I also remember when I was in Portland that the DJs constantly reminded people to go tip the girls on stage... I know when I've went as a customer that even people not sitting at the stage would regularly go up and tip the stage. This was only a few years ago. Has it really changed that much in the last few years?
Other than that one detail, it seems like everything you say is in line with everybody else's commentary and experiences.
It's too bad that it sucks so bad to dance there. I sometimes daydream of moving back home although it is not the same place it used to be. Just going to hell in a handbasket, but most larger populated areas are. That is not unique to Portland. I think the cost of living out there and the amount of infuriating traffic is just too much to be ok with bullshit money though. So I get why girls would quit dancing there if it is so bad or only do it on the side of something better.
