Shows at universities often will work too. I was tech director at College Park way way way back in the day and a friend's brother used to give $5 to the guys at the back to let him sneak in to the shows. These were college students and not professional security, so they might have been making $4 an hour so $5 tax free was a good amount extra.

Would a job really be worth losing for strippers that wanted to see Justin Timberlake?

I hope that was a rhetorical question.
The closest I've ever been to a twelvesome was a seat at the Ryder Cup, and that's not the type of twelvesome we're talking about here. This is a fairly rare offer.
But jobs, come on? There are plenty of jobs out there.

it was indeed first person singular a few years back. it was either the first or second super diamond show. it's been a few years.
Pretty sure the first as that is the only one that I have been at and I remember people talking about the fight well into the night.

what i didn't tell the guy is what the rest of my answer was, because it wasn't very professional. after the initial 20 or so "no" responses, they got, "ok: you, wash my truck. you, clean up that puke over there. you, haul all the trash in the club to the dumpsters. you, paint my house. you, start cleaning toilets…" i didn't make it to all 11 of them before they got the idea and left me alone.

I didn't know about the article, until I stopped by my mom's, who left the section out for me on the table. Aw…
Way to go - great photo and article.

Having worked door at the club (it's nearly 10 years ago now), I have to give a TON of credit to the folks working there. It's not glamorous, and as thatguy points out, you have to clean up puke, throw people out, deal with fights, underage drinkers, jerky rock stars, demanding tour managers, etc. Not to mention clean up the club at the end of the night. And you have to keep a good attitude through it all…but when you work with good people and work for good people, you realize just what you have and it makes it worthwhile. Congrats to thatguy on a nice article on representing the club and doing such a good job at it.

thanks again for all of the kind words.
no need to worry about my beard, though. it's not going anywhere anytime soon. we have discussed the idea of a beard race at the club, but i don't know if it will ever happen.

Hmmmmm…mine isn't going anywhere either, there's no way I would want to get rid of it. I have thought about entering a beard contest. But I hate the thought of shaving it and having it grow back in. Talk about itchy.

we've decided that we're going to have a "no-shave november" at the club. we're not starting with blank faces, but those participating have agreed to not even so much as trim their facial hair for the entire month of november. some of them are wee lads and will have three or four hairs sticking out of their face by december. some of us will look like wookiees:

Will the women of the club be participating by not shaving their pubes?
