A compromise, I guess.

Arrived in AZ a couple of weeks ago for the winter. So after a proper quarantine, I head out to my favorite club. First difference is the sliding entry door. Not sure why? No cover during the day so I head to the floor man, for a temperature test off the side of the wall. 97.3. Hand sanitizer . Then I’m escorted to my seat at the bar that I requested.

2 soda water lemons , my favorite club drink. $5 plus a dollar tip to Curt the regular afternoon bartender for many years. Only the main stage open for 2 song set. Meet up with Ocsana who remembers me. Not interested. Tip a few dancers, and then I tip Kiera on stage. She promises to catch up with me after she finishes up a prior customer. Sadly I never saw her again.

I see and tip other dancers. Jordan, ???, and others. Then a long time favorite, Sammie hits stage. She meets me at the bar for a nice visit - how have you been. - Sammie takes me back to the dance area. Now there is a lighted VIP sign by the steps. Many dance cubicles are closed off for social distancing. Sammie explains the new rules for one song and then I buy 2 dances.
