The latest inflation report is not a huge deal. Look…inflation is way down from where it was. The final push to get it to target levels will be a slog. As long as oil stays high, it will be slow-going.

Wasn't Berlin a very large club? Not sure that's well-suited to become a male strip club if so.

Now that’s interesting. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I don’t think we’ll have to wait long…it seems Matt is already moving to Chicago.

Things seem to be moving fast regarding the Chicago location. Matt's FB page indicates they are already looking to hire dancers/bar staff/etc. That suggests to me that an opening might be just a few weeks away. I have no inside info, but I'm going with the rumor that they are taking over the Horseshoe. Matt was in Chicago recently and he did visit the Lucky Horseshoe during his visit.

It's reported that traffic was stopped in both directions before the bridge collapse. However, there were some workers on the bridge at the time filling potholes and it seems they ended up in the water. Several but not all were rescued. It's also reported that multiple cars went in the water as well. If traffic had been stopped, they may have been the worker's cars that had been parked on the bridge.

Eureka Springs seems pretty remote. I'm sure it's lovely for a 2-3 day visit but I would start to get fidgety after that. The closest decent sized city is Tulsa which is more than a two hour drive from what I can tell...and Tulsa doesn't even qualify as a big city IMO. So big city life is pretty far away if you're yearning for culture/sports/etc.

Well I wonder what all this means? I guess we'll have to wait and see. So what happens on the other nights? More drag is my prediction.

There is an announcement on the Stock Website indicating: We Listened May 2024 CONTROL/ALT/REFRESH Anyone know what is changing? Also, it seems that Monday is now drag night.

One lousy inflation report does not make a crisis. Let’s see how the trend goes in the coming months. Recoveries from inflation are almost never completely linear. There will be bumps in the road which are normal and expected.

I saw that too. Matt’s Facebook page shows he was just in Chicago visiting numerous bars…including the Lucky Horseshoe. Based on Matt’s postings, a future Atlanta location seems further down the path…but I guess we’ll see. I’ll be thankful to have a non-Florida location to see hot guys shake their stuff and spend my gay $ at.

Barcelona sits ENE of Madrid...but it is indeed warmer than Madrid (especially in the winter) due to its location on the Med.

It was not the Happy Tap...it was JR's and I went there numerous times in the 1980's. Totally different location and on the riverfront. It preceded the Happy Tap and was a much better and busier club with Toronto and Montreal talent rotating through regularly. Oh....the good old days.

Ah yes...our former poster from California who claimed he was a retired medical doctor. I never really believed he was a medical professional. He dished out such dodgy medical advice on Mpox and COVID...it was scandalous. Anyway, I got the Mpox vaccine early on when it first appeared and I highly recommend it. I had no side-affects.

Further to this, I see on the Stock website they have a video of him dancing at the club on Febuary 16th. So he does still dance there.

I took Brightline from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale last week. My Premium ticket cost $32. A Premium Class ticket entitles you to an Uber ride to your departing station and from your arriving station (I think there is a five mile limit for each segment). I made use of Uber on both ends with the costs being fully covered by Brightline. According to their calculations, the Uber costs were just over $30. If this is accurate, that means my resulting train fare in Premium Class was $2. BTW, the Premium ticket entitled me to an alcoholic beverage and a small snack (potato chips and a candy bar). I declined both but I could have had them if I wanted. How is Brightline making any money? I'd be interested in seeing their financials. Who is funding this project? FWIW, the train seemed only about 10% full on this segment. After Lauderdale, my train was stopping in Palm Beach and then Orlando. This was my 4th time on Brightline and none of the trips have been very full. I hope they can make a go of this...but I really wonder.
