From: Lapmerich@aol.com Date: 1996/09/26 Running late as usual, I arrived at Sam's about 8pm on Tuesday armed with a handful of ASSC hats, my ASSC polo shirt, and curious anticipation. As I parked and walked up, the security guy grunted and I grunted back before heading in. Sam's kind of reminds me of a better Wild Goose; same type of crowd, much better dancers. Anyway, I walk up to a group of guys sitting to the far right of the bar and introduce myself. They look at me funny. Oops, not the internet guys. So I traverse down along the bar scanning the room and say Hi to Athena.. oh, Athena. I ask her where the internet guys are and she directs me to the other side of the room. Ah ha! There's ALS. I kind of recognize him from his web page pics. I walked up and go through my introductions a second time and the guys present were RJ, Dave's Friend, IRL, ALS, and Dodger who popped back over a few minutes later. Hey, now I'm 1 for 2 so far... SPLASH, I spill RJ's drink. Okay, 1 for 3. I owe ya one RJ, lunch sometime, I'm buying of course. It really was very nice meeting you and I probably wouldn't have made the Sam's leg of the tour if you weren't going to show, especially since I knew the other guys were making it to TJ's later that night. So until next time Uncle RJ, it was indeed a pleasure. The rag-tag group chatted away for the next 45 minutes, and I must say, it does add another dimension to ASSC after meeting the people you post/email/irc with. ALS deservedly owns the name Pope as even the Sam's dancers were all over him. It's either a religious thing or the bony butt. I figure it's the bony butt. Gals say they don't like it, but I think otherwise. IRL, are those frames for real? It sure helps in getting dancers to remember who you are! IRL and I had some fun sitting at the stage tipping Athena while he tried to recruit her for CP. DF (Dave's Friend) looked like my buddy Bob. Not Bob "I wasn't at ASSConvoy" Smyth, but my non-ASSC friend Bob. Great guy, I love his posts; a perfect mix of sarcasm, humor, and ATOS (all the other shit). He shot the guns with Adrianna and got creamed. That can be a good or bad thing depending on where you're sitting. Besides, she got me all sticky with what DF got her. Dodger was a man after my own heart. He loves LAPS! But we'll get into that later during the TJ's segment. Through all this I almost forgot to mention the dancers at Sam's! Adrianna is great. That's the best way I can describe her. A perfect mix between charisma, looks, and fun! What I'm saying here doesn't really do her justice. She can stand behind my bar anytime. Beautiful Athena is righteously deserving of Zbone's dancer of the month. Friendly as all heck, a body to kill for, and an amazing stage presence. Unfortunately, I didn't have much of a chance to chat as we all needed to head over to TJ's. I'll be back sometime soon. X-man (Zbone's spy) showed up towards the very end with one of his buddy's. Nice meet ya guy! Onto TJ's... Again, I show up late. In between Sam's and TJ's, I get paged several times and took a 45 minute ASSConvoy break to handle some business. Walking inside TJ's, the place was actually not very full. I hear my name and see The Kid sitting at the rail with about 15 or more other ASSC'ers. They've taken over the stage! This is great! I get accosted by Sonya, a wonderful waitress there, but finally make my way to the rail and meet HGoof, Blue Sky, DougY, Engnr1, and a bunch of other guys I'm sorry I forgot the names of. We all wrote our names down on some napkin I think, but who has it? The place was buzzin with ASSC energy. Alright.. who was folding the Origami? There were little damn birds, elephants, and all kinds of animals all over the tip rail, on stage, in the bathroom, in Jodi's bra... Some of the dancers Tues night were Sierra, Jasmine, Wednesday, AJ, Jennifer, Sweet, Christal, Mercedes, Chanel, Marissa, Barbi, Cherry, Crimson, plus a host of other dancers I forgot or didn't see. One thing that does suck sometimes with TJ's is that there will usually be an average of 30-35 girls working on a weeknight shift but depending on the customers and the girls moods, maybe only 15-20 will be circulating the floor at any given time. Hey ALS, you probably would have liked several more of the gals on Thurs and Fri nights. It's almost totally different gals working towards the weekends; less tattoos, less piercings, and in general a few points higher on the scale. I think you would have really liked Angel, Jade, and a variety of others. The waitresses working were Jodi, lil' Jessica, and Sonya. CeeCee was doing the pouring behind the bar. Blue Sky, it was nice to finally meet you. I'm sorry I had the waitresses give you such a hard time about the name as you never told me what your real name was last time and I had them go up to every customer asking if they were Blue Sky. DougY, dude! I still don't know how we never ran into each other. DougY knows his people at TJ's! A Sunday regular, the gals love the man. Well, except Jessica who's defected to the Pope. I think she's moving to SF. Again he shows his uncanny powers. Dave's Friend had an interest in AJ so I pulled Jodi over to get her from the dressing room. After a few dances, he had a smile on his face and walked kinda funny. Is that a wrench in your pocket or are you just glad to see me? Oh Kid, Jodi is great, and married. But she's still as friendly as all heck and has one of the best personalities anywhere. Engnr1 disappeared and we located him with Marissa sitting at the front benches. He had a smile the whole time. Until ALS went up and lapped him of course. You should have seen the look on the dancer's face let alone Engnr1's expression. These are the times you wished you had a video camera going. I keep forgetting the dancer's name, but IRL went to the back benches with her while we cheered him on. I think he defected another dancer to CP. Hey IRL, what was this? A recruitment mission? :-) Dodger the whole time was busy lapping away with Crimson (who by the way never gets a breath of air... you seriously have to take a number with her to get a damn lap), Wednesday, and Christal. Hoped you liked my recommendations Dodger. Myself? Caught inbetween a serious bout of DP. No big deal ALS says. Easy for him to say, he's the Pope. Skats finally showed up fairly late. Good meeting you bud! We'll have to hit another club sometime soon. Zbone and Saxbeat, I wish you guys could have made it. It would have been really cool meeting you two as well. Maybe next time. As I left TJ's around 1am, I started my 4 hour drive to Vegas... but that's another post in itself. Rich -- NEW! Las Vegas Strip Club Review http://members.aol.com/VegasSCR
