I Am Excited!!!

So, we finally have some country music coming to the club and I am excited!!!


First on the list is Lee Brice. A SC native that is quickly moving up the charts. He is so cute and has a great voice! Check him out here. He is coming on September 25 and I really hope we have a good crowd. Since we were able to keep the ticket price to only $13...we should have a good turn out. (You can buy tickets here)

I am so excited!!!!!!

Just Crazy!


So, last night, I worked the door for a concert at Stages. It was an all ages show...BIG MISTAKE! But that is how the performer does all of his shows. So, we put bracelets on the 21 and over crowd and marked the hands of the ones that are too young to drink.

The concept seems simple enough but WTF??? The young ones would either wash off the permanent ink or have their friends buy them alcohol. Several (number too high to say) were asked to leave for drinking.


I stood at the door and would not let anyone in if they did not have either a bracelet or mark. If they didn't have either, they had to pay to get back in. OMG! I felt like I was a part of a three ring circus! Managing this alone took 4 people!!!

I actually enjoy working the door though. I get to be tough (and yes, I know how to do that) and enforce the rules.

I am just glad that we do not do many of these all ages shows!

Something for Nothing????


So, last night I worked the door at the club. It was there that I witnessed something shameful about people... They all want something for nothing! Now this is hardly an unexpected revelation but you hardly expect to have that notion slap you in the face 100 times in 1 night.

Imagine going to the movie theater and asking to be allowed in for free. Imagine going out to eat and asking that you not be required to pay your bill. What do you think would happen? Do you think that it would work? Of course not!!!

So, why is it that people go to a club with a great entertainer with a $10 ticket and begg or complain at the door about having to pay? We have to pay that performer, the sound engineer and for security...why do you think that you are so important that you should not have to pay? The excuses are endless... "I know_____, the bartender"....duh??? He is a bartender... a lot of people know him! and yes, one time I even got, "I am great friends with _____...he owns the place" (backstory...this person sold it over 8 months ago! yes, indeed you are great friends!)

We actually do give away tickets to some of our shows. We have a set amount that are comp long before the show. What really pisses me off is when a person has 2 of these tickets and they bring 4 people and expect those 2 tickets to work for 4 people. What kind of math is that?

What is really funny is watching guys that are out trying to impress a girl. They come up to the door and try to smooth talk their way out of paying. WTF? Do they really think they are impressing her? YES!!!! The girl just stands there and rolls her eyes because the only thing that he just showed her is that 1) she is not worth $10 to him and 2) he is cheap.

I really want to believe that it is the economy but I doubt it. People have a sense of entitlement that they "deserve" to be given things and it is sad.

My point is...if you can't afford to go out....STAY HOME!

I have to tell you...

I have tried to keep this blog separate from the things that go on at the club. But that club has become such a major part of my life that it is hard not to include it. So, forgive me!

Last night was the first night of the summer long series from The Comedy Zone. Every Wednesday night we will feature the best in national touring comedians. The 2 act shows start at 7:30 & 10 and the tickets are only $10.

I had never been to a comedy club and I have to say that nothing is better than laughter to make you feel good.

Get out of your mind, images of seedy, open mic night style comedy clubs. These acts were top professionals and were hilarious. Shawn Jones was the headliner and he has been on too many TV shows to list here...I honestly did not stop laughing through his entire show. He played with the audience that he had so both shows were different!

So, that is my plug for Stages! If anyone should want some more information please email me!
