SAN DIEGO — A former San Diego city councilman who resigned in 2005 amid San Diego’s infamous “stripper-gate” scandal was appointed to a new city position on Tuesday.
In November 2005, former San Diego City Councilman Michael Zucchet addressed news cameras in the front of the federal courthouse after a U.S. district judge acquitted him of seven wire fraud and extortion charges.
Zucchet, who is currently the general manager of the San Diego Municipal Employees Association, was appointed by the San Diego City Council to the new oversight board on Tuesday.

“The nomination of Michael Zucchet is particularly troubling,” she said. “In addition to the baggage of ‘stripper-gate’ and by the way, do your research… he was not exonerated.”

Former City Councilman Michael Zucchet, general manager of the city government’s largest labor union, is set to return to City Hall in an official capacity Monday.
The council will consider his nomination by Mayor Jerry Sanders to serve on the seven-member San Diego Oversight Board that will manage the winding down of the city’s 14 redevelopment projects from San Ysidro to downtown to the College Area.
…
Zucchet, elected in 2002, resigned in 2005 after being convicted along with another councilman in a campaign contribution scandal tied to a strip club owner. But the judge threw out the jury’s findings in Zucchet’s case and ordered a new trial that resulted in the dismissal of all charges in 2010.
San Diego Strip Clubs: ESCONDIDO: Women see view to the top through glass ceiling
March 30, 2012 at 12:12 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No Comments… You don’t have to compromise who you are to be in an environment where you may be the only person in a dress, or heels, or with makeup,” said Cynthia Curiel, vice president of communications for aerospace and defense manufacturer Northrop Grumman.
The discussion touched on office politics and tips for seeking promotions, as well as the balance of work and family, and the rigors of business travel.
Allgood said she once competed for a sales position with a male colleague who had spent the previous day golfing with the executive who would interview them. Knowing that she lacked that access, she said she got the job by focusing on areas where she surpassed her rival.
“Think about what your strengths and weaknesses are, and what are your biggest assets,” she said. “I was a good team-builder and good motivator. I was not good at schmoozing clients. I was not good at going to sports clubs, which turned out to be strip clubs.”
San Diego Strip Clubs: Long, maddening fall for former No. 1 Matt Bush
March 26, 2012 at 8:12 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsThe worst of the worst was in the past, Bush said. He was clean and sober and ready to play baseball. He was sure of that. He would convince himself so. The only thing left from that day was the sickening aftertaste of sitting in a locked cell, wondering how the hell he got there and how he could get out, a moment that refused to stop haunting him.
“I have dreams still that I’m in jail, that I don’t even realize it, but I’m going to be there for a long time,” Bush said. “It’s scary what I got away with.”
Today, Matt Bush is in jail. He is going to be there for a long time. A Florida judge Monday set his bail at more than $1 million after Bush allegedly stole his spring roommate’s SUV Thursday night, got drunk, climbed on stage at a strip club before bouncers booted him, headed back on the road and hit a 72-year-old motorcyclist named Tony Tufano. Bush reportedly ran over Tufano’s head while peeling away. He drove from the carnage with a .18 blood alcohol level and a septuagenarian lying in the street in critical condition.
San Diego Strip Clubs: LA DWP Is ‘Ringleader’ of ‘Secret Society’ Running America’s Largest Water …
March 14, 2012 at 12:12 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No Comments… I don’t know how any water agency could advocate for rate increases,” says Cushman. (We’ve contacted Pettijohn and the DWP for comment. Also, waiting on the MWD to post its own video of the hearing to its website.)
Cushman gripes that “given all the concerns” with skyrocketing costs at the SoCal water supplier, “L.A. should have been there right beside us. But instead, the L.A. DWP was there at head of parade.”
One possible explanation: San Diego claims that the MWD has approved multiple subsidy agreements with the L.A. DWP.
Again, that would only be a plus for Angelenos. Dogged DWP gadfly Jack Humphreville says he hasn’t heard much about the allegations, but says it appears that “any sketchiness is at San Diego’s expense.”
Aww. Poor Sandy Eggo. All dried up in the bowels of SoCal, too brain-bleached to weasel its way into the apparent gentlemen’s club running America’s largest and most powerful water fountain.
San Diego Strip Clubs: Bawdy storytellers talk sex with lusty locals
March 13, 2012 at 8:13 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsHighlights included a story from local performer Melissa Hoobler about her first experience creating a profile on a swingers website. Hoobler, recently divorced, had decided to spice up her love life and invited a couple from the site to experience her first threesome. The steamy encounter was interrupted by her pet rabbit when it attempted to join the party.
Adult entertainer Miss Maggie Mayhem shared the tale of how she got her start in the industry as a student at a University of Calfornia school. Mayhem along with another stripper performed at a bachelor party full of conservative men in sweater vests who weren’t tipping well. They decided to spice up the party by showcasing a very public tryst. Needless to say, things loosened up a bit and money started to rain. Mayhem later discovered the men in attendance were professors at her school.

