If you are sitting there wondering...

If you are sitting there wondering to yourself, "I wonder if Charlotte is still a crappy town for extras?" I can tell you that the answer is emphatically yes. I forget how spoiled I am living in Atlanta.

Dropped by on a Thursday around 5 pm. There was exactly 1 dancer and 3 patrons hanging out. If I hadn't showed up, the dancer would have likely finished the book she was reading. When you walk into the club, you have to pay a membership ($3 I think) before you are admitted. Immediately to the left is the bar. To the right and left of the bar are fairly big areas with stages on each side. This club touts itself as one of the longest running and privately owned clubs. The bar tender was very nice, but certainly not the club I remember visiting back in 1998.

How long did it take me to figure out I wasn't in Atlanta anymore? Oh, almost as soon as the guy in the couch room peeked out and said, "Watch the hands, bro." I had exactly one $25 dance in the couch room, and was called out for using my hands too much. I wouldn't even get a second glance in Atlanta. I will say this, the girl was pretty cool and appreciated that someone was giving her attention. Even after we left the hands restricted room, she sat on my lap and talked about her future.
