Just a bit of a rant( a little long)
First of all, I got a new computer for my b-day, but my password got messed up. I was "Corey" and had like 470 posts over three years. So, now I'm starting over.
But...that's not what I'm ranting about. Yesterday, we hit a heat wave here in LA, CA. I live near the beach but I work over the hill in the "Valley" where it is always at least 10-15 degress hotter. It was about 90 or so when I rolled into work @ 10PM.
When I drove up, I noticed the back door open, w/ a fan. (the back door is NEVER open). I thought that was weird, but then I saw the front door open. I KNEW it!! The f(*&cking air conditioner broke!!!! We only had four fans in the whole club >:(
I almost paid 1/2 my house fee and walked out. I had a free pass to see my friends band play in House of Blues in Hollywood, I was invited to a private screening of The Omen....but NO, I honored my schedule and responsibilty! Damn!!
Lets just say I danced to a lot of slow R&B so I could just slither and not dance :'(

At the club I worked at this winter, the heater broke three or four times and it always took them forever to repair it. On those days, we all danced in our coats, hats, and mittens. Miserable. But, in retrospect, funny.

I worked at a club for oever two years that did not have A/c.. It was never installed.. Sweaty may be sexy. but drenched is not!

That's crazy...I live in Scottsdale but work in a club in Phoenix. It's 110 here. Yesterday the AC went out in the dressing room and I was already hot and sweaty from stages( the club is usually hot anyway) so when I went back too freshen up and get the 'ol stripper spray ,it was like a sauna in there and I couldn't take it. It must have been 115 back there with no circulation and all the girls smoking like chimneys! I needed money so I just whipped my hair up into a bun and went back out there and gave guys sweaty (and probably stinky) dances..EWWWWWWWWW
But guys are sick no one noticed or cared! In fact, it turned out to be an OK night even though my hair was damp and the makeup was running. Crazy right?

Re: Just a bit of a rant( a little long)
I think that's dangerous! Someone could either pass out, maybe hit their head or worse, die from a heat stroke exhaustion! Stupid cheap ass clubs seem like they're always looking for a way to save an extra buck, hmmm, sounds like some customers we know! LOL!

They did fix the problem much later but they always keep the thermostat at like 78. I'm sorry but I'm moving constantly in a crowded bar and I would be a lot happier with a temp of 68....or less!
