Customers slowly drive through a tent that contains four dancers and a DJ. The first 50 cars get a free roll of toilet paper. "You pull in and you get one or two songs with the gogos, then we bring your food out to you and then you go on your way," explained Lucky Devil Lounge owner Shon Boulden in a [video report]() uploaded by *The Oregonian*. "We're continuing to keep our kitchen guys working, all of our bartenders, all of our dancers," he added. https://youtu.be/hOFs_u41Cc0 The venture's food delivery service was formerly named "[Boober Eats,]()" until Uber sent them a cease-and-desist letter, according to *Oregon Live*. The business appears to be taking precautions to ensure the dancers' safety. *Reuters* images [uploaded to Twitter]() (NSFW) show masked and gloved strippers pole-dancing while customers remain seated inside their vehicles. The photos "confirm that we have reached the neon anime sci fi part of our future dystopia," Sean Craig, reporter for *The Capital* in Victoria, Canada, wrote in the [tweet](). Even the official Twitter account of the upcoming video game blockbuster "Cyberpunk 2077" [chimed in](), writing "please release more footage" in a Twitter reply. The game, slated for release in September, takes place in a dystopian "Blade Runner"-inspired world. "Every small business is feeling this pain, the same hurt, and we’re just another small business," Boulden told *Oregon Live*. "We’ve just been able to create this niche and it worked." A strip club in Las Vegas attempted to open its own drive-thru experience last month, [according to the *Las Vegas Review-Journal*](). The venture, however, met a wall when Nevada mandated all nonessential businesses to close in mid-March. Other businesses in the industry have chosen to go the virtual route. A New York City strip club decided to launch virtual reality lap dances, [according to the *New York Post*](). "People need human connection and need to be entertained," founder Kalin Moon told *The New York Post.* "VR is a great way to accomplish this from the safety of your own home.” **READ MORE:** [Drive-thru strip shows? ‘Food 2 Go-Go?’ Nude clubs try to survive coronavirus lockdown]() \[*Miami Herald*\] **More on the pandemic:** *[NEW RESEARCH: ENDING LOCKDOWN WOULD HURT THE ECONOMY EVEN MORE]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
