Church or Club?

Atlanta suburb
Do you club on Sundays? Why or why not? It seems that a lot of clubs are either closed on Sundays or open late.
In Atlanta there are only 5 of 40+ clubs open on Sundays. I have to wonder if it is religion that keeps them closed or is it just the fact that the dancers need a day of rest? Or is it that the customers would rather do other things on Sundays.
As for me, I am heading to Follies in a few hours. It rarely disappoints on Sunday afternoons.

Not during football season - some things are sacred, after all.
However, I did have the idea of starting my own church in my 20s. The plan was a version of xianity that involve lots of sex with hot chicks. An cruising around in a bus following the Dead. And shrooms and acid and weed were necessary to keep in good standing.
Clubbing would be a sacrament because strip club beer can be transformed into the blood of Christ. The Catholics have it wrong, you see, because it is the presence of beer in close proximity to a strippers exposed pussy that causes transsubstantiation. Priests can't do it. At least that was my story at the time. Idea seemed really good when I had dropped some windowpane and the walls were melting.
Alas, I didn't begin my religion. But at least I can afford strippers now that I'm middle aged. And who knows, perhaps I'll retire and go cruise the country convincing hot ass strippers to become my deciples. Wife wouldn't understand, but a man has got to follow his god...
I prefer weekends because usually the dancers are a lot hotter.
Well the club is still around but the talent is pathetic. Things really started to go downhill a few years ago (as did SCs in general). I would love to find another club situation like that again. But I know those days are gone
There is a new columbus club opening called Roadhouse Revue that is suppose to be open noon-midnight 7 days a week so hopefully this will be a good sunday day shift club. Unfortunately this club is in the old location of Candy Shop and that place was a dive so I can't see this place being much better. The only thing different is that there is now a mega casino opened up on the west side that is suppose to revitalize the area...but I just don't see it happening!
Both are in the business of peddling a fantasy.
Even in NYC, as large and cosmopolitan as it may be, you would have trouble finding a club that is open on Sunday afternoon and some of them do not open at all on Sundays.
As for the rest, that is why I said "or open in the evening." Shadow's initial complaint was that either the clubs were not open at all of that they opened late. I was sharing the fact that the same situation exists here.
I’ve always had the sense that ATL is a pretty conservative/religious area and that may be the reason for the clubs being closed on Sundays? The ATL also has a large African American (AA) population and the church tends to often have a significant role in the AA community. Many urban/AA radio stations will play gangsta rap during the week and yet will only play gospel music on Su. mornings/afternoons. Could there be a connection b/w the large AA ATL community and the fact than Su. are treated differently – not sure but could be?
Having said this, I lived in Dallas, TX for a few years and that area tends to be pretty conservative – yet I don’t recall the clubs being closed on Sundays (at least not in the evenings which is when I would go).
