LOL@Brandon! Yeah, if your not familiar with Avondale (which I'm not) and your operating without GPS, it can be a challenge. Appreciate the trip tip, BHL! I've been basically going diagonally northeast from the downtown area, sticking straight on Ponce de leon to keep from getting lost. Its just not an area I've been too for anything else except Pin ups (and a nightclub I found by accident when I went a little too far).

And the Babes dude is ok. He doesn't hawk me like he used to! But, man, when he first used to see me, he'd just spray away without even asking!

isn't Pinups the last one to close? Good chance for last call so to speak but don't go there expecting to find Ms America.

If you're coming from the West or Downtown, then you need to take 20 and get off on Moreland, turn left (toward the city and away from Foxy Lady and Blaze) , go up to Josea Williams and turn right going past the school (make sure to drive speed limit or within five miles of it at all times) , go to Howard and turn left (This is a tricky turn somewhat because Howard is also on the right a little further down and is easier to see, but trust me, it's a left) , keep riding through the Kirkwood residential area and all the stop signs and the road curves around and turns into College. Ride that up to Sams Xing and turn left, and turn right on Ponce and drive about 5 or 6 seconds and it's right there on the left. It took me years to find that route, LOL.

Bizzy are you referring to follies or theéjà vu when mentioning the oil change LOL?

Onyx: I thought this place was all air dance, too! If I recall, parking can get tight in this area.

Follies: I know the majority of the board loves this place. Still on the fence on if I'll find someone with a serious donk here, but BHL endorsement might loosen me to the idea!

Rocafella. I had a good time here in my one and only visit so far which was back in August. Word of mouth has probably got this place at the right point by now!

Foxy is only good if you're more into body than face and can find the right vibe. I have some regs here who take care of me pretty good.

Queen city: You might've seen my reivew already. Don't think its worth going out of the way but if you package it so you hit that and Deja Vu (if its still open) in the same night it might be ok. I'll be making rounds again after Thksgiving.

Not sure how many are familiar with this hustle where certain clubs have a "bathroom" attendant that carry stocks of candy, gum, sex toys & gimmicks, etc. My peeve is only with the ones that want to be tipped to turn on the water, squirt some soap in your hand and give you a paper towel as you exit. Obviously, I can do these things for myself and depending on the club, the soap and paper were stocked before this dude arrived. Keep in mind, they are not janitors, so there are NOT actually cleaning toilets, etc. At most, they wipe down the sink before they set up shop.

I remember a dude hounding me in Babes to buy cologne and / or incense and spraying me with all kinds of stuff! I'm trying to wave this guy off, because I don't want to smell like anything other than smoke, which I can easily explain, vice the cologne that I don't usually use. I've even been in some clubs where they have a chick making rounds selling teddy bears and roses. REALLY? For a stripper? Has it gotten that serious? But if the bathroom guy can give some valuable intel on who's down or not, I would actually value that type of info!

Hey now, I know that guy at Babes. He's worth knowing. Sure he's going to hassle you to buy his shit once he has your ear, but do yourself a favor and buy something off him from time to time, and shoot the shit with him. He's a Bastion of Information. He knows a lot of what's going on around the SC scene both in Babes and a lot of other places.

I think I'm going to try Shooter's again. One of the girls I had a ball with in VIP at Follies used to work there and claimed the VIP's at Shooters were better, more private, whatever. Can anyone confirm?

Fair disclosure: I'm also one that advocates strategically buying ladies cocktails.

They notice the guy that pays $6. 50 or $6. 75 for his beer and leaves just the quarter tip.

That's another peeve of mine! The drink prices that are "odd" priced. Just make the drink an even $6 or 7! I can only speak for my own escapades and tipping waitresses and bartenders has never made my experiences better. I can see how the case can be made if you are there frequently where they know you on sight. Even then, I think the best you would get is stronger drinks (a non-issue if you are a beer drinker).

But you quoted at least a modest price. I'm speaking more towards the $10 and above area. But even if you don't tip or "tip right", why bring it up to mgmt? You paid your cover, paid for your drinks and everything else you do is up to your discretion unless you get out of line.

It depends if you classify Mexican and asian dancers as black or white. Some are very white, and some are very brown. Anyway, there are nice looking women in any race. For me, it is more of a body style issue. I love spinners and hate big butts. Different strokes for different folks. For spinners, Cheetah, pink pony, tattletale, Mardi Gras got to be rated up there. Oasis can be included but there have a few big booties as well. If you are not a spinner, you can't even get a job at C, PP, T and MG.

Enough said.

I was in Tattletale Sat nite and the place was very hopping. Hard to get a table. The old tattletale had a lot more room but these new VIP rooms took too much space. Now the club is very congested in a good nite. Too much for me. I moved to the O after one drink.
