    Default the first night

    Ok, I since you all helped me prepare, I figured I'd give you all a rundown of the evening.

    In short, the job was boring, but I found the experience to be a good one.

    First, I stood there.

    and blushed.

    Then, I stood there some more.

    and blushed.

    Then I yawned once. It's a lot like porn that way. you can only see so much of it before you get a bit numb.

    My crewmates came in, gave me a rash of shit and left (only after each of them bought a dance...I explained to them the economics of said strip club, and told them I'd quit BBQing steaks on my shift for 2 months unless they did...I figured that I wouldn't get the chance flex my puny muscles to establish cred, then I could at least use the advice I got off of Stripperweb and grease some wallets). During their dances, they all told them I was a firefighter, and simply a bit hard up for a bit of cash. Knowing it was a place of business, and everyone works really hard all the time, I wasn't a bit suprised that it took a grand total of 5 minutes for everyone in the club to know my background.

    About 3 hours into my shift, I was given a break.

    I was pointed to the dressing room/lunchroom place. Flesh was everywhere. As I unpacked my sack lunch, and broke the ice with the dancers by sharing a laugh when I pulled out a blindfold that had "love you" written on it in my wife's handwriting.

    As for the dancers A couple ignored, most were polite, and some were downright friendly. One of them even showed me a picture of her son on MY fire engine taken a few months ago. She said he was heart broken when they realized we were out of those plastic red helmets, and asked me if I'd bring her one. I told her I'd do better than that.

    When breaktime was over, I headed back out for more of the same before heading home.

    So what'd I learn here, well, here are my notes and such..just a draft and all, but eh..it's what I've got, sans storyline, purpose, or characters.

    I discovered it was much like my first few months at the Fire department. When you first show up on the scene of a really nasty accident, you're completely engulfed in emotion. You want to puke, cry, scream, and look away; you spend the next few months dealing with it, until finally you show up at a car wreck, and don't really feel the emotional impact anymore. it's a logical thing. Seeing someone's femur sticking out of their leg is about as shocking as seeing a picture of paris hilton with no panties.

    At the Strip club? It was exactly the opposite, only well, the same. I spent the first 4 hours sorrounded by naked wriggling sex. I made a deal with myself..."look at the door. then each patron in the bar. then the bartender. then the barstools..then you may glance for 5 seconds at stage one; now the eyes will make another lap around the place, adding a stop at the video poker machines, and come on back to stage 2...".

    As the dancers, bartenders, etc came up to introduce themselves, it was so obvious that I was making too much eye contact that several dancers decided to inflict even more anguish by TRYING to MAKE me blush.

    But, as time wore on, I grew a bit immune to it. By the time the night was over, I could have BEEN the pole, and wouldn't have cared. Of the 9 girls working, I walked 3 to their cars, ordered 4 cabs, and dropped the other two off at home, as well..they live 3 blocks from me. One it turns out, hangs out with my wife at the dog park.

    I got home, the wife demanded a play-by-play, was suprised and then went all crazy in the sack for the first time in months. (note to self, work more shifts at the strip joint)

    I then went into work 4 hours later at the station, got everyone to hop on the engine later on in the day, and swung by the friendly stripper's house to drop off the helmet for her son.

    Glad it was such a good experience for you..sounds like you had the best first night anyone could hope for(the only thing that would have made you have a better story was if Paris herself had come in, gotten naked, then handed you wads of cash!LOL!)


    And the fire engine thing for the little boy....that was SO sweet. He must have been thrilled!! You just made a little boy very happy...and a stripper too who will likely do everything she can to make your job easier in return!

    it gets better. she's got a date tonight, and the wife and I are sitting.

    I didn't realize that in the course of doing research for a book, I'd be gearing up to tell fire stories of varying truthiness to a 6 year old that's likely to believe every word.

    A bit of both actually. out of the 9 girls, I walked out with ~5 bucks each. some gave me a bit more, some none at all. While the wife and I decided to donate the cash to the burn center, I still thought about who I'd be more likely to help out when the boys come into the station to (as they said) "Say hello and make sure I'm ok and don't need anything."

