Last night was weird. It started off really slow. Which was expected, we always have an off night the week after a big night. But the crowd was very dancy, which was good, and they were dancing to very good music (IMO). We hardly had any requests, which is really weird. Lately the last two hours of the night have been almost exclusively requests, but last night I would say only 3 or 4 people asked for anything all night.
At about 12:30ish it got really busy, the bar around Lexi went from dead to suddenly she was running her ass off. When I left at 1:00 (I had the early shift last night) the dancefloor was packed and the bar was full. Maybe everyone was over playing pool or something. They did close the other side a bit early last night.
The kids (18-20) are definitely adding a different feel to the night and there are starting to be more and more of them. They dance to different music, they request different music, they give off a different vibe then the old farts (Like me). It’s weird to think that when these 18 year old’s were 3, I was 18. AHHH – fuck I’m old. But they add energy to the night, and it’s good that we are training them, expanding their music selections beyond Manson and Crueshadows (sp?).
I saw one poor newbie girl who was in the men’s bathroom with a terrified look on her face. I think the poor girl didn’t know that there are bathrooms that don’t have Urinals. When I entered she bolted out before I could tell her about the bathrooms that would be a little better for her. Hopefully one of her friends told her about the other bathrooms after she told them about her experience. The kids are filling the room. We have had consistently good nights for quite a while now, and that is a very good thing. I think the raver kids that we had for a while are now dressing in black and not bringing their glow sticks…lol They’re learning.
Well I should get off the crack for a while and get to work.
