[QUOTE=MiningForGold;4785482]Anyone else notice how much money you're saving with the clubs closed? Anyone else realize how much you were spending at strip clubs?[/QUOTE]I'm guessing the Village of Washington Park is seeing the financial hit on licensing fee revenue and sales tax collection for food and liquor sales at a minimum. Also a lot of babysitters have been unexpectedly having to seek new sources of income.
[QUOTE=MiningForGold;4785482]Anyone else notice how much money you're saving with the clubs closed?

I guess wanking off at home has it's perks.
[QUOTE=StevenHyde;4785489]You guys are awfully optimistic, or perhaps just hopeful. If the numbers spike after reopening, as the experts predict, then the state's regions will shut back down. I'm not going to risk being one of those statistics or bringing the virus home to my family. I know the hobby is risky, but this added, unprecedented risk seems too high. Rather than go into Washington Park, it seems safer to find a steady under the radar girl until enough time has passed that we know we won't be caught in the middle of a second wave. Don't get me wrong, I miss the back room at Wise Guys too, but that place is not exactly known for hygiene management. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I may not be back until we have a vaccine.[/QUOTE]The Herd Immunity will save they day. Those us who have frequented these places over the years are safe from most anything. No worries go get that lap dance and more.

I like to give a couple of bucks here an there, and grab onto some of the girls that aren't so hot, but may need some lovin ($). I can't bring myself to 'go behind the beads' with them though. The one's that are super skinny and strung out on god knows what, or the big girls who probably have the best BBBJ in town, but are pushing maxium density. I'll never say never, but I usually like to be into a girl if I'm spending some time and $ with her. It doesn't take much. I like most of them, but there are the few select ones that you have to wait on, or be there at the right time.
There was a slightly BBW girl Grace that use to dance there a while back. Nice big rack. Little thick in the waist. Only one I've dared to do take out with. Not sure how many dancers are into that. There aren't many I would even try to attempt that with.

I'm curious if anyone went this weekend to the open clubs and if so what was the experience like?
[QUOTE=YourMomLikedIt;4811438]I'm curious if anyone went this weekend to the open clubs and if so what was the experience like?[/QUOTE]What clubs are open? I thought we were looking at end of June for that?
[QUOTE=YourMomLikedIt;4811438]I'm curious if anyone went this weekend to the open clubs and if so what was the experience like?[/QUOTE]Well I went to both, PT's and Scarletts personally I thought PT's was better with girls, but the set up was better at Scarletts, PT's you didn't have to wear a mask but Scarletts made you. Both clubs had NO touching but you could do a private as usual. Scarlett is still very high on privates even the dancers were saying management said no specials. As of Tuesday PT's posted closing do to curfew even though there is NO curfew for Sauget, IL or St. Clair county.

A female manager / bartender answered and said they were still closed. She said Moochies / Blondies across the street was also closed. I asked when they would open and she said "when the governor let's us". How can Scarlett's and PT's be open but the others can not??

PharmD00.[/QUOTE]Country Rock and Scarlet's are able to open because they can do outdoor seating and the other clubs so far can not. You might remember that Pt's Sports now Country Rock had an outdoor area for "volleyball" those were happy days. So they were able to convert that area to an outdoor patio pretty easy. Scarlett's formerly Hollywood Showclub it seems had an area behind the main building that they have converted to an outdoor seating area. I've not been there yet but it looks pretty nice from the pics on their Facebook page. The other clubs are kinda stuck until phase 4 of Prickster's plan. Even the other Pt clubs don't really have an outdoor area that they can convert and the small clubs are stuck with nothing as well.
The longer they're closed, the less I miss them.
I was a 3 times a month for years, I don't think I'm going back except for special occasions. Birthday, group decides to go, etc. I easily spent $10 - $15 k a year. It's not to save money, I spend it elsewhere. When they open, all of the fake stripper friends with my number will be texting me how much they miss me, come see me, blah, blah, blah. We all know it's only about them getting money from us, but we still go. I'm done with the scene. Each to his own, there's something unique about the stripper experience that can be fun. I've lost my enthusiasm for it.
Another interesting thing will be how many customers, who've been decimated by jobs and businesses lost, or a significant amount of their net worth lost over the last 3 months, return. If they do, what they spend. I think the strippers are in a rude awakening. They're clueless, they have no idea how money is earned and flows to them. Clubs will also find very tough sledding. It may come back over time, but businesses need liquidity to operate, many don't have the runway to get through it.

Does the no touching apply to the private too? Are privates just air dances??

What was the end result? How much time did you spend, how much money did you spend? And what did you actually get?
