Thursday night after work and found...

Thursday night after work and found Men's Gallery looked a much better prospect than the alternative nearby. Lots of hot girls in the club, but not enough fellow punters.

The best news is that entry is now free before 8pm weeknights (Facebook says 9pm, but the door told me it was 8pm). Day rates for private shows continue until 9pm, so I had a drink and watched the stage for a bit.

Tipped my $5 for Robyn on stage and she joined me for a drink after. I allowed myself to be talked in to 45 minutes (the minimum time for the VIP rooms out the back). Not a cheap undertaking, but she was something special. All natural and happy to let me enjoy what she had for the whole time.

Stuck around after the private and started chatting to Ashleigh - a very easy-going New Yorker who had just arrived in Sydney after a third tour of duty to Guam. Daytime rates had long finished but I thought it would be worthwhile ponying up for the $90 15-minute private show out the front. I discussed the rules with Ash and she told me she could play dumb if anyone interupted. Sure enough, after 1 minute of close-up work on the couch we were reminded of the rules in the private rooms out front - dancer and customer stay on opposite sides of the room. Neither of us were too happy about that.

Two pieces of advice for anyone going to Mens Gallery:
