First visit to club this year,post...

First visit to club this year,post 1030pm- The most immediate noticeable change was the lower volume level of music/DJ patter making for more pleasant convo with dancer. This was an off-peak night with club only half full. Some details as follows:

COSTS/ORIENTATION: Night cover was $8 this time. I made sure to pick up a Nuvo paper on other side of popcorn machine for future visits. Called mixed drink was $6.25, same as my 2013 visit. One new twist that I saw was a table with a ~ 30" tall giant test tube looking container full of beer with a tap on bottom. I was told by quartet of young bucks at table that it is a 100 oz. "Tower" that costs $20 for the beer on tap. Learn something new every day. Another thing that I learned prior to arriving in club was that (for those coming from airport/west side of town) should avoid the Sam Jones run into Raymond Ave. route like the plague. There are several railroad crossings on Raymond Ave. I was delayed nearly 10 minutes at one of them while a long train pulled forward, and then backed up !

DANCER CREW/ ATMOSPHERE: I either missed the All-Skate, or else it is now discontinued, or run sporadically. I would guess there were ~ 20 dancers there, with a beauty scale from 4-8.5, mostly around 7ish. Tops were 2 athletic build young blondes with a smattering of young midrange naturals, a few milfs, a roundish Asian, and (I'm guessing on this) a mixed Black/Asian spinner. Despite thin crowd level, there were always 2 dancers on stage, with occasional late shows by new dancer in rotation. Stageside interaction was solid as usual. Offstage, as others have mentioned, dancers tend to sit with regulars. I'd add that some tend to retreat back to dressing room for a spell, though there appeared to be 1-2 dancers that would circulate amound the tables for the dollar dances. Early on, one stage dancer asked me if I'd like to get a dance.(I deferred for the time being.) Generally, one needs to be proactive for getting dances here.
