Better than I expected

I'd never been to the Emerald Club before, but had been to Mouse's Ear, which I found really lame, so I didn't expect much here. $10 to get in, no drink minimum. Fairly small room. One stage, and club is better lit than most strip clubs. DJ/music was too loud, so had to yell to have a conversation. About 10 girls there, and better looking than I expected. A little bit of variety. A girl who (from a distance) looks a little like Taylor Swift sits next to me and starts chatting me up. Thin, small boobs, and not really my type. We talk about her hobbies, and eventually a 2-for-1 VIP dance special for $40 rolls around. Figuring this is the best I'll do, we head to the VIP after she promises to make me leave happy. This is Knoxville, so that phrase doesn't mean here what it does is most other clubs. However, it's a full contact nude lapdance with lots of friction, and lots of stroking, and mutual touching (only yelled at by bouncer once). Overall, probably the best evening possible in Knoxville. This club pales in comparison to good bigger city clubs in other parts of the country, but is way, way better than Mouse's Ear.
