A VERY weird night

Ok so i was really bored tonight so I decided to go to the only local place that has karaoke on a Thursday night.

So i'm sitting their by myself, and this guy stumbles by then decides to sit down. He said "Hey I remember you from New Years, you're frickin' awesome dude!!"

I thanked him.. that's when he swalled a capsule with his beer, and proceeded to tell me all about how he sold cocaine and E.

Needless to say, I was a bit uncomfortable but I was polite. Then he offered me some, and i emphatically told him no.

Then he tried to get me to sing a song with him. He was so far gone he couldn't even stand up..

Well after I had sang my third song, i called my mom and basically told her to 'come over NOW and get me the heck out of her" *lol*

I've had a few people ask me if I smoked pot, but I've never met a drug dealer before.. :sqeek:

night all

...i called my mom and basically told her to 'come over NOW and get me the heck out of her" *lol*

James - I have to admit, I've never thought to call my mom to get me "out of anyone!!" :sqlaugh: :sqlaugh: :sqlaugh: (j/k)



But seriously, I don't know how old you are, but as you continue in this business (especially if you do bars and clubs) you will find yourself exposed to many types of folks, some less savory than others. Keep your head on straight and keep saying "No thanks!" :sqcool:

Yikes. I have had people ask me if I "needed any pot or anything" but never heard anyone brave or stupid enough to say "I sell cocaine."

Part of the reason I stay away from bars. Wouldn't want to hang with someone like that around and DEFINITELY would not be willing to work somewhere it was tolerated.

Jeeeez!

All part of the biz.... Just keep giving the right answer -no-, stay cool, and erase it when you walk out the door.:sqcool:

Ooh, fun subject, sniffers.

I call em sniffers cause they sniff coke, krank, whatever.

If you're a non sniffer, you're not in the sniffer circle of trust. I would bet about %60 of the people in any given club, on any given night are sniffers, but again, you're not in the circle of trust, so you wouldn't know.

I had someone very close to me addicted to that **** for 10 years. I had no idea. When I broke through the circle of trust, I was amazed how wide this circle of trust was. So many people knew what was going on, but never told me. It was the big huge secret everyone kept from toqer, because if I found out, they knew I would pull that person close to me out of that circle. They didn't want to lose a drug buddy.

Here's a good test if you have lighting at your venue.

Carry a pocket mirror and walk around, taking notice of your pupil size. At my club, we have varying areas of intense to low lighting. Look at your pupil size in the area of intense lighting. OK, now you have a control to go by.

Look at peoples pupils as they pass through the high intensity lighting area. You'll be amazed at how many have pupils the size of dinner plates, compared to your pencil lead sized pupils.

I used to point a 1000w spot at my stage. I know exactly who does and doesn't sniff on a regular basis.

snorting coke is so 80's

On subject anyone watch celebrity rehab with dr drew? Scary stuff.

One night several years ago I was out with several girls and they wanted to hear the song Cocaine. I went up to see the DJ and he had several people around he leaned forward and ask what I wanted (I assumed he meant to play). I said "Cocaine", he lookat me and saidcome around to the side of the both, I thought maybe he didn't hear me. So I moved over to the side and he opened up the 3/4 height door to the booth and motioned for me to come in, well I did, then he handed me an album cover with 4 lines of cocaine on it and a straw. I said ah, your the DJ right?, I wanted the Song Cocaine....

He got a very oh crap look on his face and said oh ok and said I'll get that on real soon.

James,

Unfortunately, it is part of working in bars, comes with the territory.

This is one reason I ended up quiting drinking. I didn't say no, to the alcohol, not so much drugs. Got very bad for me for a while and nearly lost me my married. It has been 11 years this dec 13th and have never looked back!

Working in nightclubs could be fun and very tempting. I don’t want to stay up for days or have a burning feeling every time I urinate.

Worked the restaurant and bars for many years, and it was definitely a user's paradise. :sqeek:

And you wonder why your order at McDonalds gets screwed up all the time! :sqlaugh::sqrolleyes:

Just say NO, to man-made drugs :) ;)

Just say NO, to man-made drugs :) ;)

Preach it Baby if God didn't make it then just say no

I was once married a Christian woman and quit drinking to cleanse my soul she cheated and I started drinking. Ive never looked back. Rick pour me another Crown.

That's sooo funny JT. I went out with this girl down in Flor-e-da, and she was a divorced Christian, and against guys drinking. She wasn't against herself drinking though :sqlaugh: :sqwink:


I'm about the closest thing to a Priest you will ever see on a DJ chat board, but I've learned to leave my preaching to others... :)
