So. Last night was the Bella Morte CD release party. They played, which equals a huge Crowded House of Doom... but the madness was more than the usual amount.
Now I know that when you're expecting a sell-out crowd, you are going to get some shenanigans and incidents... but good lord. We had an abduction and burning of a treasured squeeky toy [along with some general obnoxiousness and completely childish and rude behaviour from those involved with the burning]; we had someone get so trashed that he started spewing and had to be escorted out before the first band even started; we had fights [almost never happens atthe club]; we had a very lovely girl get hit on the head and pass out during the Morte's set. Overall: madness. I am completely not amused. As I say, I expect some dumb shit to happen, but a lot of the shit that went on was from locals who only ever come out when BM plays, and they didn't do much for our reputation. And, most importantly, I hate rudeness, and most of the crap that happened, happened to FRIENDS of mine. Needless to say, I am frustrated and embarrassed. I really couldn't have changed anything, but that doesn't stop me from being annoyed by this sort of shit.
*sigh*
I didn't get in bed last night until 4:30. I went to sleep without even taking a shower; I didn't even care that I'd had beer, soda and water dumped on my at various points in the evening. I was pooped and exausted.
I'm looking forward to the almost month of no bands during the Holidays.
I will mention that of course Bella Morte rocked. Atsushi did his performance with the Dirty Round Eyes, and that was also excellent, although I don't think some people understood that he's the man responsible for us having a venue for our club. Andy was supposed to get up on stage and introduce them, but I don't think that happened.
Whoops.
We broke all attendance records last night, and I'm pleased with that, too. Now if some of 'em will come out more regularly... yeah.
