2 GREAT 1 not so much in hour Wednesday 11/26 9:45 PM to 10:45 PM

Being Thanksgiving eve, glad to see not everyone is traveling over hill or dale for family dinners. Upon arrival, a bit less than the normal non-weekend crowd, about a dozen or so guys at the tables and thinned out by 10:45

The sliding door opens, and the mannequin-like guard to the right greets me. Booth gal takes my $10, and the bouncer guy takes the receipt around the corner as I enter. My usual tables are taken, with 2 chairs in the back row for easy access, and often near the route dancers have to take after the stage to get to the dressing room. I usually open up the chairs so easy access to the chair next to me. Or my lap. However, tonight all were taken, including my favorite 2nd left of the small stage in front of the bar, by two women. I don't think they were dancers or may have been on a long break. I took the table at the bottom of the steps for the 2nd (unused) stage. That usually has 2 chairs, but only one tonight.

Only the main stage was in use. As I have noted before, the nice touch is when one dancer finishes, she waits on stage until the next dancer shows up, even if it takes a while.
