the chain restaurant of clubs

This is a super professional club. You can almost tell it’s a publicly traded company. The up side to this is that you can hang out there without feeling too much pressure. There is nothing seedy or threatening about it. The down side is that it is almost boring. It is like you are watching beautiful women perform stripper moves at a national chain restaurant franchise.

I was in town for work and stopped in after doing an internet search about local strip clubs in the area and reading about their cheap brunch special. It was still early afternoon and I needed to eat so figured, why not get some entertainment while I’m eating alone? It was rainy that day and I figure that’s what made it extra dead inside. There was one woman dancing on stage and maybe two women and one massage woman working the floor — none of whom were to my liking. I may have been the only customer. About 20 minutes into my visit I was wondering if I should just go back to my hotel.

Then I was approached by a short half-Latina, half-Israeli woman who said her name was Onyx. She was very goth: a collar, black bob haircut, leather or fake leather skimpy clothes with fishnet stockings, and a lot of tattoos. She was not really my type. But because it was dead she worked really hard to strike up a conversation and that was actually nice. She was smart and a good conversationalist. She wasn’t even trying to sell me on a dance at all. In fact, she didn’t ask once. But after about 25 minutes when I could feel us running out of things to talk about I thought, what the hell, and I got a pair from her.
