As Woody Allen joked in Annie Hall: "I had dated a woman briefly in the Eisenhower administration, and it was ironic to me because I was trying to do to her what Eisenhower had been doing to the country for the last eight years."

If memory serves, the only time I asked an sp to "dress up" it was ... jeans and a t-shirt!

Have you ever heard/seen Godspeed You! Black Emperor? Creative, unusual, and frequently mesmerizing stuff. They're often identified as a Montreal band and have a couple shows in town next month. (You probably knew all this....)

This has been discussed ad nauseam out here for over a decade, and it never goes well. A simple search should find multiple threads on the topic.

You just never know where this thread is going ...

This is most likely easier done with an indy than an agency.

Neat. I've known a couple synesthetes, and of course many artists experience the world that way. What form does your take? (One of my friends had "chromesthesia," the overlapping of sound and color.) Are there certain kinds of music that are especially pleasurable?

I don't now you but you've taken a deep dive into the "demimonde," and it seems to me that taking a break and catching your breath might be a good thing. 600 escorts before you're 30 is a lot. You're still quite young and it sounds like the hobby is what you've known for the last decade. Getting...

Perhaps you could say a bit more about what you're going through? Are you experiencing ethical reservations about your participation in the hobby? Is your "born again moment" a spiritual or religious awakening? Or are you thinking that you might have saved your money and sought out a long-term...

I would never ask that kind of personal question. Even the thought of it makes me uncomfortable. That said, unlike some others out here I'm not interested in fantasy but in reality so I enjoy chatting with SPs about our lives. I know how to protect my anonymity and I assume she does as well...

"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Or in this case, "Forget it, @Sky_rocket. It's the hobby." I don't see much point in speculating. This stuff happens all the time. Move on!

@Dave in Phoenix and @Doc Holliday: thank you both for these remarkable "insider" histories. Fascinating. I was active on TER and, to a lesser degree, the Big Doggie from about 2000 to 2007 or so. (Since then I've mostly stuck to Montreal.) The local boards on TER weren't anywhere near as active...

It's all relative and 14/15 sounds like a lot to me. And, if I'm reading you right, you've seen her almost exclusively for the last three years. I don't blame you for being thrown. I'm with @MCTJ -- I'd be feeling the same or worse as well.

Right. I find it frustrating when I'm pressured to tip for everything, regardless of the quality of service, and I also find it troubling that companies underpay employees while assuming that wages will be made up by tipping. None of that is fair to the customer or to the worker. But in a...

A positive, generous response!

You're planning on three sessions/day for three days? Respect. I'd say it comes down to your budget. If you can afford 90-120 minutes @, then do that. You can always cut it short and rest up for the next visit or use the time to eat your Wheaties. I would worry that a series of short bookings...

And now for something completely different, one of the most beautiful punk songs ever written. Really, one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Do you Skynyrd fans know the astonishing Drive By Truckers album called "Southern Rock Opera"? Released in 2001, it's a ferocious tribute to the music that Skynyrd and others put out in the 70s.

For my first five or so years in the hobby, I only did one-hour visits. On a trip to Chicago, many years ago now, I decided to splurge and try two hours. It changed my life. The lady was a pro in the best sense and we spent the two hours in non-stop pleasurable abandon, wet and wild; we went...

That's my memory as well.
