[QUOTE=Pay For It]Venturing up to the K this week for the first time in a long time. Witht he Patio closed what is the best no tel choice these days. Adress and name would be awesome.[/QUOTE]
The Carlyle would be your best bet. Do a search the info is here.
Ran into one of Supereloquent's ladies, Melanie, the 4'11" pixie last week down by Cambria. Everything he reported is still true as she is easy to deal with and none of the hardness that comes with this biz. I suspect she will be around for a while as she is having no luck finding a regular job I am sorry to say.
One odd thing happened as I dropped her off at her spot. Her manager/boyfriend came out of nowhere swinging a 2 by 4 and yelling at me that he was going to kill me. Not actually feeling threatened since I could (and did) drive away, I was expecting hm to whack my car but since he didn't it was obvious he was just putting on a show. Have no idea what that was all about. Will stop and ask Mel when I see her again.

Melanie sounds like my kind of girl, and I'll be on the lookout for her in the area you described.
I guess many people here have stories about threats from angry boyfriends. Mine was potentially more dangerous: the guy was in a car! And he did indeed pull alongside and shouted that I was with his sister and to pull over immediately. Fortunately his "sister" had her wits about her and said just to keep driving and head to the local police station, which she apparently had visited before. We did just that, with him tailgating us, and pulled into the 26th district parking lot near the entrance door. He was still behind us, and I was ready to blast my horn if he got out. But recognizing where we were, he turned around and drove away. Whew!
Another story: a real boyfriend was able to get his arm into the driver side window, grab my arm, and demand my wallet. Fortunately he was a dufus and didn't realize I had most of my cash tucked under a flap and $55 (my hobby money) above the flap. He took the $55 and after pleas from his girlfriend gave the wallet back. The microsecond that she got out of the car I gunned it down the avenue and eventually reached over and closed the door. Double whew!
So the moral of my stories is:
• know where the local police station is. (If you've been to the Patio you know Whitaker Ave...the 24th district is at 3901 Whitaker)
• keep your window rolled up
• know where your spending money is and keep any other cash/cards in a separate place
Well, this is the streetwalker reports thread and I've overstayed my visit, so I'd better go find Melanie so I can report on her...

[/QUOTE]I did notice when I dropped off Melanie last time that she seemed to be having a heated exchange with some dude on the Somerset corner as I was departing. I thought this very strange for 2 reasons: she claimed to be relatively new to this as a result of having lost her job (so who would she know well enough on the Ave to have an argument with, was my thought at the time), and her demeanor certainly had never shown signs of such a confrontational nature when we were together. Given Texaco Tim's report on Melanie's angry "boyfriend" I would be extra cautious when picking her up and dropping her off.
On another note, some guy called me on Natalie's number threatening to punch me out: another good reason to be cautious and use a throwaway phone. With enough motivation and resources even a cell phone can be traced, and who needs some angry boyfriend in your face.

