| - Last Friday night my daughter, her boyfriend, my girlfriend and I got together for a bar crawl in Market Square with the good people from the St. David Society. We were at the fifth bar of the crawl when my girlfriend got a text from my daughter-in-law that read, "We're at Cheerleaders in the strip now. Don't ask, just come on down." I don't know about you, but when my girlfriend and my daughter-in-law both suggest that I should join them at a strip club, well, I say, "Sounds like fun for the whole family!"
I'm not in the habit of visiting strip clubs so I was not only surprised by the $10.00 cover charge but also by the thorough pat down and wanding that we each had to endure to get into the place. Once in, I located my son, daughter-in-law and a few of their friends at the opposite end of the club and we joined them. Beers were $7.00 each and the dancers were on three separate stages with a ten foot moat of a serving area between them and us. No placing of a tip in the garter at this place. People were throwing crumpled up bills onto the stages.
The interesting observations I can make on the girls is that there were a lot of them. We didn't see the same girl on stage twice while we were there. And there seemed to be two types of girls: the smoking hot and in really good shape college girl working her way through nursing school and the dead eyed, covered in tattoo girl that you can only imagine was raised in a disastrously abusive and shitty home and is destined to end up dying in a trailer park meth lab explosion.
I spent most of the time catching up with my son beings that I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. But at one point one of the entertainers walked up to me and, after some brief dialog, asked me if I wanted a private lap dance. I pointed to my girlfriend and told the "entertainer" that I was with her (my girl) tonight and not interested but I'd be happy to pay for one for my girlfriend... so over she went and propositioned her. My girlfriend politely declined making the excuse that she wasn't dressed for a lap dance tonight.
We stayed at the club for two beers, about 45 minutes, before deciding that we've had more than enough to drink that evening and it would be best to head home.