    Yeah, I agree with everyone else: You sound like an awesome guy. I'd sure like to have you at my club. First night and you're already making the dancers money? You got it down, yo.

    You're doing very well. You are also smart not to stare at the stage--the more they think you are lusting after them, the less they are likely to tip you.

    I even have to be careful at my present club. I normally watch the better dancers in particular wherever I'm at, pretty closely if possible, to make sure they are doing well--and especially if I am trying a new song, to see how well they like it by the way they dance.

    But at my present club there is a serious language barrier. And because there is little verbal communication, a few of them haven't understood why I was watching them and got the wrong idea--like I was a fucking customer or a horndog DJ. Fuck that...

    The dressing room thing is pretty easy after a while. What's tough, in some of the rougher clubs, is breaking up the fights back there. Some of them will attack you if you stop them. At 6'5" you have even less to worry about than I do, but you still don't want to have to deal with an enraged scratching, kicking, biting fury on your ass--it can happen if you stop them from beating the shit out of another dancer. Then there are airnorne shoes, appliances, etc. I got hit with a flying shoe that missed the target dancer once, and bruised a bit.

    You sound awesome, come work at my club!

    The only advice I'd give is be wary of getting involved. That's the biggest mistake I made as a newbie stripper, and the biggest mistake a lot of other SC employees get into. The less you know about people's personal lives, the better off you'll be in that world.

    I think you're prolly right.

    But then again, if I didn't get to know them, it'd be a kinda bland experience. I'm a bit torn between doing the job like everyone else would, and turning into some kind of social experiment in order to garner more material.

    this whole Gonzo journalism thing? It's got a problem I never saw coming. At what point does injecting yourself into a situation pollute the enviornment enough to take away it's authenticity?

    Well, I got my journalism degree while dancing, so maybe I have a unique perspective on this, but IMO, it wasn't worth getting as involved as I did. You think you aren't one of "them" until you wake up one day and realize that you are not only one of them, but the whole thing has taken over your life. Or maybe that was just me...........hard to say, but just be mindful of it. You don't want to ruin your own life because of this "research" you are doing.

    ^^^Haha...I quit dancing briefly to get my BAJ!

    I find that a lot of people just like to get drawn into the little social world of their workplace--whether strip club or restaurant or office space type job. For some reason that has never held any interest for me and it is probably the reason I've been able to keep myself out of almost drama of any kind whatsover.

    However, if you've got yer head on straight and you're just going in for research purposes, I think it would be awesome to delve in for a minute and play "inside guy". Maybe just cause that's a role I've never played. I've always been the one who shows up ready, hits the floor til it's time to go home and politely passes up offers to hang out after work.

    I was starting to have my doubts as well--the going to dinner at your disapproving mom's house all dressed up without pants just sounded a little too cute and contrived to be true. On top of all the other cute little charming details so effective in winning us all over to just how cool a firefighter/novelist/stripclub bouncer could possibly be.

    But now I see we have a Dakota86 using the same computer as you, an 'exotic dancer' who joined the same day as you did, before you met any of them your first night at work, to research your novel.

    My advice? If you're going to write fiction, it should be clearly labeled as such.

    To which I'll say this.

    Before I joined The boards last week, I did in fact sign up with a fake id.

    I'd spent time checking out the boards lurking, not knowing whether or not I'd be trusted to get the information I needed.

    For what it's worth, I never posted anything with the ID, deciding in fact that if I was going to ask for information, doing it in an underhanded way wouldn't be a good way of going about it; So, I posted for some advice, putting out my real intentions with some real questions.

    I apologize if I came off as anything but real, but rest assured (if you care), I am who I say I am.

    The book? it IS fiction. Never said it wouldn't be; however as I get sick of everything fake and hyped in the fire service written about in books, put up on the big screen; so I figured if I was going to make one of the central characters a bouncer in a club, I should prolly know what I was writing about.

    As for Thanksgiving, if you're ever in the PNW region, I'll be happy to introduce you to my mother; she'll back me up
