6/5/2010- i started my "boobs and baseball tour" of the carolinas tonight at a Hickory Crawdads game. I had to make sure i took in my nourishment so i went to the Hooters in Hickory before the game. Hooters are not all the same and i would have to rate this one as a good one and would rate it at a 9.0. i had nice friendly waitress who went out of her way to strike up a conversation with me and since i was by myself i really appreciated it. I had read on the Hickory Crawdads website before i left Charlotte that it was Madison Bumgarner bobblehead night and i didn't think it was a big deal since i had no earthly idea as to who the hell he was. evidently he was a big deal because i got there two and one/half hours early and i was just going to sit in my car and write in my journal. i figured i would be out there by myself but even that early, i was like the 5th car there. i was amazed at the flood of cars that came pouring in there and the line that developed 45 minutes before they opened the gate. i went ahead and bought my ticket but i wasn't about to fry standing in that line in the hot sun. i gave hope of getting a bobblehead because i figured there was no way i was going to be one of the first thousand to get in. i collect a little bit of sports memorabilia but still not a big deal because i did not know who he was. I have always liked L.P. Frans Stadium in Hickory. Its a great place to watch a game. i looked madison bumgarner up on thebaseballcube.com after the game and he is a big deal. a combined record of 27-5 in the minors and already in AAA baseball with the San Francisco Giants. he got in a few innings for them at the tail end of last year. he was a local high school product (south caldwell) and pitched in a different organization and i was impressed that the crawdads would honor him with a bobblehead.
Now for the boobs part of my review. My emphasis in this review will be on the clubs themselves and not really the dancers. i went to Thee Playhouse after the game and i had never been there before. Its easy to find and not too far from the stadium. i walk in and its $12 cover just to get in. that is steeper than most but i paid it and went inside. Its a sizable club with a large central stage that extends from the back wall to well past the center of the main floor with a couple of much smaller stages on the sides with the obligatory stripper poles. They had a bar on the opposite side of the stage and along the far wall. i sat at a table to one side of the stage but in the back row of tables. as in much of everything in life, location is everything and i did not garner much attention throughout the evening but that really wasn't why i was there. the waitresses kept coming by to check on me, and occasionally a dancer would come by. the "lap" dances were $10 (they moved you to a little couch area near the tables for that) and the 2-for 1 extravaganzas were $20 plus a test tube full of something with liquor in it, and regular VIP's were $20 as well. The VIP areas were in plain view of the rest of the club and they were fairly comfortable love seats. they also had a "champagne room" is i believe what they called it and it was a completely separate room that i did not go to. the best thing that thee playhouse had going for it was they had this segment where they did $1 dances (they would play pieces of songs and strippers would rotate after each piece of song) Overall i would rate this club a 7.5 and if i was in the area i would go back again.
Thee Playhouse- Overall Rating 7.5
