This week (as I write this), my club (Club Cabos) was converted into a sports bar on short notice, and all the dancers and bouncers were let go. So, I met the guy who books a bunch of clubs in Portland, and it being the end of the week, he gave me a list of shifts that no one else had claimed. The Saturday 4-9 at Double Dribble was one such shift. Now, I had already read the previous review, but I just HAD to check it out for comedic value. Having set my expectations pretty low helped out a lot. The air is gross, the guys are gross, and the girls are, sadly, gross, save for one young blonde who could have worked pretty much anywhere (but she was new to dancing, I think). The guys stare without tipping quite a lot, but most of the customers are off playing video crack and drinking themselves to oblivion. I did have one cute, smiling guy tip $2 and $3 a song - which sort of made up for his grudgingly-tipping-occassionally and staring-but-not-tipping buddies. I wouldn't get your hopes up about such generous tippers frequenting the place. I sold two private dances for $5 apiece - and get this, I REALLY had to hustle the guy! The 'private' dance area is totally open to the rest of the bar, except for some obligatory hanging beads. One of the bitchy bartenders (who was topless, and fat) yelled at me for standing on the couch in my shoes. lol! The AIR in this place does more damage to the crummy couch than shoes ever could. After those dances, I just hung out in the dressing room and read the enormous book of house rules, which featured such gems as "shower before you work" and "don't wear your street clothes on stage". And in case you like talking to old mangy guys for free, the customers can't even really hold a conversation; the only one who looked well-adjusted and friendly enough for it was the cute guy, and his jerk friends were busy hogging him. I made about $100 during this shift. It was 2-3x as much as the other girls made; hopefully, they'll find better venues, or jobs other than stripping. The only good thing I can say about this place (other than it was pretty fucking funny to work there) was that they have a real pole (which Cabos didn't have) so I got to try a few things out. So, as Lil Red Riding Hood said in her review, don't work here. Unless you're a glutton for punishment like me.

Additional Information
I had to work here for 2 months in the summer because I wasn't feeling very hot because I was in a car accident and had to wear a neck brace. I couldn't afford to take much time off, so I had to dance at a few dives who would let me dance in a neck brace. The Double Dribble (A.K.A. The Drip) is one of those dives. I was the hottest one that ever walked through their door. One stage is raised and has a seating area with tables. That floor holds about 15 people (stage included). The other level has a cement floor with pool tables, lottery, and bar. It's nasty, old, dusty, with no air-conditioning. It only sells beer, wine, and snacks. Old mangy guys who don't even have a dollar to tip sit around the tables, drink and try to get your phone number. So if you're really hot you can make about $100 on a good night, and $30 on a really bad night. If you fit the normal standards of the other girls your best night will be about $30-$40. Tip: Guys will never pay $20 for a table dance here. You might get $10 if you're cute, but the house girls usually charge $5.
