Friday

I’ve been away for a year, and I must say the club looks a lot nicer insider. When last I was there, they had already upgraded the bathroom and ditched the pool table. They’ve added new couches to the couch room, raised the TV screen, and dropped the satellite stage near the entrance. Also, it was generally less smoky, and a dancer told me that this was because of a better ventilation system. Anyway, it seemed even darker inside, but more like a real club.

The biggest surprise was that I was inside for at least ten minutes before a waitress hit me up for a drink. Of course, they were on their game whenever a dancer sat next to me.

On this Friday night, at least 15 dancers were on duty. Surprisingly, only about two were familiar faces. The songs seemed to be cut, but not as short as they used to be.
