Something Going On In Kokomo

Maybe it's the election... maybe LE is needing something to do... maybe someone didn't get paid off... I'm not sure what it is, but I'm hearing rumblings of some recent rule changes taking place at the king of Kokomo clubs. It was reported that Hip Hugger has put in place some new rules that has been killing business. Last night, there were 35 girls working, all of which had one of their worst nights ever. Customers were mad.
I've heard of this second hand, so I don't have a lot of specifics. The only rule that I've heard was that "stage diving" is no longer allowed. No more getting up on stage lying on your back to have the dancer straddle you...
Anyone else hear of any goings on, in the 'mo?

I hope everything else remains the same. It's a damn good club with young, pretty, and talented dancers!
It's frustrating when reviews are "open ended" like that, without no specific date of reference. It's further frustrating to think that those reviews are usually posted in order to receive additional "VIP" time on TUSCL. It shouldn't be allowed.
First off, someone (rumor has it someone from the local government) visited the club a few weeks ago and immediately upon entering the club, saw some dances being given in the new section. Of course that's what you would see, because there is that row of chairs straight ahead of the door as you enter. Anyhow, whomever it was, complained to Don (the owner) that that sort of thing shouldn't be right out there in the open.
The first change was the new rule. No stage-side touching. No stage diving. I believe you can still tip, but other than maybe a hug, there is NO touching allowed.
Also, since there isn't any private area sectioned off, they removed the chairs from the wall of the new section, forcing private dances to be done along the wall in the old section - the traditional location. The previous configuration of "chair, table, chair, chair, table, chair, chair, table, etc.", has been replaced by "chair, chair, chair, chair, etc." Even with the removal of the tables and addition of chairs to take the tables' places, there is insufficient seating for private dances. It's now typical to see 10 or more couples waiting in line for seats. That is costing dancers money and annoying customers that are wasting time in line instead of playing.
There are some positives to note. The tables nearest "the wall" where there were always patrons openly watching the dances in progress, have now been removed, thus making "the wall" area a bit more private. Also, the lights have been turned down on the old side, which also has increased privacy. Because of these last two changes, there are reports of increased mileage.
The worst news, however, is the rumor that within a year, Hip Hugger will be shutting it's doors.
My dancer contact reported to me this morning, saying that last night there were 38 girls working and just 10 patrons. Wonderful odds for us custies... a buyer's market, baby! Also, girls are forced to compete for the attention (and money) of the crowd. BUT, it's pretty dismal for the girls. There's been quite a bit of talk from the dancers thinking about heading south to work at BBF.
