Checked out the IS based on...

Checked out the IS based on reviews here. Don't seem to be too many good options in the Chicagoland area for value/mileage. Quite frankly...not bad. Mind you this was a midweek night. The manager and security/cashier were both very welcoming upon my entering. They were up front in their spiel about the club (i.e., that it's a full friction club) and price schedule. Had 15 girls on shift. Was a little disappointed that no cigars were allowed...don't good cigars smell better than cigarettes? Anyway...

Got settled in, and was asked if I wanted company. A cornfed type, so I declined politely ("just hanging out right now). An Eastern Bloc girl, Oksana, also walked my way. This time I didn't decline her from sitting at the table. Chatted her up, and subtly looked around to get an idea of the talent on a weeknight. There were a few lookers, for my tastes. Decent variety, but nothing like a megaclub. That's to be expected.

Noticed that above the bar a monitor displays the dancers on shift and where they are in stage dances. Definitely a good way to line up when to go to the tipping bar. I could see that coming in verrry handy in a pinch.
