Actually, surprisingly a lot of family & old people reliving their youth. Seemed well controlled. I got started early & wasn't out too late but pretty harmless fun.
the key to be a doorman is to take the biggest guy in the world, shatter his knee and he'll drop like a stone.
Mark Gras- its a mix of everyone. Sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads....Kind of a microcosm of Houston. Not a lot of thugs because there's a gate charge to get in to the strand area. Tsunami Bar during Mardi Gras is an overflow of the crowd earlier on, then it fills up with people in their 20s and 30s after 9, every different race, just normal people. Tons of pretty girls. I'd say it's a 50/50 mix of men and women. No thugs, no gang ****. It's a cool Tequila bar, and they serve other liquor and beer. Really laid back staff. Classic, if you're around, swing by and say hi.
Hittin bloody Mary's at Jimmy's on the seawall right now, not headed back to strand but thanks for the invite. Have fun!
Awkward gritty approach works for Omer Asik, whatever's effective I rambled, but I did NOT MEAN to say I was actually a GOOD doorguy I didnt do it that long. And I only did it in a small lowkey place that didnt charge cover. And it wasnt in a strip of many nightspots where people go hopping in and out. Neighborhood bar doorman and Club bouncing with cover are different. I get a lot of my "Holiday Express expertise" from knowing people who do it as their main living. I might do it again later in a couple months though (I'm in the west coast) Nice that you enjoyed it some. Its a headache dealing with a-holes of all kinds. Though being in vicinity of loosened up women just seems to make things a bit more bearable. And I seemed to see the same thing in who walks away with the chicks, that experience can trump style. And you still have to have SOME kind of "game" more than just MMA stylings. Yeah youthful appearance generally counts most, but kinda encouraging to see that older gents can get some work done. (Helps to have some money and stability do the talking). Knowing all that, I still suck ass with women so whatever. But I still call it like I see it.
