The $4000 Tee shirt
The $4,000 tee shirt
The “Pack of Wolves that I hung out with last week decided to go to a club that featured a Metal cover\tribute band (I think:). It’s not really my thing but I like to think that I have an open mind when it comes to music. After all I spent the early 80’s in Boston at Berklee playing anything from Jazz to Funk to Led Zeppelin and everything in between. So we took the $50 van ride to Pacific beach where the club was. Much to our surprise the line was out the door and around the corner. So, we waited. And waited. And waited. “Da Don” finally got to the front of the line only to find out that he (we) can’t get in.
It turns out that if you’re wearing a plain white tee shirt you can’t get in. IT’S PART OF THE DRESS CODE. A dress code at a metal club. Who knew? He tried explaining that it was a Calvin Klein $38 tee shirt. Also he had a really nice sweater over the top of it. You couldn’t even really see the tee shirt. They didn’t care. We pulled ourselves out of the line to discuss the situation. I personally wanted to see who they let in and what they were wearing. Sure as I’m sitting in my foo foo chair the next guy in line had a white tee shirt on with a skull and cross bones on it. I scream out “what’s up with that.” The POS at the door points out the dress code and tells us that, that shirt is OK. What?
Why not just tell us that you don’t want the old guys in the club. We ponder for a couple of minutes there in the street thinking to ourselves…….what just happened?
We notice another club across the street and decide to give it a try since we just spent the money on the van and we had a ton of people with us including the Intellinet crew. The guy at the door knew exactly what happen and called the other guy across the street a d**K.
What a great decision staying was. The club was awesome. It had a couple of pool tables, decent music (Henry hated it:) and a ton of people. What a show, if you like people watching. That’s the place where the two ladies were going at it. Man that was funny. So the $4000 tee shirt you ask? Well when we first told the story the shirt was $50. The next time it was $65. Eventually it got to $100 at which point we realized that this was hysterical (to us anyway). Prior to the $100 mark we weren’t exaggerating on purpose. Once we hit $100 for the tee we just got carried away. By the time we told the story for the last time it was a $4000 tee shirt. Probably one of the most expense tee’s ever, although Liberace had some killer tee’s:)
