Hola Amigos. I've been away a long time struggling to attain Nirvana. My meditation regimen does not allow me to skim through glorious newbie posts hour after hour in search of reorienting my divining rod to the current state of affairs and love in the Greatest City on Earth.

Okay, here's help for your divining rod...
Would someone be so very kind as to direct me to the most complete, non-newbie overview of today's action in the land of Oz? I still remember the stuff about not doing this, and carying along that. I want to know...
First of all, if you're not a V.I.P. member, you should be. If you go to Prolijo's website
http://www.whoreticulturist.info you can join V.I.P. from there, and also acquire access to an excellent interactive map, which shows all the hot spots, many great restaurants, hotels, laundries and landmarks. It's worth the price of V.I.P. membership. If you're already a V.I.P., go to the V.I.P. section and search for the map. It's excellent, with pop-up photos of many of the listed places.
Hotest bars and massage centers other than Del Rey, Oasis, Zona Blue, (and maybe Tango India...)
Le Grillon, excellent, fun strip club.
Pantera Rosa - Excellent, fun strip club
Bar Idem: Bar-massage parlor hybrid, ladies are often excellent, costs range from U.S. $40 - $44.00, more or less per hour. Located near an excellent PanAsian restaurant, Tinjo and other massage places. Roberto is the manager, and he can recommend girls etc. to make your visit more enjoyable.
Bar Monaco - Like the Blue Marlin, kind of...but more oriented toward ticos. Rooms on-site for fun, 8,000 colones ($16.50?) for a half hour session.
Arkada's - Tico place in a dodgy neighborhood; I love this place and have had a lot of fun. Strip shows, porn on the TV, $7.00 girl drinks, $16.00/half hour upstairs.
Park Morazan - Fun, frolic and life-threatening danger from transvestite hookers... on second thought...

Never mind.
Any significant changes in those.
Economic changes directly affecting bid and answer prices and hour, two-hour, and toda la noche experiences
The prices continue to rise, as more and more dumbass gringos invade Costa Rica. I'll get arguments on this, but most BM/KL girls will go with you for around $60.00/hour in multiple-hour sessions, higher for a single hour.
I just talked to someone who ran into the owner of the Bunny Ranch in Nevada; the guy was visiting Zona Blue doing research for an article he's writing for Hustler magazine. If this is true, the lid is about to blow off our little paradise. More international exposure will not be good for the price of poon, and even its availability may be compromised with so much publicity.
Significant busts or scandals a conscientious fellow needs to know about.
Watch out for increased use of "date-rape"drugs by the girls, who will drug and rob you. Rohypnol, GHB,scopalamine and a muscle-relaxer eyedrop used by opthalmologists are all favorite Mickey Finn drugs. Watch your drink, watch your back.
There is also an increase in violent muggings; tourists are the most likely targets. One common strategy is for one guy to put the victim in a choke-hold, while a second guy goes through the victim's pockets. This happens often on Sundays, when the streets are less crowded. Take cabs everywhere, unless you're expert in martial arts.
Latest news on where to find the GFE.
Man, that question is very subjective. Try daytime girls at the BM, the Sportsmen's Lodge, or look for a non-pro or semi-pro to make your novia.
The GFE depends more upon the personalities of the monger and the chica then it does with hunting locations. I've found GFE's in MPs. You never know where the next girlfriend fantasy experience awaits.
I will, of course, do my own research before my next trip, but I would love to be able to check in from time to time and get all this info when I'm in the mood, have the time, and am ready to set up a trip on the spur of the moment. Like now.
Any help?
Strobe, I encourage you to do as much research as your meditation schedule permits. There's a load of current info. Check the "Bars, Nightclubs and Massage Parlors" section of this forum, as well as the Newbies, General Information, Trip Reports and Girls Review sections. You'll get a good idea fairly quickly as to the state of the game in Costa Rica. Good luck, and I look forward to someday meeting you in San Jose!
