ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL NIGHT AT THE FIGHTS


Well antoher day to feel great about our new fight club, it's GREAT!! Last night was only the second time we were open and we increased our capacity, last time was our first time and we had alot of people and last night was more ! Thats a big increase to me ..if we do that every week, then by the end of this summer I anticipate a housefull of people in the club at one time to enjoy the beatings! I think this is the best fighting set up the Quad Cities has ever had. I've followed this same ring around town for over 10 years or so , bar to bar , club to club , basically its always been in a small bars, the exception was Stars n Stripes were the action was super duper, hell that was one of the greatest places I ever drank in the Quad Cities. Now the tide had turned and even though we are not a bar , we are a BYOB so its just as fun if not more because we have more fights - quicker, without having to feed the ring from the door and the keep the place dragging along until 2 am to make sure the bar made its money , our fights basically go from 9 - 9:30 until main event time at 12 midnight, every one can still make it to work and our placeis big enought that the fighters dont really have to breathe alot of smoke , so all in all this is the future of all fighting in the Quad Cities.

DRINK & OGLE THE DANCERS


It's worth noting that the whole idea of a strip club and I have a rather love-hate relationships. I think that Mr. Tea has it right when he explains that there are really only four things to do at a strip club:
- Ogle the dancers- Drink- Ogle the dancers while they are very close to you (i.e., a lap dance)- Drink- Ogle the dancers while they are very close to you for a longer period of time (i.e., the champagne room)- Drink
Okay, so actually, there are six things to do, which really come down to just two things: Drink and ogle.

STRANGE NEWS ~ CAN"T GIVE IT AWAY

Mike Gasperec just learned the hard way that supposedly hang-up-free San Francisco and the Bible Belt have one thing in common: They're tough places to give away a strip club's money.Four nonprofit organizations representing San Francisco's homeless, poor and cancer-stricken turned down a $4,330 gift from Gasperec's Penthouse Grille and Broadway Showgirls Cabaret topless club in North Beach over the past several weeks, saying they have reputations to protect.Gasperec, the club's general manager, was surprised how hard it is to find someone to take the proceeds from a $195-per-person golf tournament the club had sponsored -- particularly in a town where the S&M-themed Folsom Street Fair is nearly a civic holiday."I don't know what's wrong. I have a good life, and we're just trying to give a little something back," said Gasperec, a husband and father of a young daughter. He felt the same charitable rejection when he worked at strip clubs in South Carolina and Florida. "Our money is green."It wasn't the color of the cash that spooked organizations, it was the specter of flesh. Even though California's budget deficits and shrinking foundation portfolios are forcing nonprofits to scrounge harder for cash, some preferred to refuse the free money and avoid any potential hassle."Unfortunately, we had to decline," said Julie Homan of the Breast Cancer Fund. "They were really nice and everything, but we didn't want to be associated with a gentlemen's club. We have 70,000 members, and we didn't want to offend anyone."Raphael House, which provides shelter and after-care for homeless families, declined because, as a "clean-and-sober facility," it didn't want its name associated with an event where alcohol was served. "It was a very hard choice," said Development Director Jo-Ellen Peterson. "But we have a really good reputation in San Francisco, so we have to be very careful."The Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corp., which owns and manages 21 buildings in one of the city's most downtrodden neighborhoods, also said no, thanks.'A reputation to keep up'The group declined "because of the nature of the (gentlemen's club) business," spokesman Terry Sellards said. "Some people had a problem with that,because they feel that (the adult entertainment) business exploits women."We've got a reputation to keep up," Sellards said.The Hamilton Family Center, which provides emergency services and shelter to 350 homeless families every night in San Francisco, turned down the cash because "it didn't quite mix well with what we do here," said Executive Director Salvador Menjivar. "We have a lot of children here."Even the Novato golf club that originally agreed to host the tournament backed out. The strip club finally held the fund-raiser Oct. 12 at an Oakland public golf course.Fielding all that rejection "makes you feel like a schmuck," said Joe Carouba, president of BSC Management, which runs 12 strip clubs in San Francisco, including Broadway Showgirls.Many dancers are mothersAbout 40 percent of the 700 dancers at BSC clubs are mothers, and many of those mothers are raising families on their own, Carouba said. So he and Gasperec said they wanted to contribute to an organization that helps women and children in need.But being spurned by charities, it turns out, is common in the stripping business.From a Miami cancer center that refused to take proceeds from a stripper- led car wash in 1997, to a Wisconsin children's theater refusing cash from the fully clothed Hooters chain last year, history is full of organizations that have left money on the table.Last week, three Southern California exotic-dance clubs were told that the Red Cross wouldn't accept their $5,484 pledge for victims of last month's wildfires. The Salvation Army took it instead.And strip-club officials say the San Francisco firefighters' annual toy drive was initially a bit leery about publicly acknowledging that the city's least-clothed dancers donated $10,000 to its campaign last year -- and have done so for at least five years.The donations come from lap dances in the clubs, where performers donate money every holiday season to the 54-year-old toy drive. Once or twice a night,the DJ announces that some of the proceeds from the next dance will go toward a good cause and that patrons should dig into their pockets."The nice thing about our program is, the money comes in from all kinds of sources," said Dennis Kruger, a board member for the firefighters' toy drive. "Then we buy the toys and tell the kids it's from Santa."Regardless of what some people think of what people do for a living, the important thing is that all this money goes for the kids," Kruger said.The upside of stripper rejection is that when one organization declines a gentlemen's club offer, the door of opportunity offers for others to claim the loot.The big winner in this tale is Ruth Dewson, owner of a Fillmore Street hat store where San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown shops. Not only did Dewson accept the Broadway Showgirls check for her charitable foundation for Western Addition girls, Dewson put the club's oversize check in her store window."When they told me that people wouldn't accept the money, I couldn't believe it," Dewson said. "I don't care what they do.

