Expensive way to see a thong

Paper moon has a lock on the local market. VA is not strip club friendly. You'd think there would be some leeway, at least in Northern VA, where you can just skip across the river into DC and get fully nude dancers. I mean, pasties and thongs are a big trade off just to get a close dance. And man, this place is a bad value for money. It's a $12 cover, even on week nights. The place was 75% empty on the night I popped in for an hour or so. Domestic beers are an astounding $8. "Lap" dances will run you $20 for 2 songs, and private rooms start at $60 for 2 songs. And while the women are generally 7s and 8s, it's just not worth $10 a minute to have pasties in your face. You may as well just watch the stage and tip singles. There isn't much action at the stage and the girls will give you plenty of attention for $5 stretched out over a song. The down side is, $5 on stage will have the girls pressuring you for lap dances or private dances, which might worth it at HALF the price. I mean, 2 songs is at MOST 6 or 7 minutes. You do the math. Sadly, you have to drive about 30 minutes to get better in MD or DC, so I guess some suckers are willing to play ball in the private area.
