The Houston Chronicle reports today that San Antonio strip club Palace Men's Club is planning a trip to the popular river innertubing destination New Braunfels this Sunday as the city initiates a massive sweep of the normal drunken debauchery that usually occurs during trips down the river.
Even though the manager of the club says that the dancers will be dressed as they should be and that they aren't "hookers, dope dealers or Mafia thugs," this appears to be a not too subtle poke at the new ordinance, which has created a lot of new rules since we first attended one of these mass gatherings of drunken idiocy, where the only rule was no glass bottles on the water.
New Braunfels City Councilman Ken Valentine had this to say about the stripper trip, which men can accompany for $25, proving that no matter where you go with an exotic dancer, you always have to pay cover: "I'm really disappointed that this is going to occur on Sunday when people should be in church,. I hope they behave themselves and keep their clothes on, but I'm not sure they will because strippers are trained to take off their clothes."
Perhaps Councilman Valentine doesn't understand the purpose of people making these trips. They're so you don't have to behave responsibly. When you go on a tubing trip with six guys, four girls, five cases of beer and a handle of whiskey (not that we did or anything - ed.), responsibility goes out the window. Just make sure that you have a religious zealot on the river with you to laugh at and then drive you home, as we did. Or didn't. We have to vague. Our mother reads this.
