Let's go earn some bigMacs ladies! We can even supersize with that kinda cash!
Corgan, there are some newer neighborhoods going up on the east side, but yes for the most part its ghetto.





ahah Id kind of be willing to go for the comedic value of the types of dancers that would work there...but that would require me to be in the ghetto at night, which probably isn't worth it.
Actually I went to school on Pennsylvania AVE so i cant talk....but yha, corgan xtc and hardbodies...not on the best side of town.
But its Austin, not really that dangerous anywhere. Ya'll KNOW I'm down for a trip if we have another ATX Stripperfest!

I don't know anyone who has ever been there. Does the club even look decent? Conceptually it could be cool, nude area w BYOB and topless area with liquor. But its in a super-industrial ghetto part of town. Austinites are wimpy, they won't go east of 35 at night.

Its okay nothing like they showed on the tag magazine, at 2:00 am they serve breakfast tacos which I thought was really weird but they were okay .They make 21 and younger were a shirt that has a 21 on it and its crossed out so I taught that was funny I didn't have to wear it but I kept it because I thought it was hilarious.
They're right next door to each other: Hotbodies the all-nude BYOB club, and Hotbodies Too which is a topless "full bar". By the way, I'm taking this off an ad I'm reading from the 10/26 edition of the Austin Chronicle. The all-nude club does indeed feature $5 dances every day and night, and the topless club is only open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday starting at 5 PM. So there you go. Here's the website as well (beware the music!):

I don't suppose anybody knows the connection between Hotbodies and Joy. They seemed to be sharing managers for a while there and may still be. I always assumed that means they shared the same ownership as well...which would explain the "crazy" $5 every day and night.
Here's my take on the $5 dances (keeping in mind that I've never been to this club nor ever plan on going, but I do have a tiny bit of experience with $5 dances in Austin):
a. Songs will only be 2-2.5 minutes in length. If they're offering full length songs, then yeah that's pretty crazy.
b. Chances are the strippers there are only offering non-contact dances for that price. Of course, I'm sure there will be some that don't really give a crap and offer the same type of dance at $5 as they would at $20 (especially if they don't know any better or wouldn't know how to sell a $20 dance), but for the most part, I'm guessing they'll be honoring some kind of unofficial non-contact rule for $5 which means...
c. ...that there will be some upselling going on meaning some gals will be telling guys for $10 they'll offer one-way contact or for $20 they'll do a "normal" dance (normal being defined however you want it to be defined) or whatever price they set.
What I can't figure out is how this benefits the club? When Joy went to $5 dances on Tuesdays they turned what is normally a slow night into a standing-room only night. You literally have to jump over people once you got into the club it was so damn crowded; good luck even finding a seat (this was back a few years ago; I haven't been to Joy on a Tuesday night in a very long time). I assumed this meant some really great liquor sales, and of course, the cover charge for all those customers coming in. But in a BYOB club, the only benefit would seem to be the cover charge which is only something like $10 during the day and $20 at night. I think even the VIP prices are pretty cheap (around $30). That's not really a whole lot of income, and it's not like they're making mad liquor sales being BYOB. I don't know...maybe they are just plain crazy.
Of course we are also talking about a place that, from most reports I've read, is lucky to have more than half a dozen girls working at any one time.
I'm a simple man, making my way through the universe.
