I like a number of things...

I like a number of things about this club - discreet parking, seems relatively secure, in mixed use neighborhood (right next to a McDonalds). No cover until later in the evening. Nice interior. Little or no drink pressure, waitresses are nice and typically very good looking. Tip-outs are low, so dancers are not high pressure either, and will sit with you a long time. Also music is not so loud that you can't have a conversation.

Now for this particular occasion... sat down at a table between the door and the stage, and ordered two domestics for $9. Very soon a dancer comes from behind me and says "I know you... " I didn't recognize her at first, but it turns out to be Lanay, formally "Faith", from John's Hot Spot and Bogarts. Actually I never would have recognized her, because instead of her signature short blond hair and boots she's wearing a long gown and has long straight red hair! We talk for awhile, then after agreeing to visit the VIP she disappears to "freshen up" - for too long, really. When she comes back she asks if I have a breath mint... when I say no, she disappears for another while. In the meantime I turn down several offers. Finally we visit the VIP where extras are not offered but I have a great time. If you're looking for company she's great... will definitely keep the conversation going.

I will return to the Cricket as there are a number of dancers I like in addition to "Faith".
