Speaking of Drags.

Last night, I had to work at The Warehouse. (Like I do every Wednesday)
It was one of those horrible nights where you keep telling yourself.. " a large group of people will be in aaaaaany minute now". That minute never comes, and you spent all night wishing you'd called off, or a power outtage or something would've come.

Every Wednesday, theres a drag show. Last night, one of the "higher ups" from Uptown was booked in the show. Along with said "higher up" came a follower, and a "lower down" that also performs there. Apparently, someone who has been doing drag for 10+ years, needs someone whose been doing it for 5 or so, to walk around holding up her dress.
Well...long story short, the "lower down" was stupid enough to leave some cd's and an MP3 player in his car in downtown toledo at night. Soooo it got broken into and the items were stolen. This bulletin was posted on Myspace.

" Sabotage on Dakota Desmond or some random CRACK HEAD Body: As you all know in the gay community that there have been a couple of un favorable events that have taken place at a particular bar in downtown Toledo. First I would like to start with the well known fight that left someone bloody and hospitalized. Not only was this a regular fight but the perpetrators had on BRASS KNUCKLES from what I was told. Secondly at this bar there are gay men who REFUSE to keep their hands off of people who dont want to be touched. That incident almost ended up bloody. Thirdly , my car was broken into and the items that were stolen were, tanning lotion, a CD case, and a 200 dollar MP3 player. I will not be accepting any bookings at Warehouse in downtown Toledo after tonight. I am posting this bulletin not only to warn you but to offer you a reward for anyone that finds my CD case with CDs in it. The case is black and green with grey edging. It is fairly new and isnt very dirty or used. Anyone that finds it please call me at 419 360 2493 and you will be rewarded. I am sorry to the owners and to the performers and patrons that wish to perform and attend this bar. My intent is not to bash and is not ruin business but there is no safe place to go downtown anymore. Thanks,DDR"


Now....Being as I'm employed there, I feel the need to shed a small glimmer of light on the things the "lower down" failed to mention.
First off, The fight that left someone hospitalized was my friend. I <3> There are lots of discrepencies in the story. He was attacked at not one, but two bars. And, most people are saying the purchase of drugs was involved. So...I mean.....You play with matches...Etc.etc.
Second of all.....The overly feely guy was kicked out, and is being sued. However, you're going to have pervy feely people no matter where you go. Whats the difference in a man grabbing at another man, or a man right down the street grabbin someones fake titties, and wanting to fuck her in the butt with her drag makeup still on?

Bars, are the most notorious places for fights. Thus why they came up with this idea for security guards, and bouncers.
You don't boycott Uptown everytime someone gets pushed down the stairs.
Several years ago, someone walked into Caesars, and started stabbing people.
I'd rather be punched in the face with brass knuckles, than stabbed in the neck. Wouldnt you? But, theres no boycott on that. Fights happen in bars. Everywhere.

Now, the funny thing...is trying to make your cd case, and your MP3 player, sound as important as someones physical safety. If it was so dangerous, why did you come down in the first place? And..knowing how life threatning it is...wouldn't you have kept your ever so important tanning lotion on your person, in case something were to happen.
The fact is, everyone...EVERYONE, who lives in Toledo and goes to the gay bars downtown, knows...that if you have something important (such as tanning lotion.... *snicker*) you don't leave it in your fucking car. Of course it's gonna get broken into and stolen.
I've seen cars get broken into for the the pennies (literally) in the car ashtray. There are hustlers and homeless folk a go-go downtown. You know this beforehand. So, take responsibility for your own ignorant moves. But that shit in your "murse" and bring it in with you. Put it in the trunk. Or....DONT FUCKING COME OUT. Last I checked, noones was beating down Dakota Roses' door saying "please...come to warehouse...we need your talent surrounding us".

To say you aren't accepting bookings, is funny...because you aren't being offered any bookings.... (because (and this is my personal opinion) you are horrible.) And...I think its hilarious that anyone can dare compare getting their tanning lotion and cds, to someone getting attacked, and needing facial reconstructive surgery.
Get over yourself.
MAybe if your head wasn't so far up your fat ass, you woulda thought for ooooone second. "hey.....i should bring my valubales inside. I know this place is known for such horrible things". So, if you're going to boycott things that are dangerous, I suggest you boycott your own brain.
It sure fucked you, and got your shit stolen.

Sucks to be you.

There's no need to be a punk bitch about it.
(This blog is soley MY opinion and does not in any way reflect the opinion of the bar or any other employees)

Oh by the way...the gloss on yer lips is out of control.

Here's to hoping some shady fag reads this, and sends it to Dakota Rose.

*rubs tanning lotion all over body*
