Probably a Boston thing. People were so drunk and stupid they were requesting songs that I was actually PLAYING while they were asking for them. Somebody stole the door to the stall in the mens room where I was working. Hope it looks good in their apartment. Talk about giving alcohol a bad name! Sometimes I think they should check IQ's along with ID's. Ah, but whaddya gonna do?!

I suppose tales from the dark side of the drinking life have to be occasionally aired, especially if they serve as an admonition to stay home on Amateur Nights like St. Paddy's. Of course, some places are just magnets for vile drinking behavior, anyway. I remember an early visit to the now-mercifully-shuttered 711 in the Back Bay, where the mens room had vomit all over the sinks, probably undisturbed from the previous night. (Note to self: in future, beware any restaurant/bar/club that names itself after a convenience store.) Wow, heinous — just heinous.
