The Century has added chained off booths against the back wall since my visit last year. Only one couple was using a booth---perhaps they were waiting for a favorite dancer. Or they didn't want to be near the riff-raff. There were more women in the audience than I remember from past visits, though.

The club was about 2/3s full but I saw no one going back to the private areas with those insane $20 timers (didn't bother to ask if that price had gone up, too). In fact, a guy next to me actually chased off a dancer who was doing a hard sell on him. The audience was well dressed and well behaved, perhaps bored actually. There are many 8 to 10s there among the dancers but they were just going through the motions. Full nudity by the third song as always, but unless a dancer is really willing to really get down and share a bit, who cares. Ironically, serveral of the dancers came on stronger to the female members of the audience.

One dancer did catch my eye, Nadia, who must be as young as they hire. She was very petite with small breasts and a body like a fawn. And with beautiful, fawn-like eyes. Very beautiful, but I can't imagine how much experience she has for a private session---which could be a good thing at the Century. The cover is up to $30. I brought in a printed out VIP pass that got me in free with the purchase of a $10 cup for cola. I stayed 30 minutes and realized the night was a wash. Maybe the police/political situation in SF has something to do with the mood of the place, but for a Wednesday night I would have preferred hanging at the bar on the corner.
