    Default Portland: clubs with iPod hookups?

    My current club has the option of plugging iPods into the stereo system, which I totally love. Almost all the dancers have iPods so we can each bring our entire music collections to work and you hear a really wide variety of music. Plus I have so many options that I never get bored of my own music. It's pretty much my favorite thing about working at this club.

    Anyway, I'm looking for a new club to dance at because I just got hired to bartend at my current place and they prefer the bartenders to not be stripping there. Does anyone know of any other clubs where the dancers can plug in and play their iPods?

    Devil's Point.

    Of course a lot of it depends on if you trust your ipod to be off playing when you can't constantly guard it.

    If they have anything besides a jukebox to play music, all you need is a mini to RCA connector to plug into the board. Most dj's know how to hook it up, and if not, you can practice at home with you home stereo system (it plugs into the same place you DVD player or CD player pugs into the receiver.

    Once you know how to recognize a RCA jack, all you need to do is figure out which channel it is using and then it is just a push of button and away you go with your iPod.

    DJ's don't like being shown up by dancers and may make some excuse why they "can't" use the iPod like "The owner won't allow it" or some other BS. Be sure to get permission from the manager if you DJ is pulling that crap.

    Sometimes all the RCA plugs are in use. So that would be a legit excuse for not letting you use it. But that is rare for professional DJ set up in a strip club.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    At Devil's Point, where is the stereo located within the bar? I mean, would my iPod be sitting right there for any customer to swipe if they wanted to? Where I work now (Magic) the stereo is behind the bar, in plain view of the cameras, so someone would have to pretty bold to go back there and take it.

    Paris, I think I actually have that connector thing, from another club I worked at a while back. I'd forgotten all about it, so thanks for reminding me! I hate working with DJs, so I like small divey clubs that generally have a jukebox, but it's good to know that I should be able to hook up my iPod if there's a CD player and if I can find that connector.

    At DP it looks like the sound board is to the side of the stage and it is a fairly accessible area, but it's also right by the stage and once the music stopped they'd have to get through the whole bar to get out of the door.

    Yeah. I actually left my ipod there once and had to come get it during the night shift! Of course I'd called and the bartender had rescued it.

    The Djs (at least kenoy in my experience) are very laid back about using ipods. And of course if you're working the day shift then you can just throw down a 4 hour playlist.

    Two I can see -- that's how it is at Marys on days and mids. But one! OMG I would want to work one just to put together my very favorite four-hour-long iPod playlist from hell.
