[QUOTE=Paulnova2;2229366]Haven't been to the Block in about 8 months. I know it's hit and miss; but, does anyone have a feel for early Sat afternoon?
Thanks.
Paul.[/QUOTE]Daytime on the block has been bad everyday of the week. On a Ravens home game Sunday, it will pick up with a fair amount of dancers and customers. Since the Ravens (and Orioles) are away this weekend, I would expect slow daytime.
Good luck.
Jim.

[QUOTE=JoeyD;2228416]Had the opportunity to go to Haven Place in the back in July. Enjoyed watching the dancer with the Lollipop. Tall skinny, blond, I believe her stage name is Lollipop. I got her digits for takeout. She mentioned to me that there is VIP service downstairs at Haven. Its $200 for the girl, and $80 to the bar, and you get full service downstairs. She told me that they keep this on the down low at Haven. Enjoy!!
- Joey the.[/QUOTE]When she (Lollipop) started at the Haven she was making good money, seemed to have her head together. Things must be getting tough for her because she is starting to offer outside activities, which really surprised me. She is starting to take a bad nose-dive in my opinion. I can see it taking a toll on her, but I imagine that it is common for those in that industry.
The place used to be pretty laid back but now it seems that the girls are really hustling for tips and drinks. Every girl that came and sat next to me, the bartender would ask if I wanted to buy her a drink. I don't know if they make commissions off the drinks or not, but it can get pretty annoying. I felt like I was at the block.
One girl, after she danced, came and stood next to me and just kept asking for another dollar, over and over again. After 5 bucks, I had to tell her to move along.
Hopefully, it's just a phase for this place.
I went to Scores Baltimore last night (October 4) and had a miserable time. First I had been given passes for the cover charge but was told they are only applicable between Sunday-Thursday. The back of the card says you should get $5 off on Friday and Saturdays but they refused to honor the card. The cover was $20/ person which I think is steep given that you are going to pay for over priced drinks and donate money to dancers. Anyway I go in and there are a boat load of girls there. I talked with one for awhile and bought her 3 glasses of wine. The wine by the way is $9/ glass. Coors Light was $7/ bottle. I did a couple dances with the one girl and she went away. No other girls approached me. There were about 15 girls sitting at a table in the club around a big table just talking among themselves. I was there until after 11 pm and they never broke up their table. I said Hello to Sean, one of the owners and he clearly heard me because he was looking right at me, but he turned his head and walked away like I was an insignificant shit. Anyway it was a miserable experience. I had lots of cash to spend and no one came by to talk to me after I paid a ridiculous cover and ridiculous drink prices. Scores Baltimore is definitely a money pit to avoid. I won't be back.

I was a regular at Scores for years and one day they told me my usual seat was reserved for big spenders and VIP's only. I will never visit the place again.
When is the best time to show up at clubs to double-dip on the shift change? I'd like to have enough time to establish a conversation with day shift girls and potentially go to VIP, but then if that doesn't work out I'd transition to the night shift girls without sitting around for a long time. I don't even know when shift change is.
By the way, I'm not from here, and below isn't a real review, but I thought I'd offer it up based on my experience here last night.
I visited the block last night. I'm terrible with names, so I'll give a pretty general review. I honestly don't understand so much negativity on this board about The Block. Every time I go I have a good time. This Monday night I stopped by every club on the south side of the street (never been to the other side) except Circus, and was happy I did. I ended up staying for extra time in the Red Room, Jewel Box, and Pussycat. At each of these there were several attractive girls. I'd say they were 6's and 7's. I prefer girls on the thin side so maybe to each his own on the ratings. I was consistently offered almost anything I wanted, and I'm 99% sure these were legitimate offers. I've been to the VIPs in most of those clubs (the Red Room VIP is kind of a prank right? So this isn't that new to me. Takeout was offered about 25% of the time without me asking first, and then another 25% when I did ask.
The one club I have never been sure about is Little Darlings. I've searched this board and it seems like the VIP can be fun there, but I get a weird feeling when I walk in like Little Darlings is a midpoint between Hustler and Pussycat. You may or may not have fun in VIP. If I'm wrong about this please let me know as I like the atmosphere of that club.

Some girls leave early so things start getting lean around 7-7:30 and don't pick back up until 9:30-10. I try to avoid shift change if I can help it because it usually results in a wasted hour or two. The amount of fun you can have in any given club is more a function of the girl, than the club. That includes LD's.
I asked the same question regarding Little Darling VIP months ago. Not much info, but apparently there are girls who do offer extras in the VIP.

Most clubs won't let the girls leave unless you "buy" them out, except, from my experience Lust and Norma's. At Norma's and Lust, the girls can just leave if they want. I have had take out from Norma's and Lust wherein I get the girl at the end of day shift / beginning of night shift, and keep them for a couple of hours, and then drop them back at the club.
For take out from Norma's, Sunday is the best night. This is because there is a serious lag between the end of day shift (which is very short at Norma's on Sunday) and the time night shift picks up. As such, there is a window to get a girl, let her make some $$ with you, then bring her back to the club before it get's busy and she can make more $$ in the club. It's a win-win. For me, shift change is where it is at.
Some good posts on the subject but I wanted to add one thing. Just because a girl says she will meet you for takeout doesn't mean she will actually show up. My MO is to schedule an 8:15 pm meeting at Midway, if she doesn't show up by 8:30 then I move on to the next opportunity. The next opportunity may be on the next stool.

As observed elsewhere just because she says she'll meet you doesn't mean much.
Apart from that I try to avoid shift change. Between 7 - 9. The day girls are 'done' for the day and just want to go home. If they can grab a few extra bucks without expending effort they will, but that often means an abbreviated if not disappointing session. The girls coming on shift when they first arrive are full of "Not another day at work" attitude. It takes them an hour or so to shift from "I showed up what more do you want" to whatever mindset actually makes them money.
If you are trying for takeout, you need to arrive enough before the "waiting for the 5 o'clock whistle" mentality sets in to get your arrangements settled.
After returning to the Baltimore area from another state, I noticed that the strip clubs around here lack a good provocative dildo show. In Philly and other cities this phenomenon is available in some clubs; the only thing I've seen here is a lollipop. If you have not seen one just imagine those large black devices available at adult book stores getting inserted on stage; now that's a show. It seems to me that the clubs can spice it up with a dominatrix enforcer that cracks the whip when the girls get lackluster in their performance. Time for some disgusting goth butt hole supremacy. I guess I'm just bored.
Let's start with Thursday early evening is not a good time to visit the block. There is no action at all. Diamond, ordered a simple Diet Coke (allergic to alcohol) and it was horrible! Tasted like piss water. One dancer, fully clothed (and she stayed that way), likely to hide the stretch marks which did peak up over the bottoms she was wearing. Will never go back to Diamond.
Norma Jeans. Got the wand (metal detector) on the way in and told buying a drink to hang around was required. There was one sad looking old man sitting at the stage on the left. Not sure what he was watching because there was no girl on stage! The place was also dead.
Lesson learned. Stay home Thursday night!
I will try again tomorrow and see if it is better.
