High Price equals High Return

Hadn't been into the Sands in a long time and I remember telling myself that I would never return, but I found myself in the Ballard area on a slow weekday afternoon and decided what the heck.

I entered, paid the "No Cover drink charge" and sat back to watch an empty stage and get used to being the only customer in the place. It is a strange feeling, but those who have been to the Sands before realize that this is not the party atmosphere that some of the other clubs cater to. This is a laid back relax environment that I would compare to an old town cigar bar feel to it. Dark, quiet, but your needs will be met.

I sat for a minute or so alone, which feels like forever, until a tall brunette with decent man-mades took the stage and danced a set of two songs. She immediately made her way to me after the stage show and explained that there were only two other girls working at the time. I recognized one of the other names she mentioned and realized that this dancer was probably as good as it was going to get.
