    mean and laugh at me for leaving my mask on - perhaps once more people are vaccinated, I'll be more comfortable, but for now I'll feel better taking the precaution.

    Looking forward to stepping out of the shower at Inndulge next April to the realization, the whole last year has been a dream(nightmare) sequence ala "Dallas" 1986!

    Not a closure, but a change of ownership - Portland's Stag has a new owner, from outside the country. Once Oregon loosens up our Covid rrestrictions, the owner and his local business partner are planning on expanding the space, and changing the focus of the talent. Away from the alt-mixed style to more of a "male revue" style experience. It will be interesting to see how this all fleshes out, so to speak.

    + pdxleo got a reaction from NikoLeto in Reopenings- St Louis Boxers n Briefs   
    This week I was working in Missouri, and once finished the plan was to spend a couple days with a friend in southern MO before coming back to OR over the weekend. Leaving the work site, I texted my friend to check in, and found out that he was in the hospital with a broken leg, and therefore unable to entertain visiting gentlemen callers- too bad. Since I was already in central MO, I told him I'd head on down to Poplar Bluff so we could at least have a visit in person. While chatting he mentioned that the Illinois casinos were opening again, and Boxers n Briefs was due to reopen this weekend too. I said I was heading up there to fly home, and would he mind if I headed up there early and check things out, he said no ( he worked there until a year ago) so that's just what I did.
     
    I wasn't expecting to have anything open during this trip, and had some trepidation about a large indoor crowd. I decided that, since my plans were already shot, I'd play it by ear, and if it felt unsafe, I'd turn around and walk out. So, I drove out to East St Louis. First thing on my arrival, saw about 20 cars in the parking lot, a bad sign to me. Social distancing, mebbe not. Went up to the door, checking out the inside- virtually empty. Turns out there was a private swingers party going on in the curtained area next to the stage- there were only a few bar/stripper customers. Friday night cover of $10, and I'm in the door.
     
    First surprise- tho I had a mask, the manager said it was my choice to wear it or not. All the staff had masks; dancers, bartender, manager, owner. Of the half dozen customers, I was the only one masked, an the private party group had no masks also. They had rearranged the tables to provide distancing- instead of sitting up against the bar or the stage, a row of tables was placed next to the bar, and a second row of tables were set up, with chairs set at every other table- providing a comfortable distance between patrons and dancers. Under the circumstances, this seemed pretty effective at spacing, put me at ease that they had put some thought into the arrangement. Unfortunately, not sitting up at the bar means the you have to go stand in line for your drinks- a one-way maze with spacing marks on the floor to go up to the bar station to get drinks. Clear shields in the maze and at the bar kept order. However, if the place were more full, getting drinks may get problematic. As in the past, drinks are no bargain, $6.50 for a bottle of been, but there were specials listed on the bar board.
     
    I was not surprised that none of the familiar faces were dancing on Friday night. With it being first night back, there were a half-dozen dances. Talking with them, it seems most had been relatively new hires over the last winter, and laid off in March when things shut. The guys were young, thin twink types, only one being over 23 it seemed. They were expecting some returnees over the next week, but frankly the number of customers would not have supported many more dancers.
    As I said, twink was the word of the night, not any muscle, all Caucasian boys. The routine was unchanged- a fifteen-minute all nude dance on the bar or stage, then work the room till next time up. The lap dance areas and private room were also unchanged, except that both the dancer and client were required to be fully masked the whole time in back, and had to lather up with hand sanitizer before going back and upon leaving the booth/private room. Costs were unchanged- $75 for 15 mins lap dance, $200 for 15 mins private room.
     
    The guys - while its initially weird watching nekkid guys with their faces covered, you get used to it soon enough.You can't really get close enough to have a conversation, and the mask makes ever harder for us senior citizens, but they're to be watched and tipped, and they find a way to get a foot close enough to you to get the ones and fives in the sock. Two of the guys were standouts in my book- Liam is a blond somewhat-muscled Texan with an ass that was well-formed, and completely hairless ( yes I checked every crack and crevice ), said he'd done some porn in the past and was friends with Brent Corrigan. Interesting conversation and an inspired, athletic lap dance. It's possible he may have been working at Tin Room in Dallas in the past, he seemed oddly familiar to me. My top star of the night was Spencer, an 18 year old thin (28 inch waist) dark-haired chocolate eyed beauty. Friendly and intelligent, he made himself my favorite by remembering the points of conversation after working the room and coming back to chat me up some more. A truly inspired lap dance- I maybe fell a wee bit in lust with this charmer- but yes, he's young enough to be my grandson! There's also a curly- haired blond with a furry bubble but and biggest dick of the night, and one kid who looked to be 15 years old- I'm sure he was legal, but that was hands-off for me!
     
    I left at 11:30 - early flight and all. By then there were about 15 customers, might have had room to fit eight to ten more, that's about all. For only a days notice, this was a good experience, but since I'm no longer doing on-site training trips, I'll probably not be returning- if you're already in the area, its worth going across the river, but its not enough on its own for a destination. I wish Bob and the guys the best of luck in keeping the place open, would be a shame to lose this "asset" to the male stripper community

    There was really no question about it - eldest son of the eldest son, of the eldest son of the eldest son- Leonard the fourth - plus my mom's mom was Lena! My son's Matt -put an end to that tradition, but if I had to change my own name, Ian would be my choice.

    Rumor has it that Mar-a-Lago members are leaving by the dozen. Save your millions, wait for bankruptcy and buy it! Turn it into a GLBTQ friendly resort. I will be your first customer! Just please confirm that you had the place fumigated and sanitized!

    I'm sure that, if you ask, you can be refunded your subscription fees for the period in question.... oh, wait, that's right, we are all enjoying "gratis" the efforts of the gents who put their time and efforts into keeping this merry band of nitwits glued to their laptops, instead of running loose on the streets, causing social mayhem, etc. Cut 'em some slack, mate!!!
