It was a lovely stripper Thanksgiving last night. Here's my personal miracle: I met two guys from India who had resided in Houston. Those two demographics are not, in the most general terms, the happiest with Portland levels of contact, to put it politely. But these two were just completely lovely customers.

The owner's son turned 18 yesterday and spent a couple of hours in the DJ booth and being shown around the club and given free dances by a couple of girls. He's still in highschool. I bet all the boys want to hang out at his house.

The owner's friends were also in the club, and this means -- Arabic music! And lots of it, since they'll tip us $20-$100 on stage for dancing to it and god knows what to the DJ for playing it. I swear there was a good solid 10 songs of it before he threw in some hip-hop for balance.

The turkey dinner was even decent, and several club regulars stopped in; all in all, a lovely stripclub holiday.
