Second stop of the day

Made an initial stop at Criket, but there were no customers or dancers at 12:15. Didn’t want to invest an hour or so to see if there was any talent so I decided to head to Bogarts.

$5 entry fee, dude at door gives you a ticket for some reason that you give to the waitress. Domestic beer $8+$2 tip. Same stanky environment. DJ was playing some classic Chaka Khan and Rufus to set the mood for some funkiness. Soon, Fridays-only dancer Sammy appears, of course topless. If she is not on stage, she is on the way upstairs to service a customer. Sammy is one of my favorites, and I jumped at the opportunity to get in a private session with her before the hordes of mongers arrived. She provided her enthusiastic service that I’ve come to expect over several years. Like other dancers, her fees have risen post-Covid, but still inline with Bogart standards. $10 for the wristband to get upstairs - good all day!

Lastly, saw a few new faces sprinkled in along with the veterans. Some were of a similar demographics, but one or two appeared a little younger for some future potential.
