Lynn's Bad, Bad Boys danced at the Poison Apple two or three times. For Lynn and most of the guys, who lived in the south and southwest suburbs of Chicago, this nightclub was about one and a half hours away. But for me and another guy add an extra forty five or sixty minutes....we lived in the northwest suburbs.
We would all meet and park around 80 & 294 in South Holland and drive in Lynn's car to New Buffalo, Michigan.
We would do our show with Lynn as the MC. It was a great scene, us guys dancing like crazy and the girls yelling and screaming! After the show we would hang out for an hour or so to have a drink or two and dance and talk to the girls.
Then we piled in the car for the long ride. After we got across the border Lynn would want to stop in at Denny's for an early breakfast.
I really wouldn't have stopped if I was on my own. The lights were so bright in there and I was thinking of getting home and sleeping, and eating wasn't something I needed to do. I was a good sport though and went inside most of the time, except once I stayed in the car.
But I was happy to be dancing at the Poison Apple. I thought it was nice to be adding Michigan to my list of states I traveled to for this unusual job I chose. I didn't have a big list though....in 12 or 13 years I only danced in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
