NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas – As officials attempt to crack down on rowdy behavior during traditional summertime tubing river trips through New Braunfels, Texas, a San Antonio topless club is planning a tubing excursion featuring strippers.
Trey Maddox, a manager at Palace Men’s Club, said Sunday’s excursion – during which men can pay $25 to join the strippers – isn’t meant to fly in the face of the city’s new rules.
City Councilman Ken Valentine isn’t so sure.
“I’m really disappointed that this is going to occur on Sunday, when people should be in church,” he said. “I hope they behave themselves and keep their clothes on, but I’m not sure they will because strippers are trained to take off their clothes.”
The New Braunfels City Council has been cracking down on rowdy behavior on the Comal and Guadalupe rivers in recent months, banning drinking devices known as beer bongs, increasing the maximum fine for noise ordinance violations and prohibiting sound amplification between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
A new ordinance banning containers with a liquid volume of 5 ounces or less – an attempt to ban Jell-O shots – will take effect after the next city council meeting.
