I was there, and it was great. The staff and dancers at Temptations were fabulous, and treated the ASSC'ers very well, including providing a very nice cold buffet spread, complemented by a couple of chocolate cakes which I understand were provided by ASSC'ers. I had a wonderful time chatting with a small number of the ASSC'ers and a few of the dancers while I was in the club from 4:15 to 1:15 -- both groups were a large step above the usual to be found in strip clubs. I am proud to report that I got the first lapdance of ASSCCON-2, with Montana at around 4:30. Due to my reduced financial circumstances I was not able to indulge in many fewer lapdances than I would have liked, but the dances I got were all "superior" at least (in order not to denigrate the Temptations dancers by comparison to the evaluations in my only previous posting to ASSC, made after Atomic Dog's bachelor party at the New Century, let me state that "superior" is at least as good as "awesome"). I got dances with Montana, Shavon, Siren, and Asia. I can understand how Shavon has developed such a loyal following, and Siren still has all the "oomph" that left Atomic Dog in such an enervated state at his bachelor party. The highlight of the evening: Bob Smyth... onstage... dancing... in a bikini. Well, now we know what he wears under those plaid pajamas. The lowlight of the evening: no ALS. We heard that he had been in the club with Zbone the previous evening, but where the heck were they during ASSCON-2? I demand an immediate investigation, and a movie by Oliver Stone. -- Martin Veneroso | Interested in a mailing list about poker in the Bay Area? slick@best.com | Write to ba-poker-request@lists.best.com for a subscription.
