I had forgotten the pandas were on loan; I guess the bloom's now off that rose of friendship. I've seen them several times in DC and always found them both adorable as well as perpetually indolent, making them role models as I've grown older. If the National Zoo would upgrade the menu from bamboo to lasagna and Laphroaig, I might be willing to take their place on weekends. In a tux, of course, to maintain the color palette. 

Fair point, but I think that risk exists in almost any rental situation unless you are seeing someone you already know. My building records all visitors, and the cameras are quite evident to folks as they walk into the foyer and enter the elevator. In NYC at least, many providers live in less desirable parts of town, so I think the risk is greater when one is entering one of these dwellings while likely carrying a large amount of cash. 

True story - I had a regular I would see in East Harlem. One time I got into the elevator with a woman who, without asking, immediately pushed the button for the floor to which I was headed. I smiled and asked her "how did you know?"  In an unfriendly tone, she replied "there's only one reason men like you come into my building, and he's on the 16th floor." 

Jobs numbers this week were below expectations.  Payrolls generally seen to be under control.  As ICTJOCK says, the economy is still buzzing.  Inflation is much lower than one year ago so the trend line is good.  I would say things are pretty darn good economically.  

I visited Montreal over Halloween weekend and went to Campus Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Usually got there after 10. Thursday night was a little slow (it was raining off and on), but Friday and Saturday were really busy.
Mathieu / Matthew
Handsome, hairy, muscular bearded guy. Agree with another post that he is really big and beefy. Hairy all over in a good way, I especially liked his hairy chest and torso. He's friendly when approaching you and is willing to chat a bit and not pushy about lap dances. I did have a dance with him, and he took everything off by the middle of the first song and it got better from there. It was really hot. Unlike the rest of the dancers who wore tight boxer brief style underwear, he wore blue bikini cut briefs which really showed off his dick, ass and thick hairy thighs.
Max
Dark hair, clean shaven, muscular with shoulder and chest tattoos. Wore a black NY Yankees baseball cap. I was standing at the raised area in front of the pool table behind the drink ledge, and Max stood in front of me just one step down. He was standing so close, and I couldn't stop staring at the muscles of his broad back and his handsome profile. I got a lap dance, and it was great, very slow and sensual.
Damon
He's a tall blond guy, clean shaven, no tattoos. I chatted with him a few times, and he seems really nice and friendly. He's from Quebec but could pass as a corn fed Midwestern guy. His bright green boxer briefs looked really great on him, and it showed off his big dick.
Sam
Muscular, bearded with a very hairy chest. Also had a dance with him. The first thing he did was pull my legs towards him so I was in a bit more of a reclining angle. That was unexpected but also hot. It seemed to help him maintain body contact, so that was all good with me. I liked brushing my face against his hairy chest and squeezing his muscular ass and feeling his strong arms. As was mentioned in another post he has an OnlyFans. 
Alex
Muscular, smooth body. He has a handsome face with stubble. Wore a Blue Jays cap. Very friendly, personable and chatty. Beautiful XL dick. In the back his light kisses and hot breaths on my neck made me delirious. He'd also kiss closer and closer to my mouth which was so hot, and I liked how his stubble felt against my face. At one point in the dance he was straddling me facing away, and he bends forward. So he's in my lap grinding against me, and I have full view of his muscular back tapering down to his tight waist and sweet ass. Also his skin is so soft and felt so smooth over his muscled chest, arms and back.
Valentino
I think he's gorgeous, I could stare him all day. He has a few more tattoos on his arms and a small one on his neck since the last time I saw him. His arms, shoulders, chest and ass look bigger and his abs are more lean and cut. Stage performances were great with a lot of fast acrobatic dance moves. Sexy all around, but his second dance where he shows his hard dick just makes my mouth water.
Mossimo
Very tightly muscular so more on the lean side rather than beefy. He has a lot of tattoos. His second dance he reveals a dick that's really long and hard that sticks straight out.
Zayne
Handsome young blond guy. Looked great from when I saw him before, but he also looks like he's put on more muscle. I think he was only there on Friday night, but he was very popular.
Chuck Conrad
I didn't know who he was at first, but he looked familiar (he's one of the porn stars mentioned on the Campus website). Big hairy chested guy with a long beard. He was there on Saturday, and did a 2 set on stage. 
So that's the short list that I can remember, but there were plenty of other great looking guys there. Campus seems to have a lot of regular dancers and also a solid group who rotate in. Over the course of three nights there were probably over 20+ guys (maybe more) who danced and/or worked the floor.
Overall the trip was great fun. Guys were hot and the lap dances memorable. Already thinking about when to plan my next visit.

