Obsidian in Tampa

Did anyone attend Obsidian in Tampa on Monday? Would love to hear a report of the event (on a Monday!!!). I hope it went well for a new event…

I think this is the second time Juan (muscle bartender from Johnsons) put on this fully nude show.   Need to hear from anyone who attended.

Missed seeing that. Would have LOVED to have been there.

Hope someone reports.  Juan is first class, so this probably was a success.    Man, I would go to see Juan nude!

Gotta start following Juan

Yeah .. I search for him on Instagram. If that fails, I'll just go see him at Johnson's.

I had a good time. There were at least 16 dancers, performing nude on stage 2 at a time. A couple dancers didn't take it all off, but most did. When not on stage, the dancers roamed the room in various stages of undress (as well as various stages of excitement) to entertain and collect tips. There were body types for just about every taste, I think. Many appealed to me, but as a frequent customer at Johnsons I knew most of them already. 
It was good to see former bartender David back behind the bar for the night as well as former dancer Jordan who also served drinks. DJ Lucian was back to keep the music going.
I wasn't crazy about the lap dance area, a room across the hall from the party room. There were no dividers, so all participants were in open view of everyone else. However, whether it was the alcohol I had consumed, the layout of the seating, or the hot Latino dancing nude up against me, I really didn't notice anything else in the world, um room while I was in there. 

Tickets were a little pricey, but there was ample free parking, and an open bar. Plus, as far as I know it's the only event in the state for gay men with nude male dancers. (Note:  There were a few female customers in attendance, but less than at the first Obsidian event. No annoying behavior from any of them that I noticed.) I was there about 4 hours and had my personal limit of alcohol, so I didn't mind the price. There was a good-sized crowd, but due to the difference in layout from the previous Obsidian location it was hard to compare crowd sizes. Juan said the turnout was pretty close though. Hopefully there will be an Obsidian III.

Question? Do they have a email list? Or is it just IG? How does one find out about this to attend?

Juan basically tells the regulars who come into Johnson’s and posts it on his IG.
