Sounds like the Hip Hugger...

I'd vote for south Florida (because of the tropic weather) first, Art. Houston has always sounded interesting. But on the Cannonball: next time there, I'd sit in the elevated section by the bar. There's a row of tables up there from which one can see the stage/porno on the big screen, etc., and if you sit facing the notorious VIP section (there's two, and the seldom used one near the front door would be behind you -- little miss Claudia wanted to get freaky back there on my visit...) you can see which dancers are circulating the most to the VIP area, how many guys are buying, etc. IMO it's the ideal seating spot for Cannonball, and as an added bonus you'll be able to see any sneak attacks coming!

Um, a half a dance?! A messy finish I presume???

Where are JUB's reviews???

"“It is a terrible idea to invite total strangers into your house, especially after you have been drinking,” said Minneapolis Lt. Mike Fossum. “You are going to be set up for a future burglary or you are going to get a home-invasion that night.” Almost four days later, investigators are still looking for the armed robbers. “It is not the first time they have done a home-invasion and it definitely won’t be their last. So, we want to catch them before they can rob someone else,” said Fossum, who supervises the MPD Robbery Unit. He said these types of robbery are very under-reported because most victims are too embarrassed to come forward or they have also been involved in illegal activities. “About eight out of 10 persons don’t report the crime,” said Lt. Fossum who said about three or four times a year he gets similar reports. He said the two victims in the Uptown robbery are lucky they didn’t get shot — or worse. He has this advice for men looking to be entertained by exotic dancers. “If you want to go and see some strippers, go to the legitimate clubs that we have all over the metro area. At least it is safe, somewhat safe, in there, opposed to having somebody come to your home,” said Fossum. One of the victims, who said he feared for his safety and did not want to be identified, said he hopes that by reporting the crime to police it will help prevent someone else from getting hurt. He also said he hopes his experience will make other men “think before you go drinking. It skews your decision-making process.”" ================================================================ "To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."

Jack, here's the inspiration: http://www.fortunecity.com/banners/interstitial.html?http://www.fortunecity.com/lavendar/poitier/135/woohoo.wav

Thank you, Vince. Truth-be-told, I tried the same thing when I was at Hip Hugger, except I handed it to the guy next to me at the bar so he could provide his overview of the club that night. Found out later he had recently been parolled...

When nirvana is achieved, draw a deep breath, thrust both arms skyward (like you just won the Tour de France), and let out a loud "Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!" If the bartender hears you he may well serve you up a free one on the house...

The "Got Milk?" folks should sue to preserve their marketing brand. VM: It's not fair for you to finger Rush Limbaugh again...

At least they stayed away from The Hugger!

Usually on me. It vibrated once late during the final song of a 3- or 4-song set in VIP. The place was relatively low mileage so I wasn't going to miss much by answering it. Dancer scooted off and I noticed the number was a friend (who calls during his commutes.) I handed the phone to the dancer and told her to answer it. She did, and immeditely snapped into flirty/sexy mode: big smile and hand tossing her long hair over back of her head. She then laid on the "Hey baby! When are you coming OVER???" I'm sure my friend was quite amused...

Yeha, Prim0: head for Detroit but take along a bulletproof vest (at least until the AK-47 crew goes down...) Art, a bottled water is $6.50 at Bogart's. I usually raise it to $8 with the tip. Last time in though the bartendress only gave me back $1 out of my $10. Why? Because she got wind I tip one of the waitresses $1 everytime in (for nothing, eh, protection money from the waitress' b*tchy side!!!) and said waitress gives me a big hug and kiss everytime now. Anyways, bartendress indicated she wanted to be treated the same way and thereby she deducted the $1 without my permission. I WAS TICKED. I haven't been back to Bogart's since, fyi. I'd advise anyone to start at Penthouse Club and then Hustler Club to sample their day shifts first.

And to think I thought Michigan Ave. is worse than 8 Mile...

