I did my Hot Dog Cart thingy from around 9 til 2 AM at the biggest club in Mesa County. Dig this, in New Orleans it's always been 18 for boos. Here it is 21, but this club had a stamp for those under 21. They were in one side, and the 21 and older to 50's maybe some 60's on the other side of the club, but they shared the dance floor. Packed 400 to 500 people a night on weekends. This place was huge.

I had to go in to check it out for 10 minutes, which was 9 minutes and 50 seconds too long for me. The volume was really ridiculous and of course it was a DJ. God I hate DJ's! They don't know a Zb from a Q# for the most part. Oh there might be 2 exceptions.

People here don't know what a OMB is in Clubs, only the Farmer's Market and a night thingy gig from time to time in a City Park.

I did one club gig with my sax a year or two back and couldn't hear myself through the sound system. It was miserable. I can't stand it. In my day the bands who played loud were the guys who really couldn't play well. They used wrong chords and tried to cover it up with volume. I've always considered it pathetic.

The club closed last year after a gunfight and death outside. You should have seen this place poppin. I mean Blacks, Mexicans, Whites, Orientals you name it. We have a pretty large university here for such a small town. We have exchange students from every country on earth probably. What I mean is it's amazing with all of the people in the world who hate other people because of their race or religion, I'm surprised there was only one killing in the place with all of the different cultures and the boos etc. There were fights often. This club had 10 or more 250 to 300 lb bouncers. I gave them all free Hot Dogs. No one was going to mess with me. Ha ha.

Anyway if they closed all the clubs in America up it wouldn't bother me a bit, as long as they leave Taco Bell, McDucks, Wendy's and Burger King open, (that's all I can barely afford.)

This is Gary's damn fault. He got me going on the loud music and DJ's. Man I hate DJ's.
