Stil closed in NOLa

Write an article or pay founder $6 in April. It’ll be fine.

Hi Book Guy. Were your ears burning from the name drop in Muddy's Bourbon Street dancer interview thread? You could write some articles to beef up your VIP credit. Tweak your welcome back rant a bit and it could work as an article.

We're going to pretend I didn't post about writing an article an hour after McNulty when I'd actually read what he wrote and instantly forgot it.

Wearing a mask is not a guarantee that you won't spread or contract COVID-19. Contracting COVID-19 is not a guarantee that you will die. As a matter of fact, the more widespread COVID-19 becomes, the more we learn about it, and the more effective we become at diagnosing it (although test really only run at 50% accuracy), the lower the mortality rate becomes. For anyone in Louisiana to call anyone from any other state an idiot is laughably hypocritical. Louisiana has one of if not the single poorest educational system in the nation, and a culture that truly celebrates ignorance and fuzzy logic. Remove the log from your own eye before pointing out the splinter in someone else's.

The reason for the lockdown in Louisiana is that you idiots elected a democrat machine governor, and he is dutifully following orders from Pelosi and Schumer to reduce your freedoms and make you more dependent on a cradle-to-grave nanny state. Continue to reap what you have sown, but do not attack others for electing leadership which allows them to choose.

p.s. a "hankie" is virtually ineffective. it meets the letter of medical advice but not the intent. You should wear a paper surgical mask, n95/kn95/equivalent mask, or a washable cloth mask WITH replaceable filter.

I'm confused Book. Were you mourning the closing of clubs or celebrating the states that closed them - or maybe some of both?

Most of that was very melodramatic. Anyone should know by now how to protect himself. Here in FL, which has neither a mask mandate nor a public gathering limit, the overwhelming majority of new cases are among the young because old people know to wear PPE and avoid crowded places. It's not rocket science. Anyone who gets it now has made a choice to get up close and personal with others and almost every one of them can probably pinpoint exactly where they caught it. I got mine in a club for sure.

And any old person who is too stupid by now to keep themselves safe from this virus is probably very lucky to have lived this long. At a certain point businesses have to be allowed to open (including venues where people congregate) and people have to be allowed to make their own informed decisions regarding risk.

Not sure where places are or aren't open, didn't mean to confuse.

Sorry if it sounded melodramatic, didn't mean to bark up that mellow dram tree. All of y'all who are competing for annual Darwin Awards, y'all just keep yer competition amongst yerselves over there on the other side of the room OK? I was just sharing some info, still closed here, that's all, just being discuss-and-talk orientated, so to speakify. Didn't mean to try to be celebrating or defending anything (except, can't get out of this one, the notion that during a pandemic it's good to cooperate with disease-reduction measures and it's dumb not to cooperate, that much seems reasonable, though, maybe you like increasing the risk of killing yourself and other people, in which case, go right ahead, just don't involve me personally, we're all theoretically Libertarians here right?). I do like the comment, "too stupid by now ... probably very lucky ..." yeah that's about the size of it. :)

Yeesh tough crowd ...

^Butthurt much? Snowflake.

All I can say is I miss Book Guy's excellent reviews.

Hey Longball I miss the opportunity to write those reviews. Your TUSCL history makes you appear to have a lock on the Detroit area, where I've always itched to go, ever since I got wind of the types of clubs in and around the airport there. There appears to be a that ideal combination of lower-class industrial sleaze populated by top-drawer women willing to perform the necessary tasks. Will keep you in mind if that trip ever happens. Can't say as much for anything in the New Orleans area, sorry, though I'm holding out hope (probably very slim) for a change of style after the lockdown ends. Who knows what demographic and economic shifts are in the offing?

I'm probably going to be a total hypocrite (of course ... but then, who isn't?) about wanting to be one among the first customers inside the clubs when they open, while also saying people should be more careful about observing the lockdown. Not

Just spotted a message on the Visions (club in New Orleans) website (and repeated at their Facebook page) that they re-opened on Dec. 10, probably will have to check it out. Hypocrisy here I come. They say they're observing all social distancing, which suggests to me that they're not allowing lap-dances (which were always against the rules anyway; so, erm, "table" dances).

The D is indeed my #1 clubbing destination. Big airport with plenty of hotel choices and within 15 minutes of DTW are a huge variety of clubs from sleazy Bogarts / Henry's, middle of the road Criket / BT's to top shelf TLS / FC. You cannot go wrong. During normal times I also like staying at Caesars in Windsor for a change of pace at Cheetah's / Leopards / Silvers. Man, I hope things get back to normal soon.

More info, I just heard that the Bourbon Street (New Orleans) clubs will be allowed to re-open (some have done so already, Penthouse NOLa Facebook page says they're open) but the mayor / city council will require that lap-dances be 6-foot distance (whose "lap" is that big?) and all transactions be by credit-or-debit card only, so no garter-tipping. (LOL, makes me think maybe I can just swipe my card in the slot ... LOL.)

Met a couple NOLA girls at a club in Tampa last night. Got a fun dance from one with a nice clit piercing. Thanks for sharing.
