Does anyone notice that the clubs are more busy lately?

Good points. You may be onto something there, but like you I don't do BP, so I can't correlate. I have noticed some places more busy, but also some drastically down. I thought it was just the more Party atmosphere a lot of clubs have been going for. A lot of those customers are not spending customers I've been told by many dancers though. Just there for the Party vibe and to drink. So I'll I'll see a full bar but the girls all complaining there's no $$$. Guys just hanging out. Demise of BP would drive a lot more girls into stripping I would think, as that would be a legal venue for them to peddle themselves to mongers.

In Phoenix, we have seasonal, monthly, and weekly SC business cycles. Plus, athletic events, conventions, and even weather affect the number of customers. It’s tough to sort out a longer term trend with all these other influences.

Kinda what Mark94 said, there seem to be cyclical changes, or just plain ole coincidence - there are times I expect the club to be jumping and it's slower than I would've thought, and there are times when I think it'll be slow and I walk into a packed club - also some clubs, particularly dives, seem to change management, or management-style, often, affecting the vibe of the club in the positive or negative.

I doubt that it's BP mongers, but anything is possible - this time of year there isn't much going or much to do so PLs may be using the club more often as a distraction, but who knows.

In Florida It’s the lull between summer activities and the holidays coming up soon in another few weeks the snowbirds will be here in full force then it becomes visitors holiday parties the clubs seem to be busy now then again after New year they crank up again then it dies down a bit till spring breaktime, that’s my obseri.

Maybe you guys are right. I might be reading too much into it.

I was just thinking that it was about this time last year that my SC visits began to peak and that the clubs were pretty busy this time last year. With both football and basketball in season this time of year, I have more excuses to be out.

This year, I probably won't increase my SC visits though, since I have been seeing a couple girls from SA so that's where my money has been going.

I noticed one of my fave clubs was unusually busy this afternoon but soon learned that it had nothing to do with BP and everything to do with the free buffet the club offered. As soon as the food ran out the place emptied. Damn moochers.

Lolol

I did most of my mongering on BP until the recent crackdowns and lime light. I can say that is the biggest reason for me to go back to SCing. I did that before i found Craigslist and eventually BP. Now I'm back after a long hiatus to help relieve "tention". So in my particular case you hit the nail on the head.

It's either Bush's fault or due to global warming.

@bhf "Maybe you guys are right. I might be reading too much into it."

I've had many dancers tell me that spring and summer are slow and fall and winter are the busy season. One dancer I know pretty well is starting to settle back into a more regular schedule, cause as she says "the pools are closed, no one's taking their boat out on the lake anymore, baseball is over, and there just isn't anything else to do, so I might as well be at the club"

So, for customers, it's either the same exact reason, or it's "the good strippers are migrating back for the season, so I'll start going more too."

I know that the few times I do go, it will probably be to see if my two CFs from last winter show back up. I know that at least one of them was migratory.

Fall/winter tend to be quite a bit busier than summer in many areas.

In the Northeast and MidAtlantic states the trend is for clubs to be busier after Labor Day and through football season and then start to die off.......

Not sure about other parts of the country but from what I have heard places like Vegas tend to be higher traffic until around May with slower summers.

Yep. If you ask career strippers, they will most likely tell you that the weeks leading up to Holloween thru Thanksgiving and the the weeks leading up to Christmas, are the times they make “bank.”

Mostly because of the holidays in October, November and December, it seems like business picks up in the clubs.

I’ve taken to tracking micro stripper trends. I want to be at the club when there are the most favorite dancers, the fewest customers, the most liberal bouncers, and the most financial desperation on the part of the strippers. The peak time is between noon and 2pm, on Monday or Tuesday, before a Holiday weekend, near the first of the month. The worst time is any Friday or Saturday night.

BTW , agree w/ JS69, especially in the south

My usual clubs west of Charlotte have been in a bit of a lull. I see more girls showing up on Sunday and Monday because the prior weekend was not "good enough". I think part of it is that this October has 3 weekends in the last half of the month... Thins out customer spare cash. And we have had a warm October, maybe guys have had more family things happening to occupy themselves.

Wow my area is dead right now. I spent an evening ITC with my CF, there were maybe 5 other guys there all evening, pretty sure she was the only one who made money.
