Meh

Had hit a bit of a Follies wall: Too many vists in a short space of time; recognized most of the dancers there; barely moved to interest by any of them. So took a break. A trip to a NY club while traveling made me miss the place so visited one more time, to see if anything had changed. My first Sunday visit so arrived too early and had to wait in the car while watching dancers arrive. Some driving themselves, others dropped off by an assortment of rides. That slice of real life didn’t help. Neither did mandatory valet, the extra delay waiting for late bar staff to arrive, or the entry fee.

Hmm. Must stick to the start of weekdays afternoon shifts. Anyway, once inside, it was early enough to pick my spot. Chose a high chair a few yards from the rest rooms. Looked around. Watched. Waited. Then a blonde I’d not seen before approached. Chatty. Pretty-ish. She suggested a dance. I said yes. After two I called time. She mumbled something about ‘“was it five or six dances?” First time that had happened to me. And she wasn’t even convincing with the attempt.

Insisted on my count of two. She agreed. Barley protested, then moved on. Still bored. And now wariness has crept in also. Decided to leave. But had to try a few random dancers in rapid succession. Just because... Even varied the ethnicity for some variety. Didn’t help. Really must leave a longer gap before returning. Or have to find somewhere else to visit.
