    A couple of good ones. (language)

    Typical week. Friday was awesome due to no derps whatsoever, but last night... okay, it was almost as good. Up until these idiots.


    Y'know, cell phones have clocks on them nowadays...

    Around 1:15am, a group of four walks up. The show's already over and we've closed our show entrance. I never in my life thought I'd ever have to answer this question at that point in the night, but sure enough...

    SC: Have the bands started yet?
    Me: Actually, the show's been over for the past ten minutes.
    ('Cause it has. The bands finished early.)
    SC: Are you sure?
    Me: (No, I'm fucking with you.) Yes. Our shows usually start between 8pm and 9pm.
    SC: Oh.
    (I card the group, they're all good, I let them in. Then I shake my head once they're inside.)


    Your shitty bar sucks, Zed!

    Small group around Last Call shows up. One of them's a regular who needs to drop something off, but the others aren't. They're about to run in past me, and I stop them. The first guy I card... well... 'Jack from Will and Grace.' With a nasty disposition.

    Me: ID?
    SC: June 15, 1989.
    Me: Do you have your driver's license on you?
    (Everyone but the regular walks off.)
    SC: I didn't wanna come to this shitty bar anyway.

    No skin off my ass. By the way, SC, the cops can be a hell of a lot more asshole-ish than me. Try your little attitude with one of them, and make sure someone's taping it so I can have a good laugh later.


    Only two stories today. Which is a good thing...

    Who goes to the bar and doesn't bring their ID?!

    :glances at webpage title:

    Oh. Right. Of course. Probably the same schmuck who doesn't bring his ID when buying beer or cigarettes.

    Would someone be so kind as to shock the gene pool?! It's long overdue.

      Ok, i know you mean shock as in chemically, but wouldnt it be so much more fun to drop a live power line wire into the kiddy gene pool where these people asexually reproduce?

        The guy just turned 21 and didn't think he'd be carded? He's either a moron for thinking that, or a lying moron for thinking anyone would fall for it.

        As for the late-comers, maybe they were from Victoria. No one is ever on time out here. I've gone to so many shows advertised as 8-10, and 90% of the audience doesn't show up until 9:30 or later, but it's ok, cause's the band doesn't start their first set until 10:30. It's a vicious circle: Nothing starts on time because everyone shows up late, and no one shows up on time because everything starts late.

        I volunteer in the summers as a stage tech with the Victoria Shakespeare Society, and we advertise our shows as starting at 8, though they never start before 8:20. But every single show there will be people still arriving over an hour later, and they're pissed off because the performance already started.

          I know somebody like that, but as far as I know she's not Canadian. She's late for everything (except her job). Used to show up at least an hour late for anything involving her group of friends. Once it was TWO HOURS but she thought she was "ONLY AN HOUR LATE." WTF?

                Thanks to a high number of fakes being used by university students back in Halifax. most bars ask for two pieces of ID. No matter how many times i would warn people about this they wouldn't listen.

                But I almost never get carded unless someone is acting weird. Like when a girl I knew was distracting the bouncer so her friend could sneak in, I had to wait in line for an extra twenty minutes. Then the bouncer looked VERY closely at my ID before I said I would provide extra ID if needed. But unless something goes weirdly I have NEVER been carded.
