The Holiday Drive

A night of rockabilly, custom hot rods, and burlesque, indeed. Let's not forget some kick ass BBQ provided by Swanky's Low & Slow BBQ, performances by The Ringerz Band, Elvis J (Elvis & Johnny Cash impersonator), and Black Weather Shaman. Topped off with some cool Hot Rods from the Saints and Sinners CC. Held at JD's Bar & Lounge.

This was a very interesting night. It started to become so a couple days before the show, when my wife received a phone call regarding her upcoming performance at the event. Apparently, the bar owner (who for the purposes of this blog will be referred to as crazy byatch), had reservations abut subjecting her regulars to a burlesque performer. Um, this is a bar right? Have you ever heard of any circumstances where they would deny a sexy, scantly clad woman gracing their establishment? Didn't think so. Thanks to the No Hard Feelings tattoo shop next door, and the smooth talking MC of the event, Ken, the performance was still a go.

This was not the end of the douchebaggery.

In the middle of Black Weather Shaman's performance, crazy byatch alleged that a couple of her regulars walked out, and went on the friggin' stage to tell them they had to stop. Never mind the other 100 or so people that were still inside. Instead of huffing and puffing, the band took their gear, and set up outside the bar, and proceeded to rock out, with a spirited performance nonetheless.

My wife, the Lovely Mrs. Morgan La Rue, put on a spectacle of sexiness as always, and had everyone crammed inside the tattoo shop, and standing outside the window. Take that crazy byatch! We took your crowd. I would say maybe next time don't be so prude, but I think she won't be getting that opportunity.

It was a night for two worthy charities, Toys for Tots, and the Daily Bread Food Bank, and at the end of all the B.S., the true human spirit came through and made it a rousing success. The people came through with 634 cans of food, and 300 toys.

My hat goes off to Ken, Kelly, all the performers, and No Hard Feelings tattoo shop, for not letting someone like crazy byatch, ruin what turned out to be an awesome night. Also to Swanky's Low and Slow BBQ, for their gut busting greatness. The night turned out to be good times with good people, good music, plenty of alcoholic beverages, and great food.

It goes a long way to showing that "real" people still exist.
