Better to be a "tent" than a "dangling non-participant" imho, but what the heck.

In clubs that are new to me (as if!) I always tip the door girl a bit more than a solo buck and ask her which waitress(es) will give me the best service.... usually that waitress will also know which entertainers do more than "dance." Heck, sometimes the waitresses are more fun than the dancers!

Money talks in the SCs but you gotta know who to spend it with and on.

For example, if your day's budget is only a C note, you can still (if you know what and who you are doing) manage to have a good meal and an even greater dessert.

The other day, the target in question "wandered" by (actually, I was her target, obviously) seeking just a drink.

A few moments later (literally) and a drink in her hand we were on our way to Nirvana to engage in some rather "deep" discussion which was more than intellectually "draining."

My lunch and bar tab was 29 for the morning, supplemented by the 11 dollar tip, plus the three Jacksons for the extended dessert menu (2 ringy-dingies for me!!! She is v-e-r-y good at what she does and NQNS at that, DT, BLS, TB, etc.; she claims protein cures her chapped lips! No shit!.

The above not my usual cuppa tea -- lack of relative privacy, opportunity for extended companionship and more full services, but, nonetheless something that felt really good at the time, and there was zero extended time spent in making pre-arrangements as may happen in the usual hobby world.
