Since I was in Seattle on...

Since I was in Seattle on business I decided to check out a couple a strip- club. Rick's was the only one near where I was staying so I headed over there.

Admission was $15 plus $5 for an OJ. The first thing I noticed on entering the club was the lack of a tip rail. Seating around the stage was close enough for viewing, but far enough to prevent any interaction with the dancer. Also tables and chairs were packed together so closely that it was very difficult for any dancer to approach me sitting there. All the dancers were good looking, and some of them tried to put on a good show.

After watching several dancers I noticed one very cute dancer sitting by herself. She told me that the only way for dancers to make money was lap dancing. Since the lap area was quite open, and a rathe stern looking women walked through it during each song this didn't look very interesting. Still, because she had been good enough to fill me in on the place I got one $20 dance from her. It is the only dance I ever go at a strip club I would describe as decorous.
