Club StaffSeveral years ago I made friends with a bartender at the Penthouse Club in Tampa. He would send girls to me that he thought I might like while steering me away from some. He later moved to another bar and I started going there too. For a bit, after he left bartending to be a stable dad, I kept in touch with him but it's been a while since I spoke to him now.
I didn't always agree to dances from girls he would send over but most of the time I did.

Living in a Red State vs BlueYeah. I'm having a hard time even thinking of one service provided by government that affects my life other than the US Mail, which is forced to run like a private company to a degree.
Yes there is police service but circumstances surrounding that service are making law enforcement a less desirable profession choice. EMT's and hospitals are mostly private. Fire service is something I have never used but is valuable to have. That's about all I can see that helps me personally even though I don't use these services.

Life with one strip clubI don't do the nude with no alcohol clubs, so I really only have a single club right now, Pacers. I just don't go in my hometown. Luckily, I travel for work, so I have opportunities during business trips. I also schedule personal trips just to go play with girls wearing their underwear. Maybe it's a good thing I don't have so many places close to me.
I also have LA and TJ close but I'm just not into those places. LA takes an hour to go 5 miles sometimes and TJ is just TJ.

Dancer Alert: New Source of Whales?Only problem is pilots have to keep a low profile in these days with everyone with a camera. I stay at a lotof airport hotels but rarely run into someone who will admit to being a pilot. Flight attendants will party with you though.

Greatest TV show opening theme songA couple of All in the Family spin-offs had good songs. The Jeffersons and Maude. Wonder Years had Joe Cocker. Not a huge fan of Reggae but the COPS theme is cool and fitting.

If you had to start over again, where would you live?@Muddy. I own my place outright here now so that is why I won't get rid of it anytime soon. To come in now, I wouldn't do it with where the rest of CA is going.
Still, it's not a total shitshow like SF or LA, yet. I'll be spending some time here for the rest of my life I would guess. It's too nice of a place not to. I just don't want to live here as a resident of CA anymore. It's CA and it's policies that will drive me out, not San Diego.

Phx mongers weigh in?If you are looking for something a little more ghetto, you could try Bandaids during the day. I haven't been there for a long time but it had an airport style magnetometer last time I was there. I went at night when I went but there are fun places to go in Phoenix that are not as shady at night.

If you had to start over again, where would you live?I live in San Diego and, so far anyway, it's still not terribly hit by the rest of the crazy shit in the rest of California. So, it's still a great place. However, stupid stuff going on at the state level will probably prompt me to seek a second residence in the near future. I will still keep my little piece of paradise, however.

Possible Fourth of July TripI've never been down there on that weekend but the 4th of July is just the 4th day of July down there. It's not a holiday.
I used to go down there and bet on Monday night football and then hit the Zona. There were plenty of chicas on those Mondays.

In the recorded history of the mankind, has the door vulture ever worked out?@Muddy. You don't have to spend to go in and see what the brothel experience is all about. Yes, they will line up but the going to the bar trick is a good idea. The girls that line up are usually readily available for a reason.
I went in the 80's but, at the time, the deal is closed in the room with the girl. I was shown a very high priced menu and I just said I'm willing to pay this much and quoted my price. She then went up to the mamma san with the fee you agreed to.
I wouldn't go back but it was something I got crossed off my bucket list early in life. The approach in Nevada seems a lot more thorough from a medical stanpoint than TJ as the girls have to have testing that is checked by the state. They also almost give you a physical before they play with your junk.

In the recorded history of the mankind, has the door vulture ever worked out?If you ever went to the brothels in Nevada, this is how they do business. When you approach, you encounter a locked gate and must ring a bell to gain entry. That bell ring triggers the unoccupied girls to line up and greet you as soon as you walk in the door.
The first time I went, I went with a buddy and he made his choice out of the group, but I deferred. I went to the bar to wait for my buddy but observed that the hotter girls weren't in the lineup group and would wander around the bar area when they were free. I only went a couple more times in my early 20's but learned that I should say I am going to have a drink before picking a girl and wait for the hot ones to come out to the bar area.
I never encountered a situation exactly like you've described as being met at the door, but have been approached fairly quickly once I've found a seat. I usually just say I just arrived and not ready to get a dance at the moment

gammanu95My casual drinking is your alcohol poisoning.
Saudi Arabia is slashing oil supply. It could mean higher gas prices...One of the strong selling points for our current President was supposed to be his handling of foreign policy. Since he's been in office, he's pissed off the Saudis, China won't talk to us, Putin invaded Ukraine, North Korea is going crazy again and Iran is getting close to being a nuclear power.
I guess it's a good thing our President is so good at foreign policy.

Where is the absolute, hands down worst place for strip clubs? This is extracted from the written code of San Diego County. This is the letter of the law. Thankfully, it's not enforced to the letter but when the powers that be want to, they could close any club for not following the letter of the law. The 6' rule has been around a long time here.
a. It shall be a violation of this chapter for a patron, employee or any other person in an adult entertainment establish ent, to knowingly or intentionally appear in a state of nudity regardless of whether such public nudity is expressive in nature.
b. It shall be a violation of this chapter for an employee in an adult entertainment establishment, to knowingly or intentionally appear in a state of semi-nudity unless the employee is at least six (6) feet from the nearest area occupied by patrons and on a stage elevated at least eighteen (18) inches from the floor.
c. It shall be a violation of this chapter for an employee, who regularly appears in a state of semi-nudity in the adult entertainment establishment, to knowingly or intentionally receive any pay or gratuity directly from any patron, or for any patron to knowingly or intentionally pay or give any gratuity directly to any employee who appears in a state of semi-nudity in the adult entertainment establishment.
d. It shall be a violation of this chapter for an employee who regularly appears in a state of semi-nudity in an adult entertainment establishment, to knowingly or intentionally touch a customer or the clothing of a customer while on the premises of the
