WEEKEND RECAP....

It's Sunday night and I am doing the re-cap tonight as opposed to Monday b/c I am filling in for MASTER THESPIAN. He's preparing for a one-man theatrical showcase on Tuesday night and needed the extra time to "get into the zone". I'm not sure what happens at these "showcases"; My guess is that he will perform some set pieces for important people in the industry (like agents, film types and such)to gain much needed exposure. We wish him the best and as they say in show business, "break a leg!".

Last night was a typical summer night on 3rd Avenue; AKA Amateur Night. You had your usual share of FRATS, JAPS, B & T's, and all of the hijinx that comes with it. We turned away many an underaged kid trying to pass as his brother or her sister. The early part of the night was pretty slow; however, we did experience a bit of humor when I was confronted from Chief Jay Silverheels, a rather drunk American Indian who was upset because I wouldn't allow him to come in due to his drunken state. Here's a bit of our conversation:

CHIEF JAY: I want to get a drink.

SF: Sorry sir, I don't think you need another drink; you look as if you had enough already. (a bit of a pause)

CHIEF JAY: How much can you bench?

SF: Excuse me?

CHIEF JAY: You heard me! How much can you bench? I can bench 300 pounds!

SF: Ooh-kay. You still can't come in. (he stares at me fiercely)

CHIEF JAY: Do you know who I am? I'M AN AMERICAN INDIAN! Now let me in!

SF: No offense, sir, but what you are is irrelevant. You are too drunk to come in.

CHIEF JAY: How much can you bench, dammit! I AM AN AMRERICAN INDIAN AND THIS IS MY LAND!

SF: Once again, what you are and what you can lift is of no matter to me. You still aren't coming in.

So he stares at me for what seemed like an eternity....then he staggers off, yelling FUCK YOU! YOU CAN'T PUSH ME OFF OF MY LAND!

My barback OPIE CUNNINGHAM and I just stood there, dumbfounded. You can't make this stuff up.

The rest of the evening picked up steam a bit after midnight when we started to get small groups of women strolling in. And we all know that i'm always up for groups of women. For where there are women, the men are sure to follow. Next thing you know, we're busy up until the end of the night. So it turned out to be a decent night after all. I got a visit from THE LADY IN BLACK, who always provide her share of entertainment. She was relatively well-behaved last night, although she seems to attract her share of groupies. Go figure. I thought I was the only one who got them. The bar was manned by T.W. and HOOTERGIRL (the new girl on the block); They seemed to mesh well together as it was their first night working together. We'll have to see about pairing them together again in the near future.

That's about it for now; I gots to get my sleep! Don't forget, it's Monday and that usually means one thing: DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS!

NUFF SAID!
