I have to admit, the older I get, and the more I get around the country, the less tolerant I have become for the dive-bar strip club experience. I knew what I was getting into before I walked in the door - so this is my fault - but I had hoped for better. And as an experienced monger, I was listening to the wrong head on this snowy cold Wednesday in Detroit. But I was hopeful to find an attractive lady, spend some money, buy her a drink or two and leave satisfied. So here I was, walking in to Bogarts and as I walked through the door I get hit by an overwhelming cloud of smoke. I sit at the bar and immediately I am besieged by the "girls without a regular", before I can even order my drink (please girls, just give me 5 minutes to get my drink and get situated). The talent level was pretty low, and most girls are over 35-40. Anything worth looking at has a regular buying her drinks and another one in line. I finally saw a decent, slightly heavy brunette, possibly Hispanic, dancing her ass off at the pole. I walked up and tipped her generously and we agreed to meet up at the bar. Long story short we ended up in one of the nasty VIP rooms. She was fun, funny, talkative, and sexy and I ended up with what I wanted. But in retrospect I felt really dirty after leaving here - smokey, unclean VIP, more crazy girls than not. I think it's my last visit to Bogarts.

It has been a while. This used to be my territory, then I was moved to the South. But I was back for a meeting and decided to hit up an old standby and man, has this place dropped off. A few years back I recall a room with a 20+ guys and multiple girls dancing and the crowd was fun and the girls were fun. This week it was the opposite. The place was dead. The girls were not hot (6 and below) and not interested in giving a dance. I had a few drinks and left. Sad that things change, but I know they do. I am hoping it was just a bad night.

Made my first trip back to Madison in several years for work. Bored, so I decided to try out Silk again after a 2-year hiatus. Some things never change. When I pulled up around 9 the lot was pretty empty, walked in and so was the bar. Me an 4 other guys. There were 5 or 6 young ladies working and several were occupied by 2 of the other guys (regulars) and seemed to have no interest in anyone else. Everyone was nice, but I just felt like an outsider. I sat at the bar and ordered a drink and a decent looking brunette sat down next to me and chatted me up while a really hot blonde was dancing on stage. I'm sure I was being rude but I had a hard time hearing the brunette while I watched the blonde from afar and the brunette was clearly pissed. At this point, I just wasn't feeling it and left. I probably should have given this place more of a chance, but everything was pointing in the wrong direction. Maybe I'll try again some other time on a busier night.