I'm usually very cautious and abide by all the monger rules of engagement. But this time I'd had a drink or two, got lazy and over-confident.
I picked up a girl I've been with the several times before and had had nothing but good experiences with prior to this (this was not in Philly). My first mistake was agreeing to a quick stop (well maybe that was my second mistake since drinking and mongering is not a wise combination either). When she came back out I wasn't paying attention and she let somebody into the back seat before I could stop them. Once in, the one in the back seat robbed me while my SW grabbed the keys from the ignition like she was going to run with it. I hit the horn like crazy while the one in back was all over me trying to get into my pockets and other parts of the car. The constant beeping of the horn freaked them a little. I was parked on a fairly busy street in a bad area during daytime. I grabbed my keys back and they bolted w/ my mongering money from my shirt pocket and some extra cash I normally would stow safely away if I wasn't so "trusting" of the girl I was with. The whole thing could have been worse of course, but that didn't make me feel better. I was as mad at myself as I was at them. Desperate habits make for desperate people. For me the takeaway was never let yourself get so relaxed at this stuff that you skip items on your safety checklist and think it can't happen to you.
[QUOTE=Mike 80]For me the takeaway was never let yourself get so relaxed at this stuff that you skip items on your safety checklist and think it can't happen to you.[/QUOTE]I totally agree with you on this.
Just something to think about, 1st I have never had a real bad situation and I always warn the girls if you rip me off YOU will not make it out of the door. You guys spend a fair amount of $$ on the hobby so why not protect yourself? I ordered a Cheetah 650, 000 Volt Retractable/Rechargeable Stun Baton
Here is a link and info to what I carry for protection:
[url]http://www.kingofswords.com/Self-Defense/Stun-Guns/Cheetah-650000-Volt-RetractableRechargeable-Stun-Baton.html[/url]
I modified it to deactivate the load alarm it has. This is a nice unit and it works with out having to extend it and when extended it sends electrical voltage sparks up and down the tube a real nice feature that will make anyone thing! Plus let them try to grab it It will also go thru 1/2" material clothing. But one note if you play with it to much you will wear down the 4 batterys. I normally carry a gun but with the laws today its not worth it, Plus if your not experienced in weapons and self control stay away. This Baton maybe? Or Maybe not? Legal in your state or states? Even if it were not whats the worst that can happen? I am sure if you had to go to court over having one you could always use the excuse you were tired of being robbed and its safer then a gun! Plus a good lawyer can make a good case. I keep mine next to me hiden and on and ready anytime I am in a bad area or when someone gets into my vehicle or approaches. Should someone try to rob me or run with my money she would not get out the door. The more you hold it on the more mobilizing it is as stated in the manual. Its just an idea as most of you guys live in big cities and you should have the right to protect your self. But you need to keep it ready and hiden but quickly accessable. Above the visor or down on the side of your car seat would make it quickly accessable. So many might aggree and some might not. But with things the way they are today I would never walk down a street in a big city without. One other note some states that do allow them say it must be holstered and some even allow concelled, This one comes with a holster or it can be carried in the back of your pants under your shirt. So you can help keep your ass safe or just be another victim. Excuse the spelling. Always be ready for the worst I say.
I think we all have stories like this. I know when I started mongering and wasn't aware of this site or the rules, I made a few mistakes....here are a couple.
1) Left my wallet in the middle glove box in my car. After the SW and I finished, I started cleaning up, turned my head...she found the wallet and took my cash (3.0). OUCH! I still had no idea what happened and while I was driving to drop her off, she warned me, " You really need to be careful".
2) Left too much money on me. I went to a SWs house and she preceeded to complete a BBBJ. My pants were around my ankles and I was sitting on the couch. She was on the floor. She was shifting a lot, but I just figured she was getting comfortable....as it turned out, she was going through my pants pockets, while doing the BBBJ. By the time I found out, she pulled out an additional .6
3) With another SW, paid her, started the BBBJ...then she said that we could get more comfortable at her place...she left to check the house and make sure that everything was ok with her roommates...never saw her again...incomplete service.
4) Left change in the ash trey of my car...many Sws will check and ask if they can keep the change. (sometimes there was an extra .05). Much easier to just remove the tempation.
Of course, I've learned from all this, but maybe someone else will learn from my early "stupidity", ignorance, and bad experience.
Good Luck and Keep Safe
I was out roaming the Ave Monday and Tuesday. On Monday afternoon at K and Lehigh I picked up Brooke. She has long brownish/dark hair and glasses. I thought she was a civilian at first but she was giving the look and when the bus came, she never got on. She was very pleasant and nice. She said she used to be a regular on the Ave a few years ago. Afterward, I did a search and found the pictures and reports. She looks pretty much the same. She didn’t say why she’s back and I didn’t ask. I have to say, I hate to see somebody who got out come back. She said it was only to be a brief return but I’ve heard that before. Anyway, I got a nice BJ from her at a reasonable price. Later on I had a date with Jamie/Gianna. She did a great BJ and it was an all-around good time. Later that night I saw some other girls I had never seen before but missed out as they got picked up pretty fast.
On Tuesday afternoon I saw Mandi. Her hair’s a pinkish color now. I was going to date her but could never get her attention. Another girl, who I wasn’t interested in, thought I wanted to pick her up and kept getting in the way. Mandi seemed kind of out of it and distracted so I bailed. There was lots of LE around. A paddy wagon and a bunch of LE standing around was across from the Huntingdon Station. I guess Tuesday is a big LE day.
Anyway, the warmer weather seems to bringing more girls out.
Picked up Jen neat Cumberland Monday around midnight. She's a pretty blond about 5'3 130. Pleasant personality. Went to the Carlyle for an above average BBBJCIM. Stayed with it till I was drained. Donated average K contribution. Gave a modest tip. Won't repeat as she gave me attitude stating next time I need 50 since it's so far. Not with me you won't! Oh well another one and done.
Did a quick cruise on the "K" this afternoon. Bone dry + lot's of LE, including on Bikes - not a good sign.
[QUOTE=Lanky43]Did a quick cruise on the "K" this afternoon.[/QUOTE]If memory serves, when new members start posting, their posts are delayed a day or two so that the Admin can screen them until they are trusted to post within the rules here. By contrast, I noted that, after I became a senior member, my posts began to appear instantly.
Lanky, for his first post gave helpful information BUT, if his posts are delayed significantly, then the value of his time-sensitive observation ("bone dry this afternoon") is lost.
My suggestion to newer members is that they tell us which day they made their observation. This is especially helpful as we try to find patterns in which days of the week LE makes a show of force.
That said, welcome to the board, Lanky.
Forth Ryte
Just need to clarify, I do NOT post on craigslist. Someone uses my pictures, but do not call, because that is not me. If you wish to contact me, send me a PM.
Thank you.
Saw several guys pulled over and got pulled over myself and asked why I had driven up the street and back down again. My bad for not picking up the lack of girls and the LE presence and leaving immediately. Question for the board. If they don't ticket you, are the legally allowed to retain any information that they pulled you over for no reason? Was a little surprised as he admitted he had no probably cause other than driving up and down the street.
