Mud and Humidity

Last night we rolled into San Jose at about 5pm. We all ran out and did some shopping then went out for pizza. As we were sitting in the pizza place, we could hear some loud dance music coming from next door and decided to check it out. It was a club, and they charged a cover to get in but the price included three drink tickets so we went for it. As we worked our way back into the packed club, we realized that it was a bigger place than we had imagined, but that there was a big, black sheet dividing the room. We sent Tate to investigate (he's the innocent looking one with the glasses in yesterday's photo). He came to report that there were a bunch of women dancing and some men on a balcony. Three of the women, myself included, went to investigate further and found that it was something like the San Jose equivalent of a Chippendale. We couldn't stop laughing. It's apparently a common ploy in clubs here to lure women in and gets them drunk. Eventually the dancing men were replaced by a dancing woman and then everyone got to enjoy the embarrassment. We called it an early night.
