I can’t tell you how many guys said that to me last night.
Not really. My club is by the airport. The majority of the customers are traveling businessmen staying at the Airport Hilton/Mariott/DoubleTree and don’t want to sit alone in their rooms.
Last night I saw my old friend Heath, he’s a real estate developer here in town. In his own words, he’s “pretty bored since he sold off all his properties in 2005.” Smart guy, lots of money, nothing better to do since his divorce.
Then I met Dr. Gary the radiologist. His flight from Newark landed late and he wanted to chill out at CC before driving home. “So you must meet a lot of weirdos in here” he asked.
“Probably not as many as you see in the emergency room.” I responded.
Gary laughed and said, “You’d be surprised how many different objects people like to put into their orifices and then end up in ER when they can’t get them out:gerbils, hamsters, matchbox cars. I even had one tragic fatality because some guy went to a gas station in the middle of the night, decided the pressurized air pump for your tires would feel good, uh…up there…and perforated his bowel.”
“Wow! You’re like a walking Grey’s Anatomy episode!” I said. I hung out with Dr. Gary in VIP for half an hour.
At the end of the night I met Dan from Chicago. “I’m a venture capitalist.” he said.
“Oh, like Wedding Crashers?” I joked.
“Yeah, but I invest in better things than maple syrup.” I pegged Dan as a non-buyer in the first 3 minutes of conversation. His two buddies dragged him in. He’d never been to a strip club before and hasn’t drank in 22 years. So I didn’t sell Dan a lapdance. I didn’t even make a dollar off him or the other two guys with him. They weren’t interested in buying lapdances or champagne at 1 am. They just wanted a place with beer and eyecandy. Nevertheless, I also pegged him as a GREAT networking contact. He may not want a lapdance, but he does own a company with 500 employees that might be interested in another product I sell.
“You must meet a lot of weirdos in here?” he asked.
“Yeah, like presidents of venture capital organizations who are looking for places to sink millions of dollars.” I responded.
We exchanged business cards. I googled Dan when I got home. He is who he says he is. Have I ever mentioned before that the strip club is a great place to network?
