This week we are catching up with Craig Seymour, an American writer, music critic and former stripper.

Gay Strip Club

And, we are heading back to the s to find out about his time stripping at various clubs throughout Washington, DC. At that point in time there was a strange quirk in the zoning laws that meant that strippers could be fully naked and fondled by customers. Whilst a graduate at the University of Maryland, Craig started to write an ethnographic study of the clubs, and what better way to learn about your subject than immersing yourself?

You can also find Craig on Instagram and Twitter. I mean, that certainly is what stripping did for me, you know. Hello, my name is K Anderson and you are listening to lost spaces, the podcast that mourns the death of queer nightlife. Every episode I talk to a different person about a venue from their past, the memories they created there, and the people that they used to know.

Whilst to graduate at the University of Maryland, Craig started to write an ethnographic study of the clubs. And what better way to learn about your subject than immersing yourself. We took all about a number of clubs, which include La Cage Aux Folles, secrets, and wet and all of the experiences that led to Craig writing his memoir, or I could bear my life in the strip clubs of gay Washington, DC.

Oh, and before we start the episode, I need to let you know that I finally got my shit together, and set up some socials for this podcast. I would love if you could come and talk to me on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, my user handle for all of them is last spaces part.

Shall we get started? I feel like in my generation sex was like a whole part of the weekend experience. Do you know what I mean? So it was like, you went out saw your friends you drank, you then maybe met somebody and you know, something might have gone on, you might have gone home with the person then maybe you went back to the club or something or I mean, you you were a club here, then just that whole, like, well, you might need to loosen up a rod like.

And that sex is sort of a part of that, but not the whole part of that can now that you can just order up sex on your phone. I think. Everybody was kind of like paste and cheap cologne. Yeah, exactly. The fantasy was shattered you know in the morning and everything like that. It could be.

And they gay represent what people use to try to represent when they went out to a nightclub. Like, in the olden days before you had that option of, Oh, I can just go home and log onto Grindr and find someone there. And so you would just like you would, you know, yes, you might settle.
