Stopped by on a rainy Wednesday...

Stopped by on a rainy Wednesday night. Definitely not a busy night. Good size club, not too seedy, but not fancy. Staff was matter-of-fact, if not overly friendly. About 10 girls working ranging from 5 to 8, but a nice variety to satisfy any tastes. Although there are two stages only the smaller center stage was in use.

The deal for the evening was the "Safari room" upstairs - 15 minutes for $50. There were several opportunities to take advantage of the special and I took two. One was with a cute spinner, who, unfortunately, gave a desultory dance. A 5, although we had good conversation. The second was with Mercedes, who was the best dancer of the evening, so I took a chance. Well worth it. Although this is a Missouri "juice bar" (meaning the g-string stayed on), there was lots of contact and an exciting experience, and if you need alcohol, you can pay an extra $3 to "byob" or there are bars on either side of the establishment.

Two special comments: my experience was good, but there were two unfortunate incidents that marred an otherwise fun evening. First, one of the dancers whom I had previously had a pleasant conversation with and was on my list for a trip upstairs go in an altercation with a patron which ended with an apology tip from the patron that was dramatically rejected by the dancer by tearing his bill in half - I think he was being cheap and demanding, but I never got the chance to ask. The second incident involved my brother who had made a generous tip to a dancer who was otherwise being ignored by the patrons (she was a chunky one). She apparently interpreted this as an intent for a private dance and when he explained that he didn't want one, she left in a huff. I was not involved in either incident, but it did affect my overall impression.
