    Default Can't keep N.O. clubs down

    From The New York Times

    The day before, Jason Mohney, owner of the Hustler and three other local strip clubs, arrived with a few dancers and bouncers and some high-powered flashlights, and found little damage to the red velvet heart-shaped couches and shiny disco balls, just a little moisture and mold on carpets - probably flooded, but perhaps from spilled beer.

    "As soon as we have power, that will be the only thing that's keeping us from opening," Mr. Mohney said. "There'll be couch dances as soon as we can get open," he promised, though one of the dancers, Dawn Beasley, offered one on the spot ($30).

    Good to read that the clubs arent totally messed up beyond the idea of re-opening. I was worried alot of the girls would have no club to go back and work in.

    Glad to hear that the club is still okay!

    Jason's a fucking moron. As long as he's getting the house fees from the dancers one way or another, who gives a fuck if the city's deserted and has no residents, tourists or conventioneers?

    Unfortunately, the truth ! However, it might be that there are some potential club customers to be found at the moment if one of the clubs can get open. Lots of corporations with HQ's/important facilities in New Orleans are bringing in people to recover business records, get computer networks going again etc.

    Melonie, quite true, though that number is unlikely to match, say a standard 20,000 person convention in the city, not to mention thousands of tourists there for fun. But I guess less money is better than none.

    BTW Mel, I hope you haven't had the distinct displeasure of working for Jason himself, as I unfortunately did at Baltimore Hustler.

    I think that I have met him at some point along the line, but I have avoided ever working for the Hustler/DejaVu chain for obvious reasons. You're absolutely correct that this group has all of the compassion of a money counting machine, and would gladly continue to collect dancers' stage fees knowing full well that their earnings potential will be next to nothing.

    Aaaand another one from today's Statesman:

    NEW ORLEANS — Saint Jones just needs lights and women. Then, he says, he could make a killing.

    Jones is the manager of Big Daddy's, home of the bottomless/topless table dancers, famous for the swinging legs — mannequin limbs clad in fishnet stockings that kick suggestively out the front window of the Bourbon Street strip club. The sign promises the "prettiest girls in the South" and the luxury of washing the dancer of your choice.

    Hurricane Katrina ran off all of Jones' performers. Now, with a city filled with thousands of men, most of them military and civilian workers, Jones sees opportunity. Dancers could make $500 a night easy, he says.

    "This is a bigger convention than any convention we've ever had," he says.

    Hmm...I wonder what thought is going through his head?

    "If the legs swing...they will come..."

    To each their own, I guess...

    I think he's probably on the right track. There ARE alot of men in town and they WILL want something other than themselves for entertainment, ya know?

    Btw, Jason isn't the owner of those other clubs - he's the owner's son. Daddy just lets Junior play bigshot

    There are quite a few FDNY over there right now and I'm sure they wouldn't mind a little R & R after a hard day's work.
