[QUOTE=NotAGolfer;3774963]I was never offended. It was amusing to see myself referenced and was enough to pull me out of lurker status.
This weekend I plan on trying Brass Flamingo and if that doesn't work out going further north to Vue or Lollipop's. After that, I'll need to give my wallet a break for a few weeks and let it recover.
I typically go early / mid afternoon or at night. I don't know what time is best for these clubs, but up north the hours between 5 and 8 (shift change time) are usually awful. I tend to avoid. If anyone has advice on timing, I'd appreciate it.
I'm in the area for work, so technically, I'm not a snowbird, but not quite a local either.[/QUOTE]Glad you joined the fray! If I run into out there again I owe you a beer, LOL.
Timing in the clubs is like trying to time the market, there's a good chance you'll miss the up day. I use a dancer cost averaging approach.
When I'm in the area with a free hour I'll stop in, buy a favorite or two a drink, or try to meet someone who catches my eye. Often a favorite will make an introduction of someone they think I'll like, knowing it will yield them benefits down the road.
I prefer to get to know them a little, and some I know pretty well. I don't go looking for a VIP every time, the smart ones understand it and will invest some time for another day with a regular guy. We'll be here after the boys of winter are gone. My apologies to Don Henley.
A lot of the dancers, especially dayside are single moms, so when the kids are on spring break, so are they, or child care flakes out, so do they.
Some clubs like Oz require dancers to be in by 1:30 for day shift and stay until 6 or 7. Technically the girls are contract employees, so they come and go as they please and some clubs are fine with that. So they'll show up, if they get a couple of quick VIPs they'll take off. If it's slow they may do a double shift.
Weekends are generally slower than week days. But sometimes Sunday is very busy.
Wednesday used to be the slow day of the week, now Monday seems to be the slow day, with Tuesday and Wednesday close behind. Generally Thursday and Friday are the busiest days. But busy days are the hardest to get attention, dancers will literally triage the room trying to figure out how to get the quickest return on their invested time. The girls tend to come in when they think guys will be there, so it's a constant guessing game.
Some girls are strictly cash driven, so they'll show up when they need a $ infusion. End of the month, first of the month, when bills are coming due the places may be packed. Some look at it like a job at the mall, and will be there every day 1-7 come hell or high water.
Mid shift tends to be good in some clubs because a lot of guys come in around rush hour, but that changes by club and day of the week. The dinner hour is usually slowest, especially in clubs where there is no mid- shift. I tend to avoid nights. Different crowd of guys and girls, and I just don't like the dynamic as much.
Clubbing can be a very rewarding experience here, but it's a long game. And golf shirts are acceptable attire!!
