Sports Opening Day!

Posted by on Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 4:13 PM

Dream Girls strip club is all set for its grand opening on Monday, which is also opening day for the Seattle Mariners:

To enjoy the schadenfreude of this photo, remember that the baseball team, um, mounted and blew several legal attempts to prevent the strip club from opening because it would have "adverse impacts repugnant to a family entertainment environment." The most ludicrous legal action, by far, was a pair of lawsuits filed the Mariners and Safeco Field that insisted the strip club must be banned because it was too close to "parks." Those "parks"? The pay-to-enter stadium, a padlocked parking lot, a sidewalk, and even an overpass. Really.

A reliable source says that, all along, the plan was to open the club by opening day, April 12, when the Mariners will play the Oakland A's. There's a press preview tomorrow, but the first day of business (a soft opening or a hard opening?) will be on Friday.

Another season with a prudish team of losers, here we come!

Do advertisers in The Stranger get a news story alongside their paid space?

What's the difference? At either place, you'll blow fifty bucks and leave feeling frustrated.

I wonder how many male city council members will be at the opening?

You'll have to get drunk at the neighboring, more family-oriented, park first.

Ugh. Strip clubs are for losers and douchebags. Not sexy.

Seriously. Titty bars - booze is fucking retarded. I couldn't believe that was the rule when I moved there. Why would anyone ever go to a place like that?

@10, nothing says "family friendly" like $9 beers.

You're kind of my hero, Pissy McSlogbot. Take me out to the labia field, indeed.

Fuck you Milton Bradley! Last play of the game, shot to left field, off the wall, MB didn't even try to get it. Walk off RBI double. His tears nourish me.

I bet the strip club has a better season than the M's.

@12: To each his/her own. Prudishness doesn't do anything for me personally.

Nothing wrong with being a bit prudish,

@24: It's not about prudishness, it's about personality. I'm turned on by deviance, not douchebaggery.
