Ba ba ba bounceee
Who is going to this party????????
I wonder if the boat actually will be cruising in the water? Is that a stupid question?
Hope no one going gets easily sea sick...
Townie
So last night I met up with my friend Tyler who is basically my only remaining friend from high school. We decided to have a wild night in the local bars in an adjacent town.
It was crazy!!!
Haha not.
We went to this bar and watched the remaining minutes of the Celtics game. The minute I walked in I ran into some familiar faces, familiar yes, but other than that I was like oh greaaaaaaaaat.
I created a drinking game which was basically anytime someone scoured a point, fouled, passed the ball, there a was a commercial, a close up of the crowd, and even dribbled the ball - you drink. It was actually pretty fun.
We then went to another bar where I ran into all the girls who were my "friends" in high school but actually hated and tormented me...god i do not miss high school! But it appears the joke actually wasn't really on me for those 4 looong years - I was pleased to see they put on the freshman 50. Keep eating your feelings girls and I hope all your relationships with the guys who flunked out of community college prosper into a baby at 23 and food stamps!
I'm going back to the city tomorrow it was nice being home and seeing my mom and dad, wish i could stay longer but duties call.

Well Pink Elephant opened last night to "friends and family"
And so did Bungalow 8 or as it is now called Number 8. Are people going to call it Number 8? Or just say Bungalow 8 because its a little late in the game now to switch names. Its like the Artist Formally Known As....
I feel like no one will call it Number 8..why not just say 8? Its too much effort to say Number in front of an actual number...sounds stupid to me. Its like saying "Letter A" Its a little arbitrary but what do I know.
Did they read my article about the stupidity of naming a club the same thing as their previously failed one? Hm...maybe or maybe i just like to think this as i sit here petting my ego cat in my lap. Purrrrr
I know I'm weird.
Anyways another thing I was thinking this whole "friends and family" concept. Does that mean immediate family? First or second cousins? What happens if there was trouble in paradise? What about step moms and dads? Are they invited?
And friends? That's a little broad...I wonder how crowded it is? I like clubs that use the term "soft opening" too. If i had a club I would have a "hard opening" Soft opening just reminds me of a guy who did too much blow and can't get hard. The term has a connotation of a club that is scared and they are doing a test run to see what happens. Like a science experiment. I wonder if clubs have had soft openings that were lack luster. Then what? Do they then progress to a "fuzzy opening" ?
I know all these questions are thought provoking and very pressing in our day in age. Thank god someone thought of irrigation and farming. If not we would still be hunting food and never have the time to build things or if we skip a few steps open clubs where people stand in rooms and listen to music. I think its time I crack open a book or get a hobby..like climbing rock walls that ascetically look like boulders but really I'm only climbing pegs...or even better indoor sky diving where i put on a weird suit and fly around a room with a big fan. Humans do strange things.
Well now that I have babbled on...I wonder how it went..I'm digging around asking a couple people so waiting on what they say. Not that it will be anything interesting, what moron who works for either of these venues would say anything beside "It was great!!!!!!!!!!!" But then again...my hope hasn't completely been deluded because like ive said...these places DID pull a teen mom and name their new baby the saaaaame name. I'm still working through this, like my dad says on numerous occasions, in time Kels - you will get over this.
So I will just take the initiative and speak on behalf of both venues and let you know that both of the soft openings................went great!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the rambling, this was basically just a 4 minute progression of thoughts - luckily I can almost type as fast as I think.

These kids are about to blow up
My friend sent me this. Its a VINTAGE article about Richie Akiva Juskee and quotes from Steve Lewis, Mark Baker, and a bunch of other nightlife vets who are still in the scene.
They look so young!!!!
It was written in 1999 when the young men were still club promoters and selling tshirts out of their back packs on the street. These guys use to hustle!
Its a great read because these guys have come a loooooooong way. Gives hope to us kids who are grinding to make a name for ourselves.

Nightlife Matchmaker
I'm bored and its raining. So this is what happens when my mind wanders.
Here are mine. If anyone comes up with some good ones leave a comment and I'll repost it!
10. Kelly Leatherman and the Koch brothers. A girl can dream.

Imagine if their was a show "Nightlife Matchmaker" It would be about a man or woman whose job it was to match up people in nightlife and send them on dates.
I know I would be glued to the TV
Then I thought...lets have some fun. If I was a nightlife match maker here are some potential matches that I think would be just amazing.
Here are mine. If anyone comes up with some good ones leave a comment and I'll repost it!
1. Jayma Cardosa and Jason Strauss. Strategic's Elite! Power couple anyone?
2. Alex Julian and Ruby Munoz. Door girl to Door man. They could bond over their favorite rejection lines.
3. Disco and Mark Birnbaum.
4. Steve Lewis and Amy Sacco. Nightlife Veterans.
5. Karim Amatullah and Mina Solimon. Seven minutes in Double Heavannnn
6. Richie Akiva and...I Hate Models.
7 Stephan Seguin and Lucy.
8. Justin Ross Lee and Rachel Uchitel. No need to explain.
9. Cody Pruitt and Roxy Cottontail. I could see this!
