Song Bidding War...

Post by Bigdog »

Last night in the last hour 20 new people came in. In the different groups that meant another 8 new singers.

It was the old...hey we're all drunk let's go to karaoke. :shock: :evil:

And they all ended up right in front of my table. :roll:

After I reach the end of my scheduled 4 hours I decide when the plug gets pulled. If everyone is acting normal I'll keep going, if they are acting goofy...it's lights out.

Last night I was running out of time and I wanted to shut it off quickly. I still ended up play an extra 15 minutes.

I started telling people they couldn't sing again. I told at least 5. Some of those were regulars but my time slots were full.

Then the song bidding started.

One guy pulled out a wad and started peeling off ones. ($5)

One guy started at $10 and quickly went to $20.

One guy said he drove all the way from New York city all day and deserved to sing another song. :shock: He needed to sing a country song to make him feel good. (No money....)

Well none of them sang again. I held my ground. Even when I did stop many people were complaining. I have learned to shut off my hearing and emotions at the end of the night. When it's time to pull the plug...it's time and nothing prevents it.
