After much suspense, which I will tell you about, I made it
Saturday night was Amateur Night, which I won by default, being the only participant, but still went through with it all the way. I danced to one song (Orgy - Blue Monday). The place was a full house, the crowd was totally into it. One of the comments I remember the DJ saying was "Are you sure you're an amateur?! I don't believe it!" Actually I owe that to this forum. Thanks guys!!
After my dance the bouncers and some of the girls told me I did exceptionally well considering I was the only one and could have done the bare minimum and still won. They told me I should totally come back and audition one of these days.
Well, I went back today (Monday) to do just that. I arrived and met the manager, he told me the basic rules and then led me to the dressing room to get ready. Back there, I met a few more of the girls and picked out 2 songs on the jukebox. I chose Saliva - Click Click Boom, and Chavelle - The Red. One fast, one slow.
After the girl before me was finished I went up.. It was significantly emptier today obviously :p It's a lot harder to dance when there's nobody to dance for!! So I did my best with what I had, got a few guys to come up, one guy came up for seconds which made me feel a lot better. Noticed the girl before me didn't pick up a few of her tips so after I was finished I grabbed them intending to give them to her, but she had left before I was finished so I kept them (what do you do in this case?? I wanted to leave a good first impression, so I at least tried to give them to her).
-- This is where the suspense really started building --
The girl before me was denied outright, which made me really nervous, but I knew it was because she was not so great (a few of the guys who tipped me commented on how I seemed much more confident than the last girl).
So I head back to the manager's office and knock on his door, but he's busy at the moment and says to wait a moment. I end up waiting like 35-40 minutes for him, each minute passing I think "this is a bad sign, he forgot about me or something, no way I made it" but eventually he lets me in and apologizes like 50 times. As he starts to say something, the DJ comes in and says one of the girls isn't here and she was supposed to be on by now, so manager has to make some phone calls, suspense is buildinngggggg.... Then he gets off the phone and starts to talk again but the phone rings. I start giggling out of nervousness.
FINALLY he goes "alright, still want to work here?" and then writes down some info and says to call back on wednesday and get my schedule
I made it!!
