Drama: At the Penguin Club/"Messy of the Week"

Notice I added the slash in the title in honor of the Penguin Club's multi talented employees.
LMAO

Any hoo. Here's what happened last nite.

First of all I'd like to say the owner is off the hook.

This dude is crazy.

First he begged us to let him drum for our set, and I'm like "I don't know you. Hell no"...

Then the amp breaks and he has to borrow it from a band that was playing...

Then a couple of rappers get on stage. Not that they weren't good, but every word coming from their mouth was "nigga this" and "nigga that" and "I shot that nigga...I fucked that bitch." This was a mostly white establishment, and they looked shocked that people wasn't necessarily feeling them. And fellow emcees, lets at least take out the lead vocals in the tracks when we are performing, especially on the same ticket as bands that are playing everything live. You lip sync/rapping along with your completed song isn't that sexy to the crowd that is used to live music. Needless to say, half the crowd hauled ass.

Then the bartender/violinist, and that guy with the guitar and the owner's sister get on stage and chase the other half of the crowd away singing a long ass thousand hour set. It wasn't that they weren't good, but you know after around hour nine hundred, it was time to move on.

Then the band demands the amp so that they can leave and Mister Owner wants to argue with them.

Then he looks at us like we were going to perform with a broke ass amp. Hell no. We are out.

Everybody that works there is a slash person. Bartender/violin lady. Cook/guitarist, etc. and at any moment they are ready to pounce on stage and live out their rock and roll dreams at the expense of your set.

Another thing, the owner figured it would be sexy to do an impromptu comedy skit between acts. He thought wrong. They wasn't even short skits. They was like 10 minutes of drawn out blah blah blah.

Crazy...but certainly entertaining.

I can't wait for next week.
