Re: how far do you drive?
What club are you auditioning at? I may be able to give you some side road directions to help you avoid 95... I avoid it at all costs unless I'm in a super hurry to get home and obviously there's no traffic on it at 4am :)
Re: how far do you drive?
im going out of state.. checking out delaware clubs tomorrow, and then dc clubs this weekend. theres no way to get to delaware without going up 95, is there? i cant think of any.. esp not one that would take shorter time. but if you know of it.. do tell!
Re: how far do you drive?
Ah, I don't know as much about Delaware, but as far as DC Clubs, try Good Guys or JPs. If you like cool management go to JPs. If you can deal with drama, and shitty managment, catty biotches go to Good Guys. And I drive about 45 minutes to an hour.
Re: how far do you drive?
I have about a 2 hour drive to my main club. I work 3 clubs and the closest is less than 5 miles away.
Re: how far do you drive?
You better be making some good money, and I have not heard anything good about DE clubs, to drive 2 hours to work and back. Think of gas prices...I work about 45 minutes away and I spend at least $100 a week on gas. I say just go straight to DC and skip DE.
Re: how far do you drive?
Driving is one reason im not a stripper as it would take me 1 and half hours (about) to get to work and i dont know how i would cope with the drive home after a long night.
Let us know how you go if you do decide to do it.
At least there is less chance of being recognised if that worries you.
Re: how far do you drive?
If you are working night shift, there shouldn't be much of a traffic issue. By the time you are out of the DC area- traffic moves pretty smoothly unless 1. there is construction (which you should be able to find out about from the I-95 website) or 2. there is a backup at the tolls.
I have only ran into construction issues very late at night, since they wouldn't do it during the day with all the cars that need to get where they are going. I've only had toll traffic during the day- don't know if it happens at night. A few times driving through Maryland before hitting Baltimore, the lanes were packed (All 4/5 of them) but the traffic moved pretty well.
I drive anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours depending on what city I want to go to. It sucks, but sometimes there is no other option. But I'm not a fall asleep at the wheel driver. I've done a 3 hour drive after a 8pm-4am shift, but very rarely.
I can't wait to know what it feels like to drive 20 or even 30 minutes to work- must be nice.:-\
Re: how far do you drive?
Man, I used to cross the Canadian border to work. Sometimes I had to wait two hours at the border. If there was no traffic (only late night) then the drive was a little over an hour. Our business may be one of the few that is worth the drive!
Re: how far do you drive?
25 mins. I could never work 2 hours or more away.
Re: how far do you drive?
I drive about 20 minutes or so. I figure that if guys really have the urge to see some titties, they can drive the two hours to see me - Im not driving two hours to see them!
Re: how far do you drive?
I drive 6 hours to work, obviously I spend some time there once there.
I used to commute 3 hours to the SF bay area every weekend to work, while in school.
I feel your pain, but I like working and living in two different places, helps me be more focused to make $$$
Re: how far do you drive?
I drive 2 hours there, stay 2 weeks, drive 2 hours home. No way in hell am I doing that every day.
Re: how far do you drive?
I take a bus or get the BF to drive me to work because I can't drive yet (have my final test this comming Friday). But it takes 2 1/2 hours to get there. I only work two days a week and stay one night there. It does encourage you to make more money though.
Give the driving a try to see if it's something that you'd be able to do. If not then just stay there for acouple of days. You've got some options here at least. Good luck!
Re: how far do you drive?
Yea i travel 2 and a half hours to work but i stay 4 nighs to work.
Re: how far do you drive?
About 45 min. to an hour for me depending on traffic.
Re: how far do you drive?
I drive an average of 1 hour. I work 2 clubs and one is just under an hour and one is just over an hour from my house. I drive this 6 nights a week. It works for me but winter makes the drives longer.
Re: how far do you drive?
When I danced I worked about 45 minutes from home.
Re: how far do you drive?
Re: how far do you drive?
All the dancers I know that drive a few hours to work usually make a trip every week and just stay the weekend. It takes me around 15-20 minutes. I probably couldn't handle more than half an hour.

you spend that much now?! i work about a half hour away, currently, and i work 4-5 days a week and dont spend that much on gas! dc is going to be a long commute for me, too, and then add in parking, etc. im kinda screwed by living near baltimore!
im gonna try it out today and see what its like. the problem with staying overnight is my kitty.. he cant come, obviously, and i cant leave him for days at a time. or at all, really, i feel too guilty. there's no harm in trying it out though, and if the drive bothers me, i'll stop! lots of people at other jobs have a commute, so we'll see. thanks for all the answers!
Re: how far do you drive?
A two-hour drive through construction sites and such at 3:00 in the morning after being at a club all night? Are you sure you'll stay awake that long?
You might want to get in touch with MrChristopher. I'm pretty sure his club is around Wilmington, DE, and he could get some info to you.
There are ways into and through Delaware without using 95, but they take some effort, too. If you need them, let me know, and I'll check with my brother, the truck driver, for directions.
Re: how far do you drive?
it takes me an hour and half to two hours to get to work and a half hour to get home. ohhh, how i love l.a. traffic...
Re: how far do you drive?
I drive about an hour to both clubs. It's generally $10 round trip in gas, but I have a Hyundai! I do sometimes stay over night with the boy especially on weekends. Too tired to drive the damn turnpike.

thanks, but it wasnt as bad as i thought! i mean, an hour and a half drive isnt ideal but this weekend im going to just stay overnight so maybe i'll do that. i'll figure it out. i was tired driving home last night but when i think about it, there were nights that i wouldnt get out of some of my clubs at home til 2:30 or 3 anyway, so i'm getting home around the same time. baltimore just isnt going too well for me right now!