MIDWEST KINGS OF THE RING






Last night was the inaugural night for the big show. The fight club was officially opened last night , in which there was a great turnout for the very first night.I was ready for fight night since about 5:30 pm, the night was lasting forever while waiting for the crowd , the fighters ,security etc. At about 8:15 came our referee professional MMA fighter Joe Jordan, he walked in and didn't seem to be worried that there wasn't anyone there yet, but people were starting to call on the phones, when is it ? I heard .. it's tonight 9 to 11 pm, hmm I thought it was advertised for 8 to 12 midnight, there's why the crowd isn't here yet ,,,, not 10 minutes later people just appeared out of nowhere, old people , young people, guys and girls. Awesome , I think were going to be ok now. By 9:45 the place all ready had more of a crowd than expected, for the first night in a place nobody had ever been before and a place where some were skeptical, because its located in the same place as our parent club, The Amsterdam GC.
The rest of the as they say was history , we had about 10 great fights , including MMA bouts, boxing, challenge match, and sumo suit fighting!UFC fighter TIM SYLVIA showed up and the crowd cheered heartily, not 20 minutes later UFC LEGEND AND 8 TIME WORLD CHAMPION MATT HUGHES shows up !! The crowd went nuts ! This is what I was waiting for , my excitement for the event I had organized and was running, had all come together, I saw our ring owner and partner MONTE COX and could hardly wait to get over to him and tell him , I think we have something here! he said ya I think this is going to be good.
I am so excited I can hardly wait until next week for event number 2 of a long line of events in our fight club.Plans are being made to get this televised on IPBN TV, we have radio spots, fliers , newspapers , posters, it's all out there now , after this great first night , by the end of summer we will be packed.I am just so pumped I don't know what else to say right now , I'm so happy !!

GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH


A man is driving with his young son, when they pass a billboard for a Gentlemen's Club.
From the back seat, he hears words that he dreaded upon seeing the sign,

"Daddy, what's a Gentlemen's Club?"

Thinking for a second, he replies, "Well son, aside from the circus, it's the greatest show on Earth."

The son follows up with, "You mean they have elephants there?"

"Only on the day shift." he replies.

UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT ATTENDANT


Normally I don't think Gay guy jokes would be good thing to put
on the Amsterdam gentlemen's Club blogspot, but for this one
I'll have to make the exception.....

A United Airway's passenger jet was being served by an
obviously Gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone
into a good mood as he served them food and drinks.

As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the
aisle and announced to the passengers: "Captain Marvey has
asked me to announceThat he'll be landing the big scary plane
shortly, lovely people, so if you could just put up your trays, that
would be super."

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed that a well-dressed
rather exotic looking woman hadn't moved a muscle.

"Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines." he
said, I asked you to raise your trazy-poo so the main man can
pitty-pat us on the ground."

She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called
a Princess. I take orders from no one."

To which the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat,
"Well sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I
outrank you.

" Tray-up bitch! "

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A STRIP DJ CLUB WHEN...



...You hear a song and you know exactly when 3:30 min has gone by

…You can get virtually anything done in 3:30, including smoke a cigerette or goto the bathroom.

...You hear a song and say "this is (stage name)'s song"

...You pay all your bills in ones

...Your music collection costs more than the car you drive

...You see a girl in sweat pants with no makup on and hair in curlers and you think HOT!

...Your're the only guy you know that knows pole tricks

...Normal hot girls in regular bars don't phase you cause you are now immune.

...You have performed a String check for a girl

...When you talk on the phone you sound like you're on a microphone

....You have been mobbed by "boob sweat"

...You have walked into a dressing room full of naked girls to collect money and were anxious to get it over with cause you wanted to go home

...You've refered to a DJ booth as your "office"

...You've wished your "office" had a lock on it so women couldn't talk to you

...Your other bartender friends shutter when you tip them cause they wonder were the money has acutally been.

....You review songs on wether you are allowed to play them or not

....Your're a "cash only" kinda guy

...you can randomly flip the radio dial and know the who/what/and what track # of every damn song

….You've mastered the art of pretending to listen intently to a strippers bitching about personal problems with deadbeat boyfriends, money problems etc...

... And you know better than to ask a stripper how things are going for her because that's just asking for the bitching, complaining or weeping

…You play games like "Does she strip or not?" at the mall or "Name that drug!" on girls at work who are obviously high.

THE MOST POPULAR STRIP CLUB JOKE .

Because Dave works hard at the plant and spends most evenings bowling or playing basketball at the gym, his wife thinks he is pushing himself too hard, so for his birthday she takes him to a local strip club. The doorman at the club greets them and says, ''Hey, Dave! How ya doin?'' His wife is puzzled and asks if he's been to this club before. ''Oh no,'' says Dave. ''He's on my bowling team.'' When they are seated, a waitress asks Dave if he'd like his usual Budweiser. His wife is becoming uncomfortable and says, ''You must come here a lot for that woman to know you drink Budweiser.'' ''No, honey, she's in the Ladies Bowling League. We share lanes with them.'' A stripper comes over to their table and throws her arms around Dave. ''Hi, Davey,'' she says, ''Want your usual table dance?''Dave's wife, now furious, grabs her purse and storms out of the club. Dave follows and spots her getting into a cab. Before she can slam the door, he jumps in beside her and she starts screaming at him. The cabby turns his head and says, ''Looks like you picked up a real doozie this time, Dave!''
