Part 25: Indianapolis

I left work late on a Friday evening and drove southeast to Indianapolis. I was planning to meet a friend from Ohio, Don, who would be joining me on a trip to South America in February. There were some things that needed to be discussed in person before we met up in Buenos Aires in a few weeks. We would meet up for dinner on Saturday. I finally made it to the Crowne Plaza around 20:00. I checked in and then showered.

I decided to head over to Dancers Show Club around 1am. The club was packed, and I had to sit at the bar to start. Eventually, I moved up to the stage to tip Stella. Eventually two buzzed guys that could not have been older than 21 or 22 sat next to me at the stage. They were at the club with two beautiful young ladies about the same age, presumably their girlfriends. The guys started acting goofy and saying funny things to the dancers. They were rambling nonsensical things to me. There were obviously drunk. One of the girls they were with was an insanely beautiful Hoosier girl. She came over to me and started apologizing for her boyfriend’s drunken behavior in her southern Indiana accent. She was more beautiful than any of the dancers, and her lady friend was pretty good looking too. She would have been quite a treat to take back to the hotel, but I respected the fact that she was in a relationship.

The rest of the night at Dancers was pretty ho-hum, a below average night at DSC. Few of the dancers impressed me, and a lot of their attention went to their regular customers. I closed the club down at 4am and went back to the Crowne Plaza very tired.
