Finally, I had a chance to check out Steps Music Lounge where the band Topnomore is on a return engagement. I also agree with Crazier’s comments that the song selection is not as good as before. However, I still think the lead singer is one of the sexiest women I have ever laid eyes on. She as put on a couple of kilos, but wow does she move sexy. Of course, drinks are expensive and the crowd sparse. I did see some of the usual NED FL who specialize in trolling for Bules. It seems that Rezah has joined their ranks, as I saw her in a rather sleazed up outfit that screamed “For Rent.” She was on the prowl as she was leaving the dead Step’s and heading for the hopefully greener pastures of the No Name Pub in Harmoni Hotel.

this club is much more popular and is packed nowadays. Once free, they are now demanding a high cover charge.

Steps charging a cover charge???!!!!! Give me a fuckin' break. Third world economics at its finest.
