Sam, the DJ likely encouraged the tipping because the dancers need some dough to tip her at the end of the night. That said, had I been in your shoes, I might well called it a night and left.

Troop, while it's certainly possible, he was just in Detroit (presumably because he didn't want to 'beat around the bush' ;)

GMD, now THAT'S some venting!!! I wonder whether sir DJ would've snapped had you added an inquiry to the bartender about a customer feedback form being available to inform management?

Sam, that's a regular "by request" item at The Hip Hugger in Kokomo, IN. I've seen dancers do it while on stage at Brad's Brass, but recent reviews of that club indicate the gals are now told to stay above the waistline.

I wonder how many strippers RonCo has taken home???

Why not walk out and immediately complain to the nearest bouncer first about the dancer taking call(s) during a lapper? Save the $20 for a more deserving gal. On the flip side: One time, during an arousing 4 for $100 booth dance with a sexy gal (at a pretty tame place though), my cell went off midway through song 4. It was a friend calling from the west coast, a habit of his during his commutes. I figured he would be game, so I handed it to the dancer and asked her to answer and say hello. She answers "Hey, baby!" Course she picked up on him being surprised, and quick on her feet, responded with a sexy "When are you coming over???" I let it go on for a little longer before stepping in to reclaim the phone and put my friend at ease. But at least he got a little unexpected sugar during his commute!

Along the same lines... Had some regular dances from a looker at Flight Club in Detroit only to find out she didn't offer anything more. We then stepped out of the VIP and she led me to the rail. (From the balcony) she then pointed to every gal below and gave a scouting report. She had so much intel I should've had a scorecard and pencil to take notes!

Is that a role which suggests her acting career is largely over?

Sam, Penthouse is north, but I really lucked into a heck-of-a deal last time there. Frankly, it put everything else in Detroit to shame.

At the immortal House of Babes in Columbus, OH., one can buy a dancer the $500 'fish bowl' drink (so named because of it's sheer size.) The dancer's cut is $167 (unless she needs medical services for alcohol poisoning!)

That's quite a read, Doug!

At least her father didn't knock on the door to ask how much money she brought home while you were there.

GMD has me thinking about another visit to The Penthouse in Detroit.

Seeing as how budget cuts will soon hit with greater force, what's the liklihood the steps of the county courthouse (traditional protest locale) get abreak as the officers gather on the street outside Mr. Ekas' domain? At 2 am and seek to exercise their right to free speech? On multiple nights?

Troop, I'd advise him to save his dough for either Detroit or the Indiana clubs. Hard to think, but he is, spending more for lower mileage dances in Columbus.

Art, does Million Dollar have the equivalent janitorial service? Cannonball's bathroom was a pigsty, yet the guy changes lightbulbs on the desk lamps in VIP (at least when I was there!)

Sundowner is overrated. Cannonball has just as good, if not better-looking talent (though I was there on "payday" Friday afternoon ...), and the extras menu is full go. Maybe the Sundowner has the edge on furniture; otherwise ...

Wino, I think Art was trying to put distance between his post and GMD's 'avatar pic for a day'...

Don't know about your avatar pic, VM. But if you want to see a candidate, venture to Post Bar on Michigan Ave. in Dearborn. She bartends on weekend afternoons. Got to see her (Michigan vs. MSU) Saturday in tank top, baseball hat with brunette hair in ponytail out the back. Sunday she was dressed casual, sweater over turtleneck. Of course the melons were there both times... Here's a pretense for going: The $2 soft taco lunch deal (11am to 4pm daily.)

Electronman, at least your Indy trip will be inexpensive! Could mean more money for Detroit (ie Penthouse, and I see you were just there! That's the reigning value champ now imo!) But if you must ... I had more dancer offers for OTC at Hip Hugger in Kokomo (by far) than at Brad's Brass in Indy.

Tttclub, your piece is well-written but misplaced. Submit it to Founder as an article and get your 1-month free award.

Somehow those anecdotes would seem to fit in at H8S.

Ruby?! Almost didn't see her coming last time at Bogart's, her in camo gear and all.

Bet the owner would've authorized ultra high mileage if they were IRS employees ...

Timbo, having done that, and in so doing followed the crowd, I can tell you it is well worth the time to "reverse the flow". When Bogart's has their $10 day Tuesdays, Henry's North is dead and deals can be had (course it's hit or miss on the talent...) Fans of $10 topless two-way grind fests should note the Indiana clubs in TUSCL's Top Ten.
