Club continues to impress daytime. Always a diverse group of dancers -- at least a few of whom are very cute. Current favorite is Nikki (sweet blonde, usually MWF afternoons). She seems to have adapted well to the new model there (indeed, I'd say that her dances downstairs are as good or better than they were back in the old days--but nothing hands-on, of course). One of these days I have to take her upstairs (would be nice to hear from others who have done so).

The pricing model for upstairs is what bugs me most here. It isn't the total, it's the up-front part before you're dealing one-on-one with the dancer. I'd be much happier with a model where you could get a couch for $50 for 15 minutes (or more for longer) but where it is clear that once you do that, you have to arrange a tip for (and that goes to) the dancer. Maybe I've just had too many weak experiences up there (probably only 50% lived up to expectations).

On the bright side, daytime, which used to be "dead stage" time, now seems to have enough dancers to keep things going nearly full time!
