children, her home in Missouri, why she was working there, etc. Queen in a MILFY mid-30's AA lady with several kids and I ended up buying her a drink for $15, Patron and Sprite. In the past, dancers would typically grind on you in your chair as you tipped them, but Queen never offered to do so, nor did I ask, simply because the place was so dead. Eventually another heavy set AA dancer emerged and I decided that Wiggles was having an off night so I used the rest room and departed after being there over an hour. Even Queen acknowledged the place was unusually empty at that time, much more than usual. Total expenditure was $30.
- Knockouts, night shift. I knew from previous experience that the night shift at Knockouts was quite different than the day shift, and when I arrived was asked for ID and a $10 cover. No problem. The place was jumping with roughly 20 dancers of all ethnicities, many good looking whites, blacks, and Hispanics. I perched myself at the bar and bought a beer, eventually being joined by a heavy set, but attractive Puerto Rican whose name I will withhold. She recognized me from prior visits and was very attentive, more so than is customary at this club. We worked our way into the communal lap dance area and I received 3 very handsy dances from this individual, who has now become one of the favorites in my rotation. Shortly after midnight, this old guy was pretty tired and I left the club fairly satisfied. Total expenditure was $60. Regrets: For my encore, I want to visit Industrial Strip, also in Hammond, where I haven't been in many years, as well as Little Darlings at Deja Vu, a separate but conjoined club to the parent.
