I'm pretty sure I've told this story on these boards before, but oh well...
Lets go back many, many, many years to when I was 15. I was in Daytona and working for my dad. I worked with a guy who was in his late twenties, and the two of us use to go to concerts all the time, sometimes three or four a week. Well anyways, after one such Butthole Surfers concert, we ended up on the other side of town and my friend tripping way too much to drive, so we stopped by his dad's little establishment. A strip club. So I got to spend the rest of the night and early morning meeting his father, drinking free screwdrivers, and tipping strippers with the house's dollars. Wasn't that bad of a night at all!
Anywho, skip ahead many years. I'm 21 and dating a lesbian who's giving straightness a shot. She's a bit of a partier which is why we didn't work out, me being the 'good guy'. So anyway, one night we're heading out to one of her gay bars to meet some friends of hers, but when we show up, the place is dead. So she tells me she has a treat for me, a real surprise. She drives us to the other side of town to this little club and it's all I can do not to laugh. As we walked through the front door my girlfriend is like "Surprise! It's a strip club." But her words are drowned out by the bartender's jolly bellow of "Ryan!" as he runs around the bar to give me a hug. My girlfriend's jaw dropped and I had a fun time letting her live a night of confusion while I partied it up for a change.
Yup, same club. And those were the only two times I'd ever been there, though I knew the owner fairly well due to his son.
