Strip clubbing and the weather. Go or not?

I am right now getting blasted by thunderstorms. Badly needed. Shadowcat is lying at my feet. totally zonked out. Most dogs would be panicked. Would you venture out to a strip club in this kind of weather? It wouldn't bother me but What about a snow storm in Chicago in January? You fuckers are crazy that go and check your top coats. I have noticed that there are more customers in the clubs during rainy days. They can't work outside, so whats to do?
Got something to say?

My larger 'HEAD' tells me to stay at home inside where it is dry and safe.
My smaller 'HEAD' directs me to go out to a club and get some relief.
Besides, if the club is in the same vicinity of the storm, maybe they have no electricity! Now, wouldn't that be 'COZY'?
I have been in clubs where electricity has gone out for awhile. It was during the summer (HOT) and the customers & dancers (in dance attire) waiting outdoors. Other times, the dancers would sit with me inside the club, which usually turned out to be to my advantage and $$theirs$$!
:-) :-) :-)
I remember I did go about 30 some miles north up the road one night to a local club. I didn't check the weather forecast. A combination of freezing rain, sleet and snow had fallen making the roads really bad. A few inches of sleet, freezing rain, and snow mix had fallen the few hours I was in the club. My home was 30 miles south. Apparently the snow line was only about 14 miles south. No snow or sleet south of that line. It was frozen solid on my car. I was thinking I was going to have to explain how my car got covered. Lucked out, it snowed where I was at during the night.
If I already decided I want to go out, it's going to have to be dire straits and an emergency to stop me. Hurricane force winds blowing at 80 mph, streets flooding, won't stop me. Snow blowing horizontal, just keep on going. I might stay home for a major snowstorm forecast since there aren't too many snowplows and they don't know how to clear roads very good here in the south.
Usually I just have some time to kill, or maybe I'm headed home and traffic is bad (which is "always" in ATL), and I'll just pop into a club and see what's up.
So yeah, I might go if it's stormy just to be out of traffic.
O.
I've been in a strip club when a storm came through and they lost power. Unfortunately the emergency lights were brighter than their normal lighting, which ruined all the fun.
In fact, a few years ago (Nov 15, 2005), I had an OTC arranged with my prev-ATF. The weather was terrible when I left for what normally is about a 2.5 - 3.0 hour drive. It was raining so hard that you couldn't see more than 20 feet in front of the car. I thought it'd get better the closer that I got, but instead it remained about the same - if not worse. The big head was saying, "this is crazy, turn around", the little head said "shuddup and keep drivin'!"
About half-way between Kokomo and Indy (somewhere around Westville or is it Westfield?), it went from bad to worse. The wind was really picking up, it got much darker and the rain was horrendous. I literally could not see a thing. My wipers were doing nothing at all. I could see some taillights in front of me and some people were even stopping, but me, I wanted to see my girl... couldn't wait for my OTC plans to materialize.
Then, there were some monstrous winds... I like storms, and even enjoy "storm chasing", but I was getting a bit nervous. Something happened at this point... still not sure what it was, but I remember a massive gust of wind, a sense of tipping (I THINK my Explorer went up on two wheels), and the next thing I knew, I was sitting in the left lane and was getting wet - I HAD been driving in the right lane. The right front passenger window and the large right rear quarter windows had shattered in, glass, grass, mud and water were everywhere and the rain was blowing in. Both windshield wipers were going back and forth, but they were bent at 90 degree angles away from the windshield and doing nothing. I was in shock. I started driving towards Indy again... it was probably three minutes later when I came to my senses and realized there was no way that I could continue to Indy in this weather, with no windows.
I looked in the mirror and my face and hands were bloody. I even had glass in my ear!
I know there were tornadoes in the south Indy area, but I THINK I found one north of Indy that night. I have pics if anyone wants to see...
So, I will drive through ALMOST anything to get to the club (or hotel).
Doug- You sure got an awesome "BJ".
Which reminds me of another curious experience. I was driving through southern Virginia early one morning following a night of freezing rain, and the highway was littered with vehicles that had spun off the road out of control - there must have been dozens of them. And here's the funny part - virtually every one of them was a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
