Tequila brains By casual (Read 534 times)

[casual]

A new Carl Strauss opened up within knee walking distance from my place.

It is a very nice place that brews beer on the premises. All the great tap equipment to deliver beer at 33 degrees, just a nice place.  It has large screen TV all around the building showing different events.

My buddy, also known as "Tequila Brains" was with several friends visiting last weekend. The place was packed. During happy hour the beer is cheaper and they server 7%+ beer. Tequila Brains was hammered. No problem we are walking home....until.

Tequila Brains announces "If that guy across the room doesn't quit looking at me I am going to be upset."

I look across the room at the guy, then I look above Tequila Brain's head at the large screen displaying European football.

"Hey Tequila Brains, look up".

It took a few minutes.

I told Guitarman this story and he's told me a couple about gigging around. I played in a successful quartet up in Toledo for years. Paid my way through college and more. But we played wedding receptions and it sucked lugging all that equipment around. So this cat calls me up and offers me a long term gig at a bar. I talked it over with the guys and they said sure, steady money, leave the equipment there, it was a no brainer.

So we set up and played a few nights. The place wasn't real busy but kinda. Girls were always there and guys would come in and talk to them and then they would disappear. After a few more nights I noticed the girls would reappear and sometimes disappear again, with another guy. Then I noticed they were disappearing through a door at the back of the bar. I thought it was none of my business plus the bouncer...Guido...was so big when he opened his mouth a refrigerator light came on. He never smiled either, very creepy. Best not to get too nosy.

One night we were working through the last set and the front door bursts open and a bunch of cops come flying in with shotguns screaming "get on the floor". All of the patrons and girls had obviously been through this and hit the floor like commandos. Being a bunch of dorks, the band just stood there staring open mouthed. A cop comes up and says "did I not say get on the floor?" I croaked "we're the band" like that explained everything. He said "are you guys really this stupid...it's a brothel". I said "apparently we're that stupid". He told us to pack out crap and get out. It turned out we were the legitimacy band, there to add some cover for what was really going on. Dang, that was easy money too...and the tips were great!

Turned out one of the cops knew my Dad, Toledo was a big/little town. He knew me from being at the house and got us out of there. And yeah, I was kinda naïve, I thought everybody was just real friendly!
