Saturday night the strip joints were pretty full, wider selection than usual but nothing that grabbed my attention between F2, San Diego and the Centro spots.
Street action was DEAD. It has been pretty dead since the end of August, that last Friday was super busy but the last nine nights have been very slow. Unusual for Saturdays to be so down, tonight was very empty.
I met what one might describe as a semi pro (for me, it's a threshold matter, sex for money=pro) , a universitaria who is 24 with no kids. I had just about given up when I stumbled onto her. Nice attitude, very permissive, cool for some cheap sleazy unexpected fun.
One note is that La Manzana is CLOSED. I have a friend who worked there, she had told me that they closed for a three nights in a row but were expected to re-open. Something vague about the owner being at a finca and then some other issue. Well, I don't know if it ever reopened but my guess is no. I saw her today and she told me it closed. A cabbie confirmed this as well. The same owners have Los Gordos, which is still open for business. I don't know if it took over the Manzana schedule opening at 11ish, but at any rate no one is really there until 2 or so in the morning.
Same cabbie gave me a rec for a massage place on El Palo. Surprisingly this guy had decent taste, so maybe it's worth checking out. I will let you know, it may already be on the list but either way I will update with info on the lineup and stuff next week.
