Halloween in Memphis - I can't wait to hit the road tomorrow. My friend Jennifer and I are going to be the Plaster Casters. We're going to rock out at the Oblivians reunion show. Then I'll also be shooting a segment fo Broad Daylight, an upcoming film from director JM McCarthy, whose work I've appeared in previously. If you want to see me on film, get yourself a copy of The Sore Losers or Shine On Sweet Starlet.

I had the most fun on Tuesday talking about books with a guy I met. That's my favorite thing to talk about at work and I don't get to do it often enough. We chatted about sci-fi and detective novels and had a great time.

A group of sorority sisters came in to celebrate a 21st birthday and ended up buying a chair of pain for the birthday girl, getting her up on stage with several of the dancers. After the birthday spanking, the victim usually has to dance for the strippers, but they'd called up all of her friends to administer the birthday spankings and the DJ got all of them to dance. There was one that just pulled her top straight up - she had a beautiful pair, I'd show them off too - and one or two of the others followed suit. It was the best chair of pain ever. Nothing quite like six sorority girls cutting loose on stage at a strip club. I'm pretty sure that Wayne offered the uninhibited one a job on the spot.

There's this girl who dances by Deja, I think, that I remember from the Show Palace a long time ago. She's shown up at XTC lately, and is quite a trip. I am not sure what she's on or what she's up to, but she is really strange. A couple of weeks ago she came in to work and didn't get dressed but went out on the floor in her street clothes and started talking to customers on the floor. At first I thought maybe she was trying to get a beer from someone, but I was talking to one of the waitresses and we couldn't figure out what she was doing. Trying to set up a date for later? Who knows. She showed up last night around 11:30 pm and it looked like she was getting ready to work. Mama-san (she's a Thai woman who fixes costumes and gives massages in the dressing room, sort of a demi housemom) asked her what was going on, why she was there so late. She said, "Oh, I came in early, at like 3:00, and I hustled my ass off. I made $300 in 45 minutes. Then I broke the heel on my boot and I had to leave." Mama-san and I gave each other a look, like, "Sure you made $300 in 45 minutes." She fucked around in the dressing room for a really long time, and when I was getting ready to go home at 1:30 am she was making like she was going out on the floor finally. One of the managers came back, saw her, and said, "What are you doing?" My question exactly, she came back to work, spent two hours in the dressing room and was going to try to work for the 30 minutes before the club closed? Oh well, apparently she could have made $200 in that 30 minutes. Weird girl. I think they need to fire her, she is definitely on something and behaves really strangely.
