Hey - thanks for all the input. I really do appreciate it! First, you have confirmed one thing. This wasn't some obvious scam. It wasn't something that everyone jumped on and said they heard about or had experience with. Here are some more clues and what I think I conclude. I don't know if these clues help but, here goes... 1. I'm 45 years old and have been to a zillion stip clubs. I'm always on my toes for scams and rarely drink to excess to make sure I don't get ripped off. 2. I never want to sit and chat at these clubs. I'm not there for the chat and typically do all I can to avoid it. When you get an attractive and smart woman talking to you about the movie Goodfellas and Full Metal Jacket, things change. It is hard to explain how different and fun the conversation was. 3. Good point about her hanging out after the shift. I did notice that some of the waitstaff and other dancers didn't seem to know her. I was thinking that she was not a club employee but there is one thing that didn't fit. An hour or so into the conversation she excused herself and got up. She came back wearing a new outfit. I figured that meant she worked there *BUT* now I'm remembering seeing lockers in the mens bathrooms and wondering if she was a club member with a locker? 4. What led up to the $10.00 incident is totally fuzzy. I do not think she asked for money. As best as I can recall it was a comment out of left field that seemed to be made so that others could hear it. That is my best recollection. 5. The comment about the drinks is a good one. I have not ruled out the possibility that my intoxication was not 100% from drinking. We were going toe to toe all night. We matched rounds and we both drank the same amount. I am typically able to handle that amount of alcohol without issue so I wonder about that. Here is my conclusion. It started for the drinks. I was just another bar patron that could be milked for some drinks. That much is clear. After that, one of two things happened. A. She got as much out of me as she could, was a true serious drinker and needed more and used a standard line to loudly advertise why she was moving on after she realized I was hammered. or B. She was as drunk as me and snapped a bit and just did something odd. Perhaps there was something in the conversation that had her a little interested in me but she finally popped out of it and dumped me? I'm thinking it wasn't a pre-planned run-of-the mill scam. The only thing that doesn't fit is her talking about moving on to another club. That made no sense if she was truly milking me for drinks all along.

She was wearing street clothes whe she first started chatting. An all white skirt and jacket. She changed into a similar outfit that was all black. We joked about it being odd. I'm 90% sure she never asked for money, even indirectly. I wasn't running a tab either. I was paying for rounds and tipping the server on every round so there was no money due at the end of the night.

That is consistent with the fact that our server had no idea who she was. It is a pretty good routine if you wanht to drink all night for free I suppose. I'm thinking that the club would frown on her messing with the guests on a regular basis though. Word would get around quickly and she would get tossed. Who knows, she may move from club to club? Well, I'm in Pittsburgh tonight to see what kind of strange situation I can get myself into. If anything happens again I'll have to hire Monk to figure it out.
