    Default Traveling for work

    I'd like to travel to some clubs along the east coast andf i was wondering this:

    Should I send a picture to the club and ask if they are hiring, or should I show up the night I want to work?
    Happy Birthday......Mr. President.

    I was also wonderinng this. I've been considering traveling across country this summer and I wouldn't mind stopping along the way to make a couple dollars. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this perhaps?

    I did it several times. I kept my US road atlas and a Motel6 guide in my car at all times. Didn't have any plan, just drove in whatever direction and stopped when I hit a town. Tried to time it so I checked into a motel around 5 or 6pm, got the phone book and found a club or two, called them up, asked about auditions and directions, got ready and headed down. I'd be sure to ask when was shift change so I could arrive at the beginning of night shift. I spent most of my time travelling south, midwest and west, and found it EASY to just walk in and start work right away. When you do this you have to be VERY adaptable because you will be learning new clubs and rules every few days. Sometimes I'd roll into some town, dance that night, then check out and drive on the very next day. Sometimes I'd stay a couple days or a week, maybe a month. Once I stayed nearly 2 years LOL.

    Oh, for getting hired, I'd always be sure to have the number and address for the hotel I was staying in to put on the paperwork, and tell them I was just moving to town. That way I was covered in case they didn't want to hire a girl who was just passing through.

    Where the east coast clubs are concerned, most of the clubs with decent earnings potential have way more dancers trying to work there than the club really has room for. To prevent the dancer to customer ratio from getting ridiculous, most clubs now strictly limit the number of dancers working a particular shift on a particular day. This is accomplished by dancers filling in slots in an advance schedule (sometimes 2-3 weeks in advance). So while it's possible that you could walk into a high earnings potential east coast club, be hired, and possibly be allowed to work the rest of that night, it's highly unlikely that you'd be able to schedule yourself to work the rest of the same week or even the following week (since girls already working there scheduled those nights 2-3 weeks ago!).

    Your best bet is to e-mail pictures of yourself to the club, hoping to be "hired" and "scheduled" by remote control. That way you'll already have a 'booking' to work specific nights at specific clubs when you do arrive.

    That sounds like a very, very fun and good idea. I'm considering taking off this summer maybe..... hmm....

    Heehee, voodoo, that's my plan for next year! I have a whole semester of nothingness while in college, so basically 8 months where I don't have to do anything and where the slow season is hitting at my club - ever heard of a better excuse to travel around?

    The only bad thing is I have a boyfriends so I either have to miss him terribly (resulting in probably only being gone two weeks), or pay for him to go with me.... doesn't sound so bad after all.
