House of Blues

Sunday nights I can often be found at House of Blues’ Service Industry Night in Orlando. If you actually FIND me, touch me when you try to talk to me. It’s pretty loud and I tend to tune stuff out too.

Anyway, I get there and some guy seems to be following me around. Between that and the fact that my favorite bartender, Noel, was not there tonight made me feel rather uncomfortable. I stayed anyway.

As usual, I didn’t really talk to anyone. I traded some smiles but that’s all. I don’t really like to go alone because I look like I’m alone. Then, if I go with one person I look like I’m on a date… It’d be nice if a group of my slack-ass friends would show up consistently.

I was standing by the bar near the door and this guy comes up to me, obviously with a nice buzz going.

"You work here, don’tcha?"

"No," I replied.

"Ah, well you look very professional," he says.

"Uh, thanks."

With that, he walked off into the crowd. That’s not the first time someone thought I worked there. Why is that? I wonder what he would’ve said to me if I said I was an employee.

Do I look like a bouncer or a manager? I was wearing a blue button-down shirt tucked into black slacks. I wasn’t exactly wearing HoB identification. bleh

I stuck around for a while trying to enjoy the music and finally left around 2. At least I got out of the house.
