8. ANGRY DOORMAN - 2012 afternoon I walked into Internationale, it was different. The girls huddled up by the wall. Some owner bought the club, the same people who owned Rachel's supposedly, the They already owned the shithole Dollhouse directly across the street, but dive could never compete with Cabaret They immediately fired all the dj's. The cute girls there for, half other girls, already gone. It was half empty. The way worked at Cabaret Internationale, was the dj was the point of contact the girls. is the one they would go if they got sick and had to leave is the one they would have to pay their house fee to at the end of the night, only $10 or $15 I remember correctly, tip out they had a good night. This is how it worked Club Madonna, all Italian-owned clubs, at pretty much all the clubs I to maybe Tootsie was too big). was told Cabaret was by an Italian family with like "Canonico" or something. they sold Internationale to the Veigles for north of a million, and still owned a strip club in Cocoa. The the of contact for the strippers supposedly in the early 1990's. A dj named Tony Galeota started recruiting his girls for Playmates Pompano. owners businessmen who know how to get liquor licenses. dj's are they can do things club know what music is popular, sell who knows. There was one dj in particular at Internationale, the main dj, whom the prettier girls were very close to. He was a guy his age, but very square looking and kind of a father figure. I know if he was having with the strippers. He liked the girls so much, guess he did have sex them. What would he be in for? he was gone, and the close to, the girls, I guess quit the same day. never saw of them again. all the gone, I was reduced to in to Cabaret Internationale week to check for girls, the same had at Club Madonna. It is just sit and watch dance without spending any money. it's insulting to do it for 10 or 20 minutes then leave. But I also hard way that you can't random girls in Orlando. get the wrong idea. The next time you come in they won't leave you alone, and they will punch other girls who try to talk to you. It takes a month to shake them On the day you are the gets punched, for them the day you tipped and dumping them. One time I got one dance from a little blonde girl, because I had come in for two weeks without any interest to a single girl. had some who like 75 years and richer than me, so she wouldn't bother me again. After I spent that whatever, she Fatal Attraction. She took a bunch of pictures with me and my motorcycle helmet and posted them on facebook. She called me all day trying to persuade me to get a matching tattoo. She cried for like a week when I didn't come her birthday. she mean. So one day right they sold the club and the girls left. I sat down and did my best to avoid eye contact so none of girls bother me. So guys at the door decided to harass me, and one of the new guys comes and says "There's a l-drink minimum." The previous management usually let me in for free because I was a known a big spender in The new didn't me. I asked "Can I buy a cigar?" The previous management, starting from that first night I into Cabaret always had some cigars they sell me. So would the manager $20 for $10 and then I could sit and smoke it bothering me. And without having to get drunk and drive home just to spend some The young guy said didn't think or know if they had any cigars. I said the manager had them. He said he would ask Jim.
