Tumble weed to the main stage.
To my understanding uncle joe is going to start sending 250-300 a month per kid under 18 starting in July till December. Toss in 1,400 per person in the house with the recent checks. Tax refunds, ppp, no evictions, unemployment, only fans, and 13 other government sources, I would suspect it will thin out the stripper population. I think there will be only two types in the club. Those that are driven enough to realize there is plenty of money that can still be made in the club and that have a demon problem that needs to be fed. As long as uncle joe has rent, the phone, door dash the nail lady and the weed man paid off, stripping is becoming less and less appealing. The club I am most familiar with (Nikitas in Welford, Sc) was the busiest I ever saw it on a Wednesday earlier this month. They had more customers in the club. By 830 then they would have had all night. Just 2 years ago. They have increased the minimum number of dancers per shift. To minimum. Of 7 but usually have 10 , now vs 5 in the past. I saw more incidents of dudes making it snow / rain in the last 3 visits then I have in the last 19 years. Despite how bad they say the economy is I think dudes have money to spend and with covid injections rolling out. Dudes will have the confidence to go to the club. I think it will unfortunately be a sellers market. Higher prices, fewer dancers, less options. There is a club in Charlotte that now charges 40 bucks at door for " non club members" good luck! YMMV.
The US economy is a freaking joke
[QUOTE=Ozymandias;5256140]Bitcoin kissed $60 k when the first checks hit; I'm sure it was a factor!
$1. 9 T is an almost incomprehensible sum of money. It's going to impact a lot of things.
(Not that I'm complaining about the bitcoin!).

Vivid, Diamonss, and GoldRush
[QUOTE=BangingBasil;5254662]Hey everyone. First time poster (in a while that is) but long time listener. Precovid I was glad to have met up with many of you at our beloved Follies. I became a regular there with first name basis with many dances, the entire bar and security staff. Man I miss clubs but wanting to get back into the swing of things. My question is this, of the clubs now open, are mask an acceptable thing or is it few and far between. Honestly I've loved the extra anonymity to be honest. Been hitting the streets but stripclubs is where my little friend comes alive. Appreciate the info in advance.
P.S. - anybody up for a day exploring at a club let me know. Since working for home I like to get in early since I make my own schedule and have to do the family thing in the evenings. Cheers in advance and happy hunting![/QUOTE]No employee, except male security) is wearing a mask. Patrons are hit or miss, no one says anything.
At Diamonds a month ago, employees wear them, many of the dancers had them on their face but must below the chin and none while dancing for a patron unless the patron was also wearing one. But remember that Diamonds is close quarters, if it has a decent crowd, you are rubbing shoulders with others.
Gold Rush, last time there was January and bar tenders were wearing them, MGRs / Bouncers were hit or miss, dancers were except when dancing for a patron unless the patron was also wearing one.

RE: All star weekend at Club Platinum
I pretty much agree with your review of the Platinum. It's about the closest thing to Follies, which doesn't mean it matches the level of quality and fun that Follies was famous for.
In particular, I don't like how small the club is and how tiny the parking lot is. Follies parking was not ideal either but still way better than dealing with the insanity of Platinum, and was actually easy during early day shifts. I think I'm only going to take Uber or Lyft to Platinum from now on to avoid the hassles of trying to find a place to park.
I'm glad to hear the billiards table to the right was replaced with couches. It's basic common sense that patrons come into the club for pussy, ass, and tits, not to play pool.
I hope more white and Asian dancers show up at Platinum, but I ain't holding my breath. It's always been a black club and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
[QUOTE=EvaSparkling;5242215]This review is a result of my visit to Club Platinum on Saturday March 7th, 2021.
This's my second visit ever to Club Platinum.
The Inside of this club has been described multiple times by various contributors. The major difference I observed while there since my last visit was that the pool table by your immediate right is gone and replaced by multiple couches. Also there is a VIP area couple of stairs down by the DJ Booth that cost $50 to enter & is opened from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM Nightly.
I arrived at this club around 7:30 PM & didn't leave until closing time around 2:45 AM.
Entry fee on this particular night was $20.
I got multiple dancers from various strippers and there were some truly memorable ones.
Something to be aware off seems that from 8:00 PM until closing time this particular club turns into a Make it Rain club & it can be difficult to get a hot dancer attention if you're not blowing a bag.
Overall music theme is HipHop / Rap with mostly Black dudes throwing stacks upon stacks on dancers.
I ordered a Red Bull at the bar which cost only $5..[/QUOTE]
