Truckstop girls!

Now, at some point I should invest in a decent camera so I can do a better job of tracking all the fun spots, but oh well.  I'll make with what I've got.

So, long story short, I am apparently the gender-swapped version of a fag hag (I hang around lesbians.)  This is relavent because, well, Truck Stop Friday caters primarily to this crowd.  Now, before you get images in your head of a lot of really butch, manly women that are about as attractive as your average garden toad, the bar where this even is hosted happens to cater to attractive femmes.  So while there are a fair share of the ugly, manly women, there are also plenty of less-scary, easier-to-look at women there.  It should be noted that this is only important if prefer the company of non-ugly people.  (I happen to be in that category.)

This event is hosted at Here Lounge, in the heart of Boys Town.  If you don't know what that is... well, check out West Hollywood between Doheny and La Cienega on a Friday or Saturday night and you'll figure it out.  Basically there are 5 (fairly hot) female bartenders who, about once every 20-30 minutes, climb on the bar and dance.  Or let patrons do body shots off of them in exchange for lots of money.  Or give birthday people lapdances.  I was trying to arrange for the birthday lapdance for a friend of mine, but unfortunately said friend flaked on me.  Oh well.

Now, for the straight guys, I wouldn't exactly advise going to this event and expect to pick up girls.  There are guys that do this, but it seems a little out of place.  (Not surprising, since the event and the promoters cater to lesbians.)  Now, if you've got a gender-balanced group of people then I think some fun can be had for everyone.  Guys can certainly be entertained watching the dancers (and watching the hot lesbians make out on the dancefloor.)  And girls can, well, explore.

The music is a mix of 80s/90s rock and current hip-pop.  I always have a soft spot for cheesy 80s rock, so I enjoy it, though your mileage may vary in that regard.

If you're not a gay girl, I wouldn't exactly make it a point to come here every week or anything, but it's still a nice change of pace if you're down for something different.  If you ARE a gay girl and you haven't been, well, get crackin'.  That said, I generally have fun.  The crowd isn't entirely lesbians either, so it's not like you have zero chance of meeting someone cool if you're not a gay girl.

This is a video from last Friday (May 9th):



Yes, I know the audio sucks.  And the video quality kind of sucks too.  But my cell phone is all I've got.  Feel free to donate to the "Get me a handycam or digital camera" fund.