San Diego Strip Clubs: Your Favorite Team Doesn’t Give a Damn About You
March 7, 2012 at 7:12 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No Comments… Okay. I understand you love the Chargers. You root for them; you want them to win. It kills you when they lose. But let me tell you a little story. Back when I was practicing medicine in Oklahoma, there was a doc in obstetrics who used to like to go to titty bars. And there was this particular titty bar not too far from the hospital where he’d go every chance he got. And this was Oklahoma, which ain’t exactly the big leagues of titty bars. I shouldn’t say that, that’s rude. Anyhow, this doc, he got real sweet on one of the strippers there. And he started coming back from lunch and telling everybody how he was sure this girl was sweet on him too, and that she was telling him he was different than the other guys, and blahbitty fuckin’ blah. This goes on for a few months. Then, on Valentine’s Day, he shows up at the titty bar with a bunch of flowers to ask this stripper to be his girl or whatever. Guess what happened.”

San Diego Strip Clubs: Locals Call BS on Vince Neil’s “1st Rock & Roll Strip Club”
March 7, 2012 at 1:13 am | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsLocals Call BS on Vince Neil’s “1st Rock & Roll Strip Club” By Jay Allen Sanford | Posted March 6, 2012, 7:50 a.m.

“I sank fifty grand into one location on Midway with the assurance that I’d get all the permits,” he says, “but at the last minute they rejected my licenses, after lying to me for six months about what I needed to get approval. All I want is to have stripper go-go girls while the bands play, on individual podiums and on a separate stage for anyone who’d rather look at girls than the band.”
…
Cole says mixing hard rock with nice racks is just plain good business. “It’s a good idea [for strip clubs] to go into bundle marketing, like cable companies and fast-food places. Times are tough for strippers, and bands are out of work. But if you tell people they can have their naked girls and their rock bands, two for the price of one, that’s probably the most recession-proof business in town.”
San Diego Strip Clubs: Miles McPherson: Christians Should Go to Least Holy Places
February 24, 2012 at 1:13 am | In San Diego strip clubs | No Comments… All this information is known. Everything is around you,” the pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in the U.S. said, noting the bars, strip clubs, escort agencies and abortion clinics someone would pass driving through San Diego.
Church members should not turn away when seeing those spiritually troubled around them, said McPherson. In all these places, “there are spiritual forces of wickedness that are there, hoping that you just keep on going,” he said.
The pastor, whose church was founded in 2000 but has already expanded to 12,000 members, is currently behind initiatives involving youth ministries that go out of the church and into troubled places like bars and strip clubs to evangelize. One of them is a ministry involving exclusively women who go to strip clubs to pass out Bibles and spread the word about the Rock Church. The technique works, McPherson assures, as the all-female team has even encountered its own church member on one occasion.
San Diego Strip Clubs: Artist Spotlight: Q&A with The Kooks
February 21, 2012 at 7:12 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsFrom the best tracks off the new album, to fun tales from the road and why he hates the Gaslamp Strip Club, get the Insider scoop on all things Kooks in our DiscoverSD exclusive with Peter Denton.
DiscoverSD: How is Junk of the Heart different from your previous albums?
Peter: I think Junk of the Heart is a very different record to the first 2 in many ways. The only thing that really remained the same is the Producer Tony Hoffer. After trying out half a record in NY with Producer Jim Abbiss we soon realised that we may be jumping in a little quickly (even though it was nearly 3 years since Konk). Songs were unfinished, Paul wasn’t with us and the general feel just seemed a little unsettled. After returning to England, we seeked the help and guidance from Tony Hoffer (viewed as a 5th member these days) and this is where Junk Of The Heart really began to take shape.
