Lagoa - Rodolfo is feeling generous

[mvan1]

It is rare to see rates at Lagoa as this ad shows - 

If you are in SP, give it is try, even though Monday is usually a dead night here.

Rodolfo generous.....lol  (I know you're being sarcastic)

I've known him pretty well for about 12 yrs easily, Edgar longer, even ran into him when he was in BKK.

The biggest thing he did for me was a free entrada on my birthday, and he acted like he just gave me a winning lottery ticket, smh

I am impressed that you picked on my sarcasm about Rodolfo being "generous"

If a prize existed, such as a Nobel-less prize for being stingy, Rodolfo wins hands down.  

Rodolfo's advertisement for a R$30 sauna entrance fee is not generous.  He is desperate.  As many of us know, Monday night at Lagoa is usually slow or terrible.  He lowered the entrance rate for that day to encourage people to visit his sauna.  Nothing more, nothing less.    

My first example of Rodolfo's stinginess that I recall occurred several years ago when I and some friends had dinner at a nice restaurant with him. 

At dinner, Rodolfo ordered things the rest of us did not order or even want including a bottle of expensive wine. 

You guessed it; when it came time for us to pay the bill, Rodolfo ran out on paying his share of the dinner that was more than 75% solely attributable to things he ordered.  Laughably, he was the one who suggested our going to dinner.  

It was not worthy of our time or effort to attempt have Rodolfo pay his share of the dinner that he suggested.  I am confident he knew exactly what he was doing when he pulled off that little scam on us.

In your response, you mentioned Edgard - He died several years ago.  Edgard's estate, including his 2/3 interest in ownership of Lagoa, is an amusing story for another day -

UPDATE - 

Rodolfo's sale on the entrance price and quartos was a success.

Last night there were lots of clients and garotos at Lagoa.    A good time was had by all. 

Whoever convinced Rodolfo to lower the price on Monday gave him good advice, at least for last night.   

Monday is usually a quiet and dull night at Lagoa.  Even on those dull nights, employees are paid to service very few clients.  It is obvious that Rodolfo does not make a profit on days when expenses occur but clients do not come to the sauna to offset those expenses.  

However, with the new lower Monday night entrance rate (R$30) and lower cabine rates, Rodolfo is basking in reais today. 

How long with the special price last?  Only Rodolfo can answer that question.  

Those who anticipate a trip to Sao Paulo in the near future might want to give Lagoa a try on Monday as well as some of the other days when the sauna is filled with beauties and more.   However, if your trip is scheduled a month or so in the future, you might want to check to see if the special Monday night rate is still available.
