Fractal Fanatic
In an effort to lighten things up around here I'll post a public service announcement for all working musicians on this forum.
Back in the 80's when Solo-Act and I were tearing up the 6 night road scene, we always wanted to determine the quality of the room we were booked in as quickly as possible. We had 2 fool proof methods.
1. Olives. The better the olives, the better the bar. If the waitress station was basically a salad bar that you could graze at during breaks it rated a solid 4 stars!
2. Urinal litmus test. Our most diabolical and most effective method. Every time one of us went to the mens room we would throw a few coins in the urinal. The higher quality the club the higher the total would get before someone would actually reach in and grab the money. If no one did there would be a nice tip for the janitor at the end of the night. We actually named some of the clubs after their results. "It's good to be back at the old 13 cents".
We would warn the waitresses not to accept change as tips!
Some day I'll tell you all of the fun we had taunting our arch enemy band "Electric Toy" and their groupies that we called the "Toy-lettes".
