Our gig was really, really weird…like a fall at terminal velocity from the Revival back to reality. The event was pushed back a half hour, and once we finally started playing, nobody would come into the room. For a while, it looked like this:
In a desperate attempt by the party planner to bring people to her event, she brought a ping pong table in…uh, ok. People began to come in finally, but they faced AWAY FROM US SO THEY COULD WATCH PING PONG! Holy shit! Then they broke out decks of cards, and people played cards and ignored us.
We had two people on the dance floor, but they didn't even make it through an entire song before they gave up. That's pretty much how it ended. Someone went to a guest room and got a clock radio so they could listen to rap while they played cards (while we loaded out).
After the event, I accidentally on purpose charged my room service to the client. Oops?
