Yeah this is the Bill as passed through the Senate Judiciary Committee last night, http://www.senate.mo.gov/05info/bills/sb032.htm . So if any state resident's can do anything to help the cause, please contact your local club owner or bookstore owner and do what you can. Missouri's adult industry is counting on anyone that has a voice to use it now to stop this before it goes any farther.

As someone who is aiming at getting into the technology part of the "biz" full time during the middle of this year, here's where I personally plan on helping the industry to go in five years:

Smart club owners will have tapped into the resources of web streaming to provide their own "channels" of information about the ladies/men in their clubs. Marketing is the key in any business and the internet will provide the opportunity for owners to create their own multimedia presentations of what the club offers. Imagine every night organized as a show over the web, maintaining customer privacy if desired, but creating additional revenue through customer membership (which includes web site access to pics and video clips of the featured dancers). Content will be continuously changed to keep website visitors satisfied and another option for the wealthier club owners is to move ladies/men around from location to location, maximising exposure.

Other membership priviledges will be added such as private parties, autograph signings, birthday night specials - any concept that will provide customer loyalty. The idea is to boost the overall celebrity status of the ladies/men in the industry. Following the same concept as Hollywood and the porn industry, strip clubs have to move away from the "on-site" concept and put their dancers "virtually" everywhere. The idea of a customer being able to "tip" a strip club dancer that he/she is watching over the web is an excellent one - The internet is GLOBAL and strip clubs with a well-organized presentation can make some excellent money - regardless of how many actual customers showed up that night. The advantage over the porn industry is that a loyal customer can fly to a location to meet their favorite "star" to get a lap dance in person (which is another source of revenue through airline/hotel affiliations).

And for the skeptics who may think that broadcasting the shows online will stop people from actually coming to the clubs: Dont worry, the presence of a beautiful body will always override the virtual experience. The idea is simply to let more people know where to find 'em.

What I am talking about is the band supporting the stripper, not sharing the spotlight... And the band would need to be formed for the purpose and rehearsed accordingly.

...But I think that the idea could work in a high-end club designed for the purpose. In the past, (and I'm sure in the present in some part of the globe) strippers did in fact perform with live musicians. Also strippers used to actually remove their clothing as part of their act, which was often a themed skit. The norm today seems to be more "nude dancing" instead of actual stripping, and I think that a great deal of mystique and intrigue is lost because of this. What I'm imagining would be more akin to burlesque than to the modern strip club, but I think that many could appreciate a more artistic presentation, and that this could appeal to a much wider audience than the typical SC customer.

This topic has been discussed in Music Mix--here's the link:

It's not a bad idea, but it wouldn't work in most stripclubs as they are set up now.
It would have to be done as you have described above, and even then it would be a tough proposition in all but the bigger cities, where you will find more people willing to be experimental in their entertainment. There is a club in Windsor, Ontario which is set up as a venue for performance, with the focus on erotic art as opposed to lap dancing, with all the inherent drawbacks that entails to artistic endeavor. It sounds like a very cool place--we haven't gone yet, but I am very intrigued by the idea. Maybe your idea would work in a place like that.

I was a most unwilling participant in an attempt to have a band play, with a DJ between sets, one New Year's Eve. It was one of the worst gigs I have ever had. It was a smaller club, with barely enough room for the dancers onstage, much less a band as well. The band couldn't play what most of the dancers needed to make their performance effective. Much of the crowd were friends of the band, loyally showing their support, but not caring to get lapdances or even tip all that much. There was a conflict of interest as to where the focus of attention was. Noone made any money. And the fucking DJ was pissed off at having to deal with all of it, lol.

I wish I could go back in time and give it a better shot, but I doubt if it would have worked. At least I might have enjoyed the New Year's more, lol.

Kansas City MO's response to the bill is the most open and forthright I have seen from a municipality.

They are basically saying that adult businesses being shut down will hurt their economy.

That's unsual for a city to say "count us out" from an anti adult entertainment ordinance that is proposed.

Could it be that they smell the Christian Conservative agenda behind this proposed legislation and are rebelling against it?
