[QUOTE=ShaggyJax;4256163]In the article, the police said that they conducted the raid "after what investigators described as an undercover operation regarding complaints of prostitution". I'm sure that happens all the time: "Officer! Officer! That stripper just tried to give me a blowjob in the VIP area for 20 bucks. Oh, God. Please, please, please help me. I feel so victimized. " George Carlin was correct and if I remember the quote correctly it was, "I never believe anything the government tells me. Ever. And neither should you".
Shaggy.[/QUOTE]And what was the other Carlin quote? Something along the lines of "And here's something you never hear a guy say 'Stop sucking my dick or I'm calling the police' you never hear anyone say that".
IC.

[QUOTE=EthanX;4256118]Geez! That's insane!
I mean, it still doesn't make any sense. Seeing as one would assume that having liquor would make nudity damn near mandatory, but still. Freaking insane.
Hopefully by the time I move back to Jax things will have blown over.[/QUOTE]What's even more insane is that you only have to be 18 to get in to a full nude bar, while you must be 21 to get in to a bikini bar. Yes, I know its the alcohol thing, but it is just back asswords.

I don't. I don't even have a comeback for that one.
Is Allie still at Wackos during the day?
[QUOTE=CraigHarper;4257447]Is Allie still at Wackos during the day?[/QUOTE]She was there the last time I was, but looking back at my posts I see that's been about a month so I guess it doesn't mean much. Holy sheet, I got to get back in the saddle.
It's been a while since I was a regular in the bars. Some of you who have been around a while and patronized the Westside clubs would know me, I'm sure. I used to spend a considerable amount of time and money in the bars. Here is what I know.
JSO used to routinely raid the clubs and charge girls with all kinds of crazy things. There are pretty specific guidelines the dancers have to follow for dress code and "lap dances. " They seemed to have loosened their interpretation of the dress code in recent years. There was a time when wearing a thong in the bar got you a trip to jail. Duval County is also a no contact County. ZERO physical contact between dancer and customer during a private dance. Grinding on a guy is a simulated sex act. Believe it or not I have seen them charge dancers for simulated oral sodomy because her HAIR touched his lap during the dance.
What kills me is that you can walk into ANY nightclub and see people dry humping or worse on the dance floor and no one bats an eye. You can go to the beach on any given day or ANY gay pride event and see people dressed in much worse than the average dancer and no one says a word.
First Baptist says strip clubs are bad. So strippers get hassled. Plain and simple.

One thing that has remained a constant though is that this First Baptist place seems to damn near RUN the city. Why the hell is that? Why are city officials so damn scared of a freaking church? What am I not getting?

What am I not getting?[/QUOTE]There is a phenomenon in the religious community in northeast Florida that I have not heard of in other parts of the country, in that there is an ancestral relationship in a large percentage of the churches in the greater Jacksonville area. Take the Catholic churches out of the equation and maybe a couple of others, but well over half of the churches in the area are interrelated. Many churches with very large congregations like Eleven 22, Celebration and many others received their startup funds from other older more established churches in the area and ultimately report back to them. Hence, the leaders of these primary churches yield tremendous political influence as when they determine which politicians to support and this is broadcast throughout all the affiliated congregations, elections are won or lost based upon that support. The only way around this that I can see, is if the politicians are savvy enough to have evidence of these church elders having coitus with a sheep.
I finally checked out NSG on Blanding this week. Nice club. I went once during the day and night shift another day. Seems to be pretty laid back and not much going on compared to Sins / Wackos. Anyone have a different experience? If so, who should I look for on days preferrably but will take night time suggestions as well. PM is ok if need be. Thanks in advance.
[QUOTE=Satisfaxxxion;4256394]That's why the Jax clubs are split. Sinsation's and TDH are nude with no booze, while as far as I know the rest of the clubs are all bikini bars with alcohol. Some chicks will get their tits out in the other clubs, but they're risking a ticket when they do.
Like I said, it's BS but that's the way it's been as long as I've been playing in Jacksonville.[/QUOTE]It's not like it's just Jacksonville. There are a LOT of places in this country that are like that. Some places have the law in their pocket enough (or they're just friendly enough) that they can ignore the rules, but plenty don't.
Some places have topless only with booze. Some are bikini only with booze.
Hi. I am planning to visit strip club first time. Please share any tips to get a good experience out there. Any don't I need to keep in mind.

Dudes tip some of those chicks to put clothes back on. I drive an hour each way to hit the Jax clubs because it's worth the effort.
I used to travel all over the country pretty regularly for business and I have to say Jax is easily in the top 10-20% for extras in strip clubs among the cities I visited. JSO just needs to try busting some real crimes for a change and leave us the hell alone.
[QUOTE=Brandon69;4255657]Hit Sins on Tuesday and they had just converted the 2 last booths to a 45 per dance area. They added a beaded curtain to give you a little more privacy. I guess with the right girl it may be worth it. I opted for the booth right next to it and had a good time. I was early so it was a little slow and girls were just arriving.[/QUOTE]What are they thinking? Wackos has been visited by LEO a couple of times due to behavior in the corner booths. Centerfolds just got raided. And now they go and add the very thing that is sure to interest LEO? A semi-private area? Stupid. Lets just paint a big bulls eye on the front door. And there really isn't anyone there worth $45 a song either.
