Because it is my website and I can do what I want with it

So I found out from Aaron (Mr. Dark) last night that the meat-head and stripper contingent that were thankfully missing from the last Sin City weren't there because they are boycotting the night. Why? Because they weren't allowed to jump the line after "having attended since the very first night". An interesting claim to make to one of the promoters. I checked back in the gallery, knowing that they first showed up the month before Jim posted the first pictures of them. That puts their first attendance at the 16th month Sin City was running. Even more amusing given how many people who have remarked on how pleasant their absence was, they feel that by their failing to show up the night fill fail, that their presence is what makes the event.

Not being above using my website to further my own interests, I have decided to play against their vanity and self-importance and "assist" their boycott by removing all the pictures of them. With any luck at all they will notice and it will strengthen their resolve not to show up anymore. One can only hope.

Yeah, those guys are pretty funny. Typical bar stars who think they can push people around and that 'the bar belongs to them' for whatever reason. The one fella came up into the booth so many times and hassled me to play 'Fuck You Like An Animal' that it would get tense, fast, as he just wouldn't take anything other than instant compliance as an insult to his crowd, which the night apparently 'owed' big time for some reason.

They consistently tried to jump the line and cried bloody murder if we told 'em first come, first serve and explained that most of the people in line were long time regulars too. It was one of that group that picked one of the very few fights in the place with Richard on the dancefloor. They also would threaten to 'shut us down' if we didn't jump and escort them in past the line.

A couple of times we basically put them on probation and told them they weren't welcome back for a few months unless they smartened up, but otherwise if they behaved, we all just want to have fun here.

And this is just the shit you guys HEAR about. Sometimes I'm not sure people are aware of just how much pain-in-the-ass bullshit Aaron and I go through on an average Sin City .... we've got LOTS more stories just like this one.
