While travelling to Nashville last Saturday...

While travelling to Nashville last Saturday I spotted a billboard on I-81 south about 10-12 miles south of the Tennessee/Virginia border for a gentleman’s club, The Mouse’s Ear. I was way overdue for a driving break and figured it would beat the hell out of a typical rest stop, even if it was a hole in the wall. The club is 3.5 miles off the interstate and located on the left just before an intersection of two main highways. I missed the entrance on my first pass but once I realized I had travelled too far and turned around I saw a big sign for the club with an arrow pointing down a paved driveway. The club is off the highway but is clearly visible once you know where to look.

You first enter a small room for checking IDs and collecting the cover charge, which was $10 at 5:30 on Saturday evening. The club is one open room with the main stage opposite the entrance and a smaller stage that was not in use at the time of my visit. There is a small bar to the right of the entrance but it was clearly not intended for people to sit and drink at the bar but instead sit out in the room and enjoy the ladies. One other customer was present, sitting at a table well away from the stage and one dancer was on stage “working it” for a practically empty room. I was only there for some diversionary eye candy so I immediately sat at the stage with a small pile of bills. A waitress approached and I bought a bottle of water for $3.75. The dancers were on two song rotations and were fully nude by the middle of the second song. During my short stay I saw four gorgeous nude women. The dancers entered and left a dressing room before and after their sets so I can’t say how many were around that evening. One dancer, Raven, didn’t leave the room and sat with me at the stage when she was done and I bought her a drink for $4.50. She explained that the club was no-touch and table dances were available for $10, couch dances $20, and shower dances for $40. Raven had a heartbreaking combination of big beautiful blue eyes, black hair, and light skin. If I hadn’t been on a short schedule she could have easily drained my wallet; I have to admit that the decision to abstain was made easier by the no-touch policy. There’s little difference between watching at the stage and while sitting on a sofa in the empty room, and the stage is a better deal.

Overall it was a great diversion on a long drive and I would return if the opportunity ever presented itself. The 4.5 hours to Nashville went by a little more quickly with the images of those lovely bodies and Raven’s beautiful face.
