The city has to make money somehow now that it's bankrupt, what better way than through fines for vice infractions? It's a "sin tax" that neither the left nor the right ever complains about.

So, it was the customers that she thought were disgusting? Bet she waits for him to get out.

Make sure to pick guys at the pool/beach with the same skin, hair & eye colour as your sugar daddy. If he's really as dumb as you seem to think he is, he might not ask for a DNA test in nine months.

The second half of step three and all of steps four and five seem entirely unnecessary to me.

A lot of Vancouver clubs used to have showers/fountains on stage, and they'd be used two or three times a night. I'd tip a few dollars more for a stage performance that included a shower show. I would not pay to get a private shower show, either instead of or leading up to a lap dance.

$1.28 - $1.33 a litre in Vancouver. And that's with the loonie trading at $1.03.

"when my fav wasn't around"... "this waitress is a friend of my fav" She's trying to keep other dancers away from you, or your mind off of other dancers, in order to ensure that you spend your money on her friend the fav.

Well, I assume this means no more taking sex toys on airplanes.

If I had to guess, I'd say that it wasn't your sweats or tennis shoes that were the problem as much as your lack of a black leather jacket or vest with the right patch sewn on the back. The place sounds less club and more clubhouse.

Many, but by no means all, Vegas clubs will ask for ID to prove you're a local and/or charge cover to walk ups. I'll admit, if this worked it might be worth the look on the driver's face, but since I'd want to call the club to confirm that they'll waive the cover charge if I walk up, I'd just as soon ask them if they'll send a limo to pick me up and waive the cover. This offer is common with a lot of Vegas clubs and not only do you get to ride in style, you get to skip the cab line at the hotel and you can take your drink into the limo with you.

I've done the double-dance twice. The first time was off the freakin' charts. The second time, considerably less so. The first time I was the centre of attention, the second time was closer to the 1.5 that harrydave mentioned. However, I think the main problem the second time - and the reason I usually turn down the offer - is that I was really only into one of the girls. The other one was the less attractive friend, the kind you'd assign to your wingman in a bar and only sort of owe him, and I wouldn't have said yes if she'd approached me by herself. So I'd do it again, but only if I'd be willing to get solos from both girls.

Keep in mind that, while most Americans still seem to think the Canuck buck is worth significantly less, the exchange rates regularly make the evening news up here. If you're hoping the dancers will be impressed that you're paying in US dollars or will give you any exchange bonus, you will probably be disappointed. I agree with Art that they'll probably accept US dollars near the border, but they'll take them at par and won't thank you for the trip to their bank.

Dancing With the Stars? No. So You Think You Can Dance? Oooooohhhh Yeah! (Chelsie was a contestant on season four.)

It's generally accepted that every club in the greater Vancouver BC area has some degree of HA involvement and the lack of clubs in the eastern end of the region is largely due to the dominance of other motorcycle "clubs."

At home, about all I'm going to get is eye-candy and when I'm picking clubs I usually look for who's putting on the best show - I can see pretty, naked girls on my computer, but a good strip tease is a thing of beauty. When I travel, then I'm looking for the GFE sweet spot that Steve writes about. I usually won't say no to reasonably (and, at times, unreasonably) priced extras ITC, but it's difficult to find that when it's your first and probably last time in a club.

You get to tip the bouncer $20 to look the other way, pay ridiculous drink prices and find out too late that we don't do extras. ;)

Asking a bouncer who's the best dancer is like asking a cabbie which is the best club - the answer to both questions is "whoever's paying me more." (Although the cab driver is statistically somewhat less likely to be receiving payment in the form of BBBJs.)

TENS of millions? You're bitching about a US president throwing away TENS of millions (between $0.08 and $0.50 per US citizen, according to your numbers) in Muslim nations? Dude, did Dub'ya tear a big hole in your world map where mine shows a country called Iraq? (For that matter, did any of the last half dozen US presidents do the same where my world map shows a country called Israel?)

One Saturday afternoon in Vancouver, the DJ was playing nothing but Leonard Cohen between sets. It was trippy - 4 rap songs for the girl, 3 LC for the DJ, 4 hair metal songs for the next girl, 3 LC for the DJ, etc., ect. for a couple of hours. When I finally went to the booth and told him we were all worried he was going to slit his wrists he switched to something else.

While the sun is up Republicans are opposed to strip clubs because sex is bad, mmm'kay, and Democrats are opposed to strip clubs because objectifying and exploiting women is bad, mmm'kay. After the sun goes down... well, the clubs are dimly lit for a reason.

'cat, It's BC. The Vancouver (BC) SC scene is great if you want to go to a bar, see some attractive women take their clothes off on stage, and do nothing with them. There are a couple of slight exceptions around if you want to drop a lot of money, but it doesn't begin to compare to a lot of other places in the world. OTOH, it's all I knew for the first five years I was going to clubs so I consider it normal (it's actually worse now than it was 15 - 20 years ago).

Quicksandman, Almost all of the clubs in the Vancouver area play sports on the TVs all the time, and many drop a big projection screen at the back of the stage between dancers' sets. Hockey is big when it's in season: the typical wait between sets is three songs, but the clubs will actually extend that during the playoffs. Since I also don't really give a crap about most team sports, I know where you're coming from. I usually take a book with me to read between sets. (Since most clubs are dimly lit, I use a white bookmark to read by reflected black light.) It's amazing how much attention that can get from the roaming dancers/massage girls/waitresses: no sports knowledge or conversation required.

Each to their own, I suppose. I'd much rather spend 6-8 minutes watching a show on the pole than a dancer who just crawls around the edge of the stage collecting tips and rubbing her tits in other guys' faces. However, I agree with Techman that the actual stripping should be done on stage, during the set, as the focus of the performance. At the Deja Vu in Vegas a lot of the dancers just nip backstage between songs and come back out naked - only place I've seen that done and I can't stand it.
