First visit in 20 years

The last time I was in here, the crowd was so rough that I left without seeing even one bare pussy. The scene has improved a lot, but you'll never confuse BM for BSC. Small, dark, dank and even a bit smelly. I knew the score, so I left my sunglasses in the truck, closed one eye and went inside.

The door man was looking at me funny, shelling out $12 with one eye closed, but it may have helped me transition from the bright sunlight to the cavelike lighting inside. I found a place to sit and ordered a $3 soda from a dancer. I never saw her again, but the next girl on stage held my attention pretty well. I tipped her a couple of ones and she suggested I sit away from the stage area. Good advice. She joined me shortly thereafter and clued me in on the pricing structure.

We chatted for a couple of songs and she started in on the Blue Moon "2 and 1", a lot of mutual exploring with handshake. I rounded the $46 to $50, and tipped another $10 on top of that. (Yeah, I can hear you already, "DON'T SPOIL THE GIRLS, YER RUININ' IT FOR THE REST OF US!" She earned it, end of story.) I hung a while longer, then hit the road with a relaxed smile on my face. All in all, accept the palace's limitations and enjoy the ride.
