How to Visit the Strip Club, part 1

When I wrote about the Bachelor party in my previous post I got some great positive feedback. It seems like there are a lot of guys who just didn’t know. They didn’t think about that stuff. I guess if you haven’t been married three times you don’t learn from your mistakes. I mean Ideally you only want to have one bachelor party but in 2013 the odds of that are against you. Yes the fifteen years behind the wheel helped me learn the dos and don’ts. Personally I’ve probably spent ten thousand hours in clubs over the years. I’ve worked in strip clubs, I’ve drank in strip clubs, I’ve dated strippers. It’s odd. When you work in nightlife you don’t meet normal women. When you do meet normal women they commonly leave skid marks when they leave. When you can’t make plans on the weekends because you are always working. When you can’t go to a club or a bar anywhere and not see people you’ve known and worked with. Well, some women don’t like that. Mostly normal women but I digress. The fi...

Web page ideas

My name is Ross Winn and I write. When I first started writing I wrote for myself, and for my roleplaying games. Then I wrote for other people’s roleplaying games. Then I wrote a column about RPGs. Then I was going to write and publish my own RPG. Then in 2008 things went south. My business was failing, my attention was too many places, and my options were limited. I had never thought seriously about making a living in RPGs. It was, as my friend called it a self-supporting hobby. When my primary business went south I had to focus, drop all of my side projects, and that included even taking time for playing any RPGs. I was sad, but I had to eat, and so did my son. In 2011 things were getting better. I had written a Livejournal ( http://ross-winn.livejournal.com/ ) for some time. I had a Blogger account ( http://reformedcyberpunk.blogspot.com/ ), and I had the urge to write, but the urge to play was gone. I decided to try my hand at fiction, and so one day I started writing down a...

The Bachelor Party

I’ve been driving a limousine as a part time job, a full time job, and a hobby for almost fifteen years. I’ve driven rock stars, actors, athletes, and billionaires. The sexiest person I’ve ever driven was probably Kelly Preston, the most fun was definitely Dmitri Young. I’ve driven hundreds of people, and in my entire experience only about a dozen people have ever gotten the bachelor party correct. Bachelor parties are one of the more archaic rituals in the American lexicon. In other countries they are called Stag parties, Buck parties, or some other testosterone fueled celebration of a man’s “last night of freedom” before entering into marriage. This event is usually planned by the best man, though if he lives in a remote location he might cede this right to another of the groom’s friends. Being local is important, but not essential. As a point of explanation, let me tell you about how a bachelor party can go wrong. One of the bachelor’s friends rents a van and everyone drives...
