Bellangé Von Gustafson, European Director of WLWL (Wait list for the wait list) texted me a picture of a Black Bay and said maybe in 3 months, ‘best we can do’…

This is absolutely unacceptable!!!!!

You got hit with an All Are Welcome charge too? Happens to me whenever cousin Lennie sneaks in at our Club parties ...

Lennie. Geez. What a loonie. He's the one who keeps his sneakers in the freezer.

I would have argued that the "Unmet minimum" fee of $30 be waived, but otherwise, looks right in line with corporate expense policy!

WAIT!!!

Dude, you got ripped off man. That Unmet Minimum charge should have been removed. Your butler should call and complain to the owner of that shady place.

Nothing good ever happens at the Electric Daisy Carnival after 12:22AM…

But may I introduce you to our Welcome Service staff? Worth every penny methinks.





And the eclectic manner of services offered?




And of course, the typical party…




Priceless is how I describe the Rolex delegates…
