OWJones 1,981 Posted April 18, 2015 I lived in Indianapolis for 21 years before moving to Iowa. If you need suggestions on good restaurants or strip clubs, I can help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted April 18, 2015 Nothing like checking out what available for our industry then cool off with a beer and stripping women lol. I doubt I will need that due to I think my wallet, and bank accounts will be empty by the first day of the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted April 19, 2015 I used to date a stripper in Indy (not something I recommend, BTW) - she was working at Dancer's West when I met her (http://www.dancersshowclub.com/) and then went to work at Brad's Gold Club (http://www.bradsbrassflamingo.com/). Dancers has the prettier girls and surprisingly great food and Brad's has the slightly trashier girls and much looser rules about behavior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
