Good Ol' Dan's: Still hanging in there after all these years.

Don't remember what day it was, but a mid-week late lunch/stress break. I was in the general area of Dan's on business and decided to stop in since it had been quite a while since I'd darkened their doorstep - at least a couple of years. Wouldn't you know it, not one thing has changed. It can be good for a local joint with a familiar feel to just keep on keepin' on. It's not the fanciest place in town, probably the least fancy to be truthful, and the neighborhood might be a bit sketchy later at night. I don't know if the bouncer/DJ/doorman was the same as my last visit, but he was jovial and friendly non-the-less. Just a quick weapons check and a "have fun". The long bar is on the left as you enter. Drink prices as you might expect, seems like a diet coke and a Red Bull for a lady wiped out a Jackson. The bartender was pretty cute and not talkative, but not snotty either.

The DJ booth is to the right at the entrance, with the lap-dance "area" directly in front of that. Dances are in the corner, but out in the open, only slightly separated from the main room/stage area by a large speaker. The girls would have to be super skilled at being sneaky for any hanky panky to take place there. Two big stages in the middle of the room, but only one in use on dayshift. Dancers ranged from a hot little white number to tall black/Dominican with several Latinas of various sizes and shapes mixed in. I did not get the feeling that any of them were Cubanitas though, sad, those girls can be a .....handful, if you know, you know.

I did hang out with the hot white chick for awhile and got all up-to-speed on her life story which seemed eventful and scary. I let her talk me into a few dances, and what a hot little hard body she was, I definitely would have pushed for take-out, but her story and willingness to wayyy over-share spooked me away. I think I dropped less than $$ for my 10-12 minute mauling. I did get the feeling from a couple of the Latinas that they would be very open to a date.
