Oh I forgot to add - I cut people off when they're so drunk they
puke on stage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


NO PUKING!!!  LMAO PLEASE

I saw a drunk woman try to leave the stage after singing a song and she walked right into the karaoke monitor and stand and she knocked it off the stage and onto the dance floor. To see that monitor hit the floor with a big bang was not too cool and the KJ let everyone know he was not too happy. The monitor kept working but when I talked to John he was saying someone had just ruined one of his monitors about two weeks earlier so this was not a first time. He was worried he was out another. (Not so this time)

I remember one night at karaoke that the KJ was extremely sick. I talked to him and he was sneezing, dripping, breathing out his mouth, kleenexing (?) etc. What is odd is that I didn't ever figure out that maybe I wouldn't want to grab that mic and sing. I did and got sick the following evening. My friend Bill (planet_bill) said he cruised back to the bar when Jimmy Lee was shaking peeps hands when we arrived because he could see how sick he was right away. (Hey Bill! How about telling me what you thought was obvious!) I wound up sick, so yes it does happen.  :withstupid:

I steer people clear of bringing their drinks anywhere NEAR my karaoke area... it's really funny... someone will sit it down, and I'll pick it right up, or even put my hand out to keep them from sitting it down. They'll give me a look like "WTF"??? and I'll point at my electronics and say "are you ready to pay for any of this if this drink goes "bam?" They usually go "OH!" as in the lights are suddenly on!

I would have told the girl that allowed the speaker to go bang "Congratulations... you've just bought a speaker. That'll be $400!" $50-$60 in damages??? you might have problems down the road with it that are related to the fall on that night! Could be a minor crack in the case that suddenly one night vibrates the heck out of the accoustics, a broken solder connection, the driver could get a heck of an impact shock and start the process of breaking down...

Not saying any of that would happen, but they ARE scenarios that COULD happen!

To answer this post... I've not told anyone they're too drunk to sing... but I have denied them the cordless mics, or made them write their own slip! I had one drunk would ask the gal next to him to write his slip up for me, and when he brought it up, I told him "no way did you write this!" (cause it had a great flowing script... sorry, most gals write wonderfully, where most of us guys have awful penmanship.) He said he was too drunk to read the book and write it down, and I told him, "Well, you're too drunk to follow highlighted words on the screen and to be trusted not to drop my expensive microphones!"
