Per the wvec link, one of the defendants is Nicole *Bobbit* for indecent exposure -- perhaps a good place to stay away from indeed!

I think what screwed him was the $46,000+ improper campaign contributions more so than the $1,200 strip clubbin money.

You should 1) Realize this is a very large math story problem and 2) not a whole lot of math in most club managers heads.

W2s just have no idea how things work outside the employee-employer relationship. Hourly workers even less so.
Hell, the flour company probably had to pay the shopkeeper to advertise the product locally!

A lot of chains seem to be buying up clubs these days. This means well financially backed corporations with legitimate symbols on the public markets and professional management going up against city councils and churches. I think these bozos pretty much pick fights with the small fry guys. Not the financially backed and a bunch of attorneys in the back room.
I suspect that clubs will make a swing back to acceptance such as in the 90s. Hotels and such provide even more hard core entertainment than the local club (usually) does. Having CNBC also legitimize the business with business stories about it also helps.

Got to admit he has quite the little money maker idea though. Cities, churches, women's leagues - all sources of money and from what I read, it sounds like he maximizes profits on all of them!

I am glad to hear I'm not the only one that was dropping 2K/mnth on clubs. Actually - a dancer. I was a real RIL. Luckily I liked money more than she liked me, so it was pretty easy to move away when my project ended. (Still think about her now and then though.)
Before you say Holy Shit! at the time I was banking 12k/mnth. Hopefully she did something better with the money than I did.
Anyhow 2002 was the last year for me. Actually reading all the rip offs and bullshit going on in the clubs on this board makes it pretty easy to remember it's a young man's diversion.

I always found it quaint how strippers say they are going to become school teachers.

Some people call it "going to the club." GMD calls it "going to the lab."

As they say, women hold the keys to sex, but men hold the keys to a relationship.
I had a couple women hemming and hawing - I told them I wanted an adult relationship, not some high school bullshit (at least in my time) and moved on.

This is common in all entertainment businesses. When a major band is playing - do you think the venue is paying them? No. Its a producer or promoter who is paying them. And the producer and promoter is also paying the venue to use their stage.
A play is put on by a play group - do you think the stage is letting them use it free? No. Often it is a split of the tickets but the play group pays the stage for it's use.
Ever seen a strip club run by strippers? Of course not - why? You need lawyers, your name is all over the fucking place on papers and licenses, if something happens its you and your club in the newspaper... Strippers aren't going to go out and make their own club because they know how well they have it as it is.

"At one point during the alleged assault, Mr. Byfield ordered Mr. Blanchard to his knees and demanded he “pay homage†to him by reciting the words, “Oh great … brown dude, oh great … brown dude,†according to the lawsuit."
This really needs a hate crime attached to it. If it was whites doing this...
