So at one point on Friday, one of our nurses has some lingerie-wearing gal by the scruff of her neck and is handily tossing her out. It was a bit shocking and she was in full bouncer mode, and that nurse is a big gal, easily 4x the size of the patron. Turns out she snuck in a rear entrance to RM and decided to pee in our storage room. WTH!? The goddam bathrooms are right outside, across the hall.
Saturday went better. I had Tara (dressed as Harley Quinn - the original cartoon version, not the recent Robbie sexpot thankfully) and a trusty Cruz JNK partner-in-crime, the ever invisible Rich. We grabbed dinner at Ananda Fuara, which is always a vegetarian treat, and was amusing as Rich has this ritual of grabbing In-and-out in Daly City when we head to SF. He enjoyed Ananda saying it opened some doors for him, and we missed the RM meeting, which was just as well. RM was having a lot of fun with the box of Funny Mushrooms I brought the night before. It was this wacky chocolate candy I found at the Euro market, just down the street. I'm bringing that to every show from now on.
The crowd was much more costumed and the stage was finished. Tara counted nearly two dozen Harleys. RM had one gal vol come in a dinosaur onesie (cute) and several vols got their face painted. There was still a huge spread of food. Director Gordon was being generous. Our Doc, Judy, was there at the beginning, took a few hours break to go to the Opera next door, and then came back. Impressive. There were a lot of scanty bikini bottoms, but this is a clothes on show, and most of the costumes are relatively tasteful. There was only one gal who wore only caution tape and pasties (her date was dressed as a cop). That was generally thought of as a costume fail because she didn't wear it well and it didn't hold up for the evening.
The stage was outrageous. They added a 30' inflatable spider but it didn't come out in any pix (that we weren't supposed to take) because it was dwarfed by the lights and lasers. One of the biggest brightest laser displays so far, including a spectacular new color, a cool white that is tinged violet. Maybe it was the stage or the company, but I had a much better time and enjoyed the music a lot more. Dr. Fresch was good traditional EDM. Ghastly, Zomboy and KSMHR were all solid. Only the closer Showtek was disappointing.
We manned the table service, which was very busy all night. Ran a few calls, including a barfy chick that was just Tara and I (I sent Tara for back up and she did well on that - she felt she actually worked). I ran a few other small calls, but mostly refilled cups as we went through a crate of cups and then some that night.
Two guys hit on Tara. I only saw one - she told me about the other later. The one was totally mollied, so much so it was funny. Tara was very amused, especially when he turned to me and I said "that's my daughter" in full Katana mask and Halloween scariness. He quickly wilted, much to everyone's amusement, and did everything he could to apologize. There's this tradition of exchanging beaded bracelets at EDM - a cheap swap done with a handshake 'peace love unity' ritual. The beads spell out something. I got two: DRUGS (of course) and HENNY (which I had to look up to confirm my assumption - it's slang for Hennessy). We also got cool official BOO! pins as schwag.
