    Duh How far are you willing to go?

    I mean distance-wise, of course. How far are you willing to drive to get to a decent club?

    I am asking this because last night, a friend and I drove two hours just to AUDITION. One stage set, and the manager wouldn't let us work for the night. And he was kind of a douche, too.

    Now, I'm thinking it might be worth my time to go out to Buffalo (1 hour away from where I will be living for the next month) to make some sweet money.

    But how far is the longest you've traveled to work on a consistent basis? Was it worth it?

    I used to travel 7 hrs each way every weekend to work for 2 nights. It was totally worth it for me. I made more $ in less time, and could take the rest of the week off for school. Sure, it was exhausting, but so is working 5 or 6 nights a week for less. You just have to find your spot. Try a few until you do.

    I drove an hour and a half each way once-that lasted a couple months because the money wasn't worth it to me. I think I might drive that far consistently if I had a friend to split the commute and the money was amazing. Any further than that and no way.

    I knew a girl who drove two hours each way 4 days a week to get to her club. I wouldn't do that. I'd just move closer.

    I think the farthest I drove was an hour but that didn't last long because the money was crappy. Normally I tended to drive a half hour away because there is less chance someone I know will be there.

    I drive three hours round trip three nights a week and some nights I have multiple girls w/ me to split gas $ but I'm moving soon closer bc the drive is just so tedious and I honestly dont have anything holding me back. I wouldn't do it tho if I didnt think the money was worth it of course. 1,500+ a week isnt bad in my eyes.

    40min....it was worth it (and not, at the same time. more money but way higher stress). But, that is the farthest I was willing to travel, because even doing just that, I had several close calls with my falling asleep at the wheel on my way home.

    My last club was 45 mins away and it was worth it as it was the nearest club to me, aside from a HORRIBLE hole-in-the-way local place. I also drove 6 hours for 4 or 5 days at a time to work golf season at Myrtle Beach, and that money was definitely worth it.

    This is a great thread..there's clubs that are fairly close by, but I won't work 'em as they're way high tipouts, plus being too close to home where I might see someone I know. The two I'm considering are about 1 hr. drive each way

    The furthest I've gone was 45-1 hour.... if the money was reaaaally worth it I would go further. Especially here in SoCal.

    I drive an hour because the money is good/consistent. I wish I could work closer though, I hate driving.

    I have gone all the way to the opposite side of the united states several times. Each time its a new experience but usually worth it. My recent club is about 3 hours away, one way and its waaaaay worth it.

    I drove 3 hours each way for many many many dancer trips. I would usually stay in the place I was dancing for 2-4 shifts then drive back home. This is what I did the most often. I've also driven up to 5-10 hours for other dancer trips! I had so much fun traveling to dance but it was also exhausting.
    Another favorite trick of mine was to always manipulate the situation when my day job sent me anywhere to do anything! They would pay to get me to a place and pay for hotel for duration .... so I'd just add a few extra days on and crash at hostels before coming back home so I could do 3-4 stripper shifts in whatever location I was in.

    ^ Yeah .... the gas adds up .... blech. Eventually I finally found a commuting buddy and we would often go together and share gas/hotel. I wouldn't recommend "hunting" for a travel partner per say, but just waiting till you meet someone you gel with at the club you find yourself liking the most.
