ASSC-CON EAST at Wagon Wheel, Baltimore



 Have just a few of hours between flights. Just returned from

 DC and ASSC-CON EAST, next stop: Hawaii.



 Had a GREAT time at the Wagon Wheel. 



 Let's see: DrD, the Bishop, Dave from New York, DunkonYou and 

 three or four lurkers. Great time meeting you guys. Thanks for the

 free beer. DrD, see you at CP in two weeks.

 

 The Wagon Wheel is a great down and dirty strip joint. Quick one song

 sets with audience participation, loud music, liquor everywhere, laps

 everywhere, guys hooting and hollering and drinking all night long.



 It looked like a scene from Sodom and Gomorrah: utter debauchery in every

 direction. Picture about 20 bikini-clad lapdancers writhing at all angles

 on top of men thru out a crowded small club. At both ends of the club are

 small stages with dancers surrounded by bachelor party goers. Loud, fast,

 and fun.



 I got laps from about 10 dancers and the level of lapdance ability was

 very high ( Personal favorites: Tess & Brawney ), higher overall than

 my home club, Chez Paree in San Francisco. Dancers were mostly in the 

 6 - 8 range, friendly, easygoing. ( One dancer did report to us that she 

 had just kicked a grabby customer in the head with her high heels. )

 

 Only downside is the waitresses hitting you up to buy a dancer a drink

 about every 10 minutes ( The dancers each need to sell 12 drinks, else

 they pay the difference. Drinks are $5.25 a piece, non-alcoholic. Most

 of the dancers just order a "regular", i.e., water, and sometimes just

 order a glass of ice )



 This club is worlds apart from ASSC-WEST headquarters, the Chez Paree

 in San Francisco. Overall CP attracts a more subdued, older crowd. WW 

 attracts a younger, louder, and raunchier crowd. At CP the ASSC members

 retire to a nice Italian dinner. At WW everybody is too busy drinking and

 shouting to even think about dinner. At CP the 3 song sets slow time down

 giving one time to talk about the meaning of life with fellow ASSC'ers

 & dancers. At the Wagon Wheel the 1 song sets speed everything up, it's a

 blur of activity. 



 Probably the biggest difference is liquor. At CP customers and dancers

 take breaks from the club to go out and get a drink. At the Wagon Wheel

 there are coolers full of beer, six-packs, bottles of Jim Beam at every

 table. The guys are all drinking, the dancers are all drinking - all

night

 long.  

   

 At Wagon Wheel the lapdances are all out in the open and the dancers are

 in bikinis. I guess the fact that the girls can see what other girls are doing keeps

 the overall lapdance level there quite high. At CP the lapdances are in private

 booths so there is a much wider range of lapdance proficiency. Everything from

 plain boring to unbelievably hot. At the CP one can get full nude lapdances,

 steamy private shows, etc. That's a plus.



 At the CP there is no bouncer "presence", it's too quiet for that. At the

 Wagon Wheel I was relieved that the bouncer ( "Tiny" ) was bigger than

 the young rowdies.  

 

 I would definitely be a regular at the Wagon Wheel if I lived within a state of it.
