If anybody has still been holding out on going to the New Viewpoint located on 82nd and Lombard let me just start this off by saying you're lucky. Nothing personal against the owner Paul Hoosen, a biker and former Super Market owner. I actually like the guy and would really like to see him succeed but unfortunately after one night of my band playing the venue I can already see that it has all the ingredients for failure and disaster. On our way into the venue we had everyone glaring at us wondering what the hell we were doing there, since the employees all look like hardcore gang bangers and the whores they pimp. That is of course aside from the owner Paul, the only one that looks like he has any legitimate street cred from his days riding. I couldn't help but display a maniacal smile each time one of these wanna be thugs tried to stare me down. However the ridiculous employees aside, all the girls looked like flat chested preteens, and the DJ had no clue what he was doing as he put the same CD on repeat throughout the night. If this wasn't bad enough they didn't even have a liquor licenses and the food that they did have was atrocious.
As we were setting up our equipment we had to do some inventive cord and power strip wrangling since they only had two power outlets each 30ft from the stage. This isn't even taking into consideration that we had to find a PA at the last minute because the PA that there homeboy of a manager and inept twit of a sound guy said would be more than enough, couldn't even be plugged into by more than a laptop or MP3 player. Nothing a real musician or DJ would even take a second glance at. Not to mention that even if we were able to plug in to their board we would have had to run 100 ft instrument cables to reach it. Of course after hearing that the only acts they have had in the venue aside from the poor excuse for strippers was rap and hip hop acts. Not surprising considering it takes little to no talent to be a rapper or hip hop artist in today's music industry since all you need is a mic and a MP3 player or Laptop. To make the night more amusing the strippers decided they would now refuse to dance to rock music and made an open protest by not even dancing to the crap rap CD that was being played. They just sat on stage and pouted while the so called Booker of these dancers taught them some moves. I don't know what I found more amusing, whether it was strippers forming enough of a thought process to have an opinion and make a stand or that they were being taken seriously and not fired on the spot. I'm sorry honey but you don't matter, there are a million more sluts willing to walk through the door, strip off all their clothes and take your place. Oh, not to mention the other girls will dance to Rock! No, you had to whine and drive away paying customers that witnessed your underage ass pouting on stage like some drugged up whore in a sex slave display.
As I walked up to the door to find out why people weren't showing up I found that not only were people walking away because there was nothing going on inside with the strippers, lack of alcohol, and crap food, but homeboy manager decided to jack the entry fee to more than double what we had agreed on. When i questioned him about this he simply said that he needed to make his money which almost earned a bitch slap right there. I simply pointed out the deficiencies in his business and how he couldn't expect people to pay something for nothing. He just laughed and continued to try and look hard for someone that probably got prison raped many times in his life. Luckily a few friends did make it through so we weren't playing to an empty house. We didn't have to suffer through the food that we did order because we also had pizza delivered, and we brought our own alcohol and partied in the back. Thank you to Thistle Stalk for partying and playing with us. No matter the size of the crowd we will always put on one hell of a show.
I'll end this with a little advice to owner Paul Hoosen. FIRE your loser employees because they are only using you for a job, the status of knowing the owner of a strip club, and the money they are undoubtedly stealing from under your nose. They will only drag you and your business down before moving on to the next kindhearted gullible sap. Then hire a crew that knows what they are doing, get a liquor license, and a real PA. You told me about the Super Market you sold and the 2 million you put into buying the business just so you could retire, have some fun and see some tits. Exactly what every hard working man has the right to do with his retirement, but it will quickly become a nightmare if you don't make a change. Good luck and I hope you heed the advice so you succeed.
