When was the last time you were at Simon's? It was probably last August that he moved from the place you are talking about. And, BTW, there was a large window covered by the curtain you referred to.
I have never had a problem with his "talent". In all my excursions there I had one bad session compared to over thiry much better times. With Simon, it is important that you understand just one thing: only believe what you see.
Two times I have gone there and left without spending any money. One time my ATF was there alone, but there was nobody for the friend I had gone there with. The other time I left was the evening there was only one girl. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this lady except that she was way too young for me. I am sure that just about anybody else would have been happy to enjoy her company.
So, being a big baseball fan, Simon's batting average with me is well over 95%. And, he treats his regulars very well. but I shall not go into the detais on this.
