"I had hoped for more."

After well over three months (like everybody) I finally paid a visit to FC last Friday. It's a substantial drive for me, but I was pumped up and looking forward to having a good time after so long of a dry spell and to seeing what the "new world" looked like.

I arrived at 6:25 pm. Valet was $8 and the attendant wore a mask. Parking lot was reasonably occupied, perhaps 25 cars or so. There was no cover until 7, so no charge there. My temperature was taken at the front desk and I told the host I would just sit at the downstairs bar for the time being. There were two dancers on the main stage upon my sitting down. My guess would be about 15 PL''s in total, evenly divided between the premium booths ($20) and regular tables/bar seats. The day shift dancers were still working. I noticed a total of six, counting the two on the stage, but perhaps there were more in the dressing room on their way out. They were all fairly attractive, I'd say 6 to 8 on average. None were really my "type," but they were not unattractive. I thought I recognized one of the dancers on stage and went up to tip while the bartender was getting me a Jack & Coke. Turned out she wasn't who I had thought, but gave her $5 and returned to my barstool.

Drink was $12. Male bartender was cordial. Didnt wear a mask, although the waitstaff all did. Dancer came over to thank me for tipping and we chatted for a bit. It was clear that the day shift was just about done and I had already decided to wait for the 7 pm review with the night dancers anyway. I offered her a drink out of courtesy, but she was about to drive home and politely declined. Ordered myself another $12 Jack & Coke.
