Exotic Magazine: A.C.E. News: November 2003

October ACE Meeting:

The last Oregon-ACE meeting held at Captain Ankeny's on Tuesday, October 14 at 4pm was a very active and informative get-together. It included a special visit from Portland City Commissioner Randy Leonard's Policy Advisor, Brent Canode. Also in attendance were representatives from Cleopatra's Viewpoint, Stars Cabaret, Sassy's, Exotic Magazine, G-Spot, Doc's, Excitement, Boom Boom Room and various other attorneys, consultants and vendors.

Brent Canode, Policy Advisor of Commissioner Randy Leonard reviewed with us the proposed draft for new city/OLCC regulatory guidelines.

On the legal front:

The Oregon Supreme Court hearings of Nyssa v. Miss Sally's and State v. Ciancanelli will be taking place Monday, November 3 at Linfield College in McMinnville.

The ACE injunction against the OLCC for the new "lewd conduct rules" is ongoing.

ACE Memberships:

ACE Members must continue to help each other out, and should make a habit of publicly giving preferential treatment to fellow-members over non-members. That's one of the ways your ACE membership gives you value - it brings discounts that save you money. It's also part of the dues that you owe: when you offer a discount to your fellow ACE members, you are making an in-kind contribution that strengthens us all.

Please consider offering your fellow ACE members 10% off your best price. Member clubs, you should offer ACE-member entertainers 10% off your house fees, or preferential access (i.e. one day earlier) to shift selection, or both.

Offering discounts can cost you cash, so you shouldn't feel bad about raising your rates to non-members. Non-members are trying to free-load - they want all the benefits of collective defense with none of the costs. Let them pay more, so that - balanced against your discounts to your fellow ACE members - you end up no worse off than before, while ACE grows stronger.

And please, put the ACE logo in your ads, and mention your ACE-member discounts.
