The more things change, the less...

The more things change, the less they change. C-Mowes is pretty much the same dive/dump it's always been; the girls are the same 3-to-7 they've always been; the offers of extras are as real and frequent as they've always been.

What's new? Since the last time I was there there (admittedly, about 5 years ago) there's now a two-dance MAX for privates. I'm sure this is a state or county or city thing, since it's the same at all the other area clubs I went to. If you have a quick trigger, this is probably a fine thing; keeps cash outflow under control and causes the girls to get on with it.

Another option: buy a girl drinks at the bar. Sit at the bar on the far side of the doorman so that your barstool itself isn't within view. Your chosen lady will, almost certainly, eventually, nigh unto inevitably, begin to massage your arm. The arm the doorman can't see. That's assuming you're a gentleman, buy the girl drinks, tip the bar girl, tip the dancers...
