xianeObviously yesterday was my Unbirthday.
FOUR presents! All completely awesome and random! You guys, you are so wonderful to me. A silver squidge from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seeliespright! A lovely African Violet In A Purple Pot from xymoxed and bekesseg! Delightful earrings [handmade!] from brokenme85! And a Devil Duckie Decal for bath tiles from javafiend! Yaaaaay!
Seriously, I have no idea how I got so lucky. you guys rock.
The Dawning went, for the most part, very well.rat_bastard and I had a great time DJing, and fiendmorte did awesomely at his Deathrock DJ debut. He even got people on the floor when he spun "... John Cole" by those weird Brides folk. Not an easy feat; the 10-11 slot is notoriously hard to get people motvated during!
There was some drama, and I'm not going to discuss details other than to say this: You've been warned, people. Underage drinking will NOT be tolerated, and lying to my face about it will gain you scorn and loss of respect.
Just for the record:
NO ONE has the permission of the staff or owner to drink underage at The Outback. If they tell you differently, THEY ARE LYING.
If someone tells me that you are drinking and I come to talk to you, don't get pissed at the person who told me! They ACTUALLY CARE about the club - unlike YOU. And if you'd like to argue with me about that, let me point out - you're the one that will get us shut down, not them. If you have a problem with that, DON'T COME TO THE DAWNING! WE DON'T WANT YOU!
If I see you drinking or see evidence of it, or someone independently admits to buying you a drink - DON'T LIE TO ME ABOUT IT! I'm not fucking stupid. And you'll make an enemy of me, where once you had a friend. I will cease to cut you any breaks.
I NOW HAVE POWER TO BAN YOU, sanctioned by the owner. I WILL USE IT.
Seriously, this is the stuff that makes me want to quit running The Dawning. I'm really tired of playing mommy to people who obviously don't care about anything but their own pleasure. It's unfortunate that this is only a small percentage, but they have the potential to ruin it for all the decent, caring club-goers... but for each single person who stands up and point out an issue, there are several more who sanction the underage drinking. And for those who suggested that we go to 18+, I hate to say it - but it's the 18-20 year olds who are often the worst at the underage drinking thing.
If we went 21+, the night would die, and besides, that's really anti-Dawning. I *want* to have a place where everyone can go. I'm tired of worrying that some irresponsible, selfish drunk is going to ruin it, though.
*sigh* okay, enough of that. DJing was great, there were some great conversations to be had. I left feeling overall pretty good about the night. I love everyone who comes to the club, even if they're currently being a butthead about things. Tonight's SubShock, and somehow I scored tomorrow OFF!
Okay, back to brooding and quesadilla.