At least you've managed to write two reviews prior to asking which gals may be inclined to break local laws... You'll probably have to work to earn a gal's confidence AND additionally hope she's in a fund-raising mode.

Art, I'm on board with RICK shares being a poor investment. And I should've shorted it after being in their Vegas locale a year ago New Year's. It couldn't hold a candle to Spearmint Rhino, fyi. Who's up for some fun? Pick the oddball out of the following: Insider Transactions Reported - Last Two Years Date Insider Shares Type Transaction Value* Dec 29, 2010 MARSHALL PHILLIP KENT Officer 500 Direct Purchase at $8.25 per share. 4,125 Sep 24, 2010 ANAKAR NOUR-DEAN Director N/A Direct Statement of Ownership N/A Aug 24, 2010 MARSHALL PHILLIP KENT Officer 750 Direct Purchase at $6.16 per share. 4,620 Jul 14, 2010 WATTERS ROBERT L Director 10,000 Direct Option Exercise at $2.80 per share. 28,000 Jul 14, 2010 LANGAN ERIC SCOTT Officer 5,000 Direct Option Exercise at $2.80 per share. 14,000 Jun 16, 2010 REESE TRAVIS Officer 5,000 Direct Sale at $9.30 per share. 46,500 May 18, 2010 REESE TRAVIS Officer 5,000 Direct Option Exercise at $2.80 per share. 14,000 As only the NOBLEST practitioners of capitalism load up on options priced near the bottom, what in the world is Mr. Marshall doing by paying good money for his shares?!?

I dunno about Bogart's... last time in I got charged $9 for a bottled water. Art may disagree, but I think $9 for a bottled water may well be worse than $800 for FS.

And yes, CalPERS is a holder of Rick's stock. And yes, the PA teacher's retirement fund used to be like the 3rd largest shareholder. If Sam remembers that he can vouch for it.

Art, your homework is admirable! According to MSNMoney, Eric Langdan, the CEO of RICK's holds about 12% of all shares = he's a one-man short squeeze... During the recent financial meltdown, RICK stock cratered to $2.53 a share. By last March it had rebounded to $15+. Then it melted back down to about $7. The whole time Eric never sold a share. The ability to search for insider sales has now been removed from MSNMoney, meaning Eric's sell orders, when they do come, won't be seen. While I too am skeptical about the propects of RICK's (their Vegas location is a disaster...) our Fed (well the U.S. version) seems hell-bent on buying up any type of paper to reinflate the economy. Just don't ask to see what they're holding!

Dive bars in Colombus -- like The House of Babes???

Sam, I just checked RICK on www.msnmoney.com. The site has changed (for the worse!) No longer can one pull up the transactions of insiders. Also, the PA teachers retirement fund if no longer one of the top holders of RICK stock. Instead they've been replaced by CalPERS...

Or, just move a seat away...

Probably Pure Platinum 2. Unlike most San Diego clubs, they serve alcohol and don't have the "moat" around the stage. This allows for the best railside contact of any area club. Cheetah's has the best-looking gals, but has a moat around the stage. Their Jungle Room is geared towards high school makeout sessions (not sure whether this would work out too well for a couple w/ dancer...) Stay away from the Deja Vu on Midway. The DJ runs 2-for-1 dance specials, but the best-looking gals all run for the locker room when it's announced. Further, a server always interrupts a VIP dance to ask wehtehr you'd like to buy the lady a drink even though you're on the clock for $100. Sh*tty club.

Just added a Charlie Sheen story to the blog section...

I dunno about that one, Vince. I think the AK-47 gang is heading towards a shootout with SWAT. And I wouldn't want to be about to become a hostage when it all goes bad...

Canada has standards, that's why Art doesn't know about those two... If I had Charlie Sheen's cash, I'd be overseas having my fun. That would be out of reach of the domestic paparazzi, and likely of little interest to the native folks wherever I was (France, etc.)
