Nothing special

Wanted to unwind a bit, so I checked TUSCL while passing through Ft. Wayne and decided this was my best option at that moment. Just a few minutes off the Interstate, and the area seemed safe enough on this Friday afternoon. Several cars in the parking lot, but pretty dead inside - I think I saw 3 or 4 dancers, a waitress or 2, bartender, a couple of bouncer/manager types and a handful of fellow PLs. Maybe everybody else drove a couple of cars each. Seemed like the size would support a much larger crowd.

Don't recall a cover charge. Took a seat that wasn't too close but not too far from the one stage that was in use. With tip, the bottled water was in the $4-5 range, so pretty typical.

Surveyed the talent and wasn't terribly impressed - all seemed to be the older variety and not really my speed. An AA was on stage, but I didn't get up to tip. Was offered a dollar dance by Jewels (I recognized the name from a review). As pickings were slim, I accepted. It was nice enough but not enough to convince me to go private just yet. She was about to take the stage, so I told her to come back after.

Noticed a slimmer dancer making the rounds and ducking out a side door to the outside. Took a couple of other staffers heading in and out before I surmised that this must be an outdoor smoking area. Made a mental note to pull around that side of the building before I drove away. (I did, and some metal walls kept the smoking area free of prying eyes, which makes sense considering at least one dancer went out there in lingerie.)

The slimmer dancer (dont recall her hame) made her way over and I took the dollar dance from her. She explained the private and VIP options: $20/song for private and -I think- $75 for 30 min VIP. The VIP was tempting, but I didn't have the time. Instead, I opted for a $20 topless private dance. On the way to the private area, she pointed out the VIP rooms and hinted they were a lot more fun, but the beaded curtains being the only barrier between each VIP room and the rest of the club left me dubious.