Gay dancers can and do say the same at times. While plenty of straight dancers let you do all of that. 

Straight, wiggle, and cash are very important words.

I predict a Rolling Stones farewell tour in 2024!

What does that even mean??  There should be higher unemployment?  That's a good thing?

Are you serious?  Things are NOT "darn good economically"!   People are drowning in debt trying to maintain their standard of living from this inflation that you seem to think doesn't even exist. 

Jobs numbers this week were below expectations.  Payrolls generally seen to be under control.  As ICTJOCK says, the economy is still buzzing.  Inflation is much lower than one year ago so the trend line is good.  I would say things are pretty darn good economically.  

You can say that again!  And it's not just a problem in Vegas.  Everywhere you go these days, service sucks countrywide:  on planes, in hotels, at restaurants, and in stores.  There is zero sense of customer service...even at higher end businesses.  It's a sad commentary on life in the USA today.

Funny Girl was doing very badly before they stunt cast Lea Michele.  A brilliant move that paid producers back.
They also celeb cast the Music Man revival.  The reviews of the show in the trades weren't exactly kind, but audiences ate it up.  Hugh Jackman is box office gold.
Audiences aren't shying away from shows with issues (Kimberly Akimbo, Merrily, Good Night Oscar, etc), but they always show up to musicals with big names.  
Plenty of other musicals that were splashy and shiny closed (NYNY, Once Upon a One More Time, Camelot, Dancin', Bad Cinderella).
Bottom line, there's the NYC audiences and then there are the tourists.  The Manhattan audiences can't keep a show open single handedly, so it's up to the whims of tourists to fill in the sizable gap.  This usually includes seeing someone 'famous' performing live in a currently running show.
@Marc in Calif is correct that producers are shying away from the smaller shows, as many of their larger show investments aren't paying back as quickly (or at all).  As per the usual, Broadway producers have a few big hits that allow them to invest in the artistic risks.  With theater rents going up and production budgets at an all time high ($15+ million for a new, small musical), I can't blame them for investing in splashy names.

That 25% is spread out over the life of the contract.  Barely keeps up with inflation unfortunately.  This inflation has wrecked the country.  

When the escort lists the languages he can "speak" he often is simply telling you in what languages he can say "hello" and "good-bye,"  and quote his rates.

Three hundred fifty dollars!!
Massages are fast transitioning from a hobby to an occasional treat for me.
Thankfully, my libido has aged along with my body.  😆

No it’s not bad at all. You won’t even smell it. Ya’ll are too high strung. 

Yes, I view it just as bad. 

I found @unicorn to be very confrontational and will not miss his acerbic and dismissive attitude. In my view he had some unattractive attributes in other respects as well. But each to his own.

By the looks of it, there are plenty of tickets available so no danger in 'waiting it out'. 

Thanks.  I guess I'll wait on buying tickets for one of the US gigs until I see what the reworked show looks like...if it gets reworked.  

CDAN is usually correct in what it reports. This report came out last week, so the info is very new - and it is saying she is currently redesigning the tour to shorten it - so who knows how soon it will be finalized, and go into effect. Maybe it will not change  until after she finishes the European leg of her tour , and she heads to the states in the new year? Something to keep an eye on if someone is planning on going after the new year, I would think. I'd be surprised if CDAN was wrong on this one.
Aside from that, I'm surprised that tickets have not sold out at most of her North American tour, yet (especially with Christmas just two months away - no one's interested in buying tickets for Christmas gifts?) . To me, that may be a strong indication that the tour will be redesigned and scaling back. 

Now I am also concerned about another of my favorite forum members: @Lookin
His last login was on September 13th. I hope you are well! I miss your wisdom!
