It's a rainy week here in the City of Angels so I've been reminiscing about the great summer I had. It reminded me of a story a friend and fellow promoter told me about his first time at XIV in the summer.
XIV Sunday afternoons in the summer were as good as it gets in LA. The heat was on, the house music blaring, and the 9's and 10's were dancing in the booths overlooking Sunset Blvd. Traffic slowed to a crawl as gawkers and passers-by stared slack-jarred in disbelief, wondering what the hell was going on in broad daylight on week's sabbath day.
My buddy and his friends get a table and a few $500 bottles of vodka. Eventually a random girl comes by and starts fixing herself a drink. My buddy's friend - we'll call him Mark because that's what the girl thought he was - engages her:
Mark: "Hi"
Bottle Rat: (not making eye contact, continues pouring) "Hi"
Mark: (louder, like he's rudely interrupting) "HI!"
Bottle Rat: (continues pouring, still barely acknowledging his existence) "Hi"
Mark then grabs the full drink out of her hand, puts his hand over the terrace balcony and turns the cup upside down, pouring heavily marked-up Grey Goose into the bushes outside.
Mark: "Get the fuck out of here"
In the words of Ali G....Respect
Be a Mark and not a mark and don't let bottle rats ruin your night.

Hahaha..
I can totally see this happening. Get bottle service and all of a sudden you have a bunch of new girls who want to chill with you for a bit.
Thank God I never pay for bottle service...
Thing of beauty. Chicks like that aren't used to hearing no, and she obviously gets away with that night after night with no push-back. To not even try to chat you up first was particularly ballsy, and to not even look at you while mooching your booze is the height of disrespect. Kudos to Mark for really letting her know that what she did was uncool.
I love it...
More guys absolutely need to do this...
There are even "5's and 6's" trying this shit on MF's in VIP thinking that they are 9's and 10's...
