I spent a few days in SF a couple of weeks back, leaving behind the delights of my beloved B'more, and decided to revisit the memory of the Mitchell brothers emporium of porn of yesteryear. Result - you can't go home again. What a disappointment!

Granted, over 15 years had elapsed since my last visit, but I guess I expected just a little bit of the old excitement that led me to invest pretty heavily in an enjoyable romp with a pair of hands-on sweeties. No such luck.

What I did observe was a lackluster performance by several dancers who seemed more interested in finishing the set than marketing their special talents. I stayed for a couple of wasted hours before giving up on the possibility that anything more than aimless shuffling around a stage and bored swinging on the poles was likely. The few offers of earthly delights for "starting at $200" were a bit laughable, given the free samples that did little but illustrate the futility of any expectation I might have entertained.
