Thanks ladies! My mother wanted me to become a writer at one point. It's funny though, I don't like to write unless it's a subject I'm passionate about. I wouldn't be able to stand the thought of writing for say a newspaper, unless I could always pick my topics.

La Bo is saying they aren't hiring any dancers until sept 1st... shall we start a betting pool to see if they actually follow through?

Trust me, don't bother with that bet ;)

I just heard on Rush Limbaugh show that the StripClubs/Gentlemen's Clubs in Denver did not make any where near what they had expected from the Democtratic Convention.

Anybody work during this time have any personal input?

I'm at Diamond, and it was DEFINITELY not what they hyped it up to be. I had mediocre nights all around, always picked up WAY late, a la midnight or so, and the normal local business wasn't in because the media was jumping up and down and going OMG DON'T GO DOWNTOWN YOU'LL EXPLODE! I still made some money, but not anything out of an ordinary slowish week. Cetia, though- I'm working me some 15 hour days. Hells yeah. That conference is freaking Christmas around here! ;D

ETA: I didn't actually see any new dancers wandering around this week! Though we did have two girls trying to turn tricks walking around sitting with customers (not dancers, they came in as customers) who were quickly given the option of "leave now, or come to the blanket party in the back".

MSNBC is hosted by condescending douchebags and jealous, over-the-hill bitches.

Though I doubt either convention will bring in much money to the club. Mostly due to politicos watching their back and avoiding scandal.... I predict that the Republican convention will bring more money to the clubs than the Dem convention.

Article link below talks about Republican Convention coming up. The point of view was taken from Prostitutes migrating to the NRC. At the very end of the article the regional manager for VCG Holdings was quoted about business plans for the convention.

hmmm ... in the MSNBC interview with Shotgun Willie's dancers the ending snippet was that 'good ideas bring good money'. But then all reports are that earnings potential at Shotgun Willie's (and other Denver clubs) sucked during the Democratic convention. Hmmm ....

LOL! I'd pay for a copy of that!

Okay, I wasn't going to do this, but I can't resist. The whole video is funny, but I have friends in both Russia and Georgia, so I really laughed at this starting at 1:40 into the video.

I'll send some texts to some dancers at my old club in mpls and see what they say...

I'm telling y'all, it's gonna be a boon for the gay escorts. The Republicans will be hanging out in the Minneapolis airport's men's restroom. Though perhaps the Libertarians went out and partied?

Not a shock, ultimately. Though how cute was the dancer on the Daily Show last night? Which club was that?

I dunno, I can totally see private dancers and/or escorts doing well during huge conventions like this.

The dancer(s) weren't familiar to me, but the club was The Seville Club in Minneapolis, right next to the Target Center.

I ended up working 3 days of the convention. The first was awful, Monday I left with under $100, Tuesday I actually did really well, 600+ which is unheard of on a weekday for me, Thursday was average, and so was the weekend.

Fuck the DNC, I'm all about CEDIA. I might even follow it to Atlanta next year if I can.

This was basically the RNC for us. Seville did the best out of all the clubs in the Cities, and it was still mediocre for most of us (except the sunday before the RNC was AWESOME! Go figure I didn't work then.) I ended up not working when the Daily Show came in. I'm pissed.

She's Tessa. I like working with her. The chick having dinner with the Daily Show guy was Selena. She's hilarious.

Seville didn't hire anyone new AT ALL, local or not. Anyone they hired (including girls who were vouched for) were told they could work after the convention. I'm glad they did that, because we had 40 girls/night at some point in each shift, and we normally have 30 tops. Add to that being dead till at least midnight...
