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!

There will always be stupid people!

This person that I work with is a thorn in my side. He constantly treats me like I can't do enough for him. I am an assistant for 18 people, not just this person. So, all last week I was on pins and needles at work because this person was trying to get me fired.

Over the weekend, I gave myself an attitude adjustment! There will always be demanding, stupid people! So I need to just figure out a way to deal with it.

So, I am actually having fun killing him with kindness! It has taken the tension off of having to be perfect in order to make him happy!

Just remember that THERE WILL ALWAYS BE STUPID PEOPLE!
