Dropped by on a Monday night....

Dropped by on a Monday night. Pretty dead. I'm usually a weekend guy, but since it was a holiday vacation week for me, I had time to make a short visit. I don't know why I even bothered. One of may favorites wasn't there. I was told by a dancer that management has ONCE AGAIN installed some silly rules. The club already was suffering. Kalamazoo is too close to Detroit so much of of the core money-spendnig base had already left for better clubs. As told to me, until further notice, if the dancers are nude, there can be no contact. And touching is no longer tolerated in the VIP rooms.

The private rooms are $200 for 30 minutes (plus tip) and that is a helluva lot of money to spend for what is essentially an air dance.

It's too bad. Physically, the club is nice. New building in a relatively safe area. Well-lit parking lot with uniformed security. Crowd typically is not thuggish. Only complaint is the music is often played at a very high decibel level. Talent varies, but usually there are a few very attractive dancers. And some are happy to bend the rules just a little. But the "new" rules have the girls a little skittish. Hoping things turn for the better. Soon. Real soon.
