a really bad idea? just curious as to what the penalties are. that is all.
-
dude, just take it outside and toke up in the alley if you need it that bad.
-
yes. if you are able to get past being searched at the door and you manage to light up, be assured that you will have your paraphernalia and weed confiscated, and you will be kicked out. the club implements a zero tolerance policy towards all illegal drugs and underage drinking.
-
and if you get caught doing it, besure to post about it here as it's been a too quiet in this parts. that would really liven things up a bit....

a few years ago I was at a Femi Kuti show with a friend who is a good dood but possessed of poor judgement, and to my surprise as the show was getting under way he whipped out a spleef of monstrous proportions and a zippo lighter. No sooner had he sparked up the zippo that staph descended upon him seemingly from out of nowhere, and had escorted him briskly to the door, leaving me to watch the show with only his seethingly hot date for company.
-
If they were to give you a pass they would risk losing their liquor liscense and the club. Since they don't sell pot they make no money off that, but they do make money of show and liquor. Therefore you will be kicked out post haste. And remember, usually one off duty cop is working security outside the club, so you might get a nice chat with them.

and don't even think of shooting up!

Large Dude standing in front of me at the Wilco show was smoking pot via a cigaretteish type of device. He had pre-loaded several of these things in his pack of cigarettes. 4 or 5 of those, plus the 8 beers, and he was a happy man....no staph spotted him I guess.

Thanks. Can I buy it at HotTopic?
-
man.. i couldn't tell you how many times i've been sitting at the tables in the corner and have seen people light up and then get busted within minutes. it's hilarious.

Saw guys working the sound board at a recent show working on a water bong with a long flexi tube. Staff seemed to not care. Hop heads worked for the band playing that night, not the club.

Good point, don't think one would wanted to the one held responsible for several people being out of work and for all the cool concerts that would end up at Nation now do you....

FYI - There are some forum members who instead of getting their kicks on crank, like to google screen names and see what turns up. Plus, one of the moderators gets a thrill doing reverse IP lookups. That same guy might be the one looking for you, the next time you show up at the club.

I've never done anything like this. I much prefer crank, preferably the really toxic bathtub variety. Bathtub crank has always appealed to my DIY sensibilities.

And then you took both your friends home and had a three way sandwich?

when i was a young and impressionable college student i used to bring a bat (or a chillum) all the time to shows and rarely had a problem ... but i'm smarter than that now =)
kosmo, are you really going to hunt this guy down just for asking about weed in the club?
-
No because I'm busy at work today... Unless of course they keep trying to be the court jester, because thats markie's job. And hey maybe thatguy is bored today...

i also didn't see how much of a douche this guy has been ... he insulted my honor and my manhood, if you find him, hold him for me so i can get in a swift kick to the balls.

actually, we took her to "Bound" and watched a bunch of ageing goths take turns whipping her with a cat o' nine tails.

You're really funny.
-
yeah, just go to the alley
-
Bong hits in the bathroom are always a wise choice.
-
Back to being serious, yeah right...I for one think more should be done to stop the underage drinking that goes on at almost every show I go to at the 9:30 club. The weed issue is handled pretty well in my opinion.

That is why security checks the bathrooms. Also bringing a bong into the club is pretty obvious. Bowls might get by, but your 4 foot USA1 hooka is going to be pretty obvious.

dude, are you over 30? Those "underage" people you see drinking are probably in their mid-20s. That's just how life goes.

Not when they have the big "X" or no stamp on their hand or however they do it on any given night. These folks (usually little teeny bopper girlies) are well underage. And they use such tactics as covering up their hands. It got to the point where I actually had to point them out to the staff. Sadly, nothing was done.

well really, the drinking age is bullshit anyway. I mean, people can go to Iraq and die or get maimed for their country when they're 17, but they can't be trusted to drink for four more years? So if this is some sort of moralistic crusade you're on, STFU, but if you're just worried about the club's license, then that's OK.
-
my 2 cents if anyone cares...
at a kottenmouth kings show maybe 4 years ago, went with my dad too, anyways, guy and girl were smoking, got escorted out, they had to sweep the entrance area for about 10 mins, and then the staph let them back in. i thought that was a very creative punishment.
-
Well the law against smoking pot is bullshit as well. Regardless, the 9:30 must work to see that there are no underage drinkers OR potsmokers breaking laws in their establishment, or they're in deep shit either way. Probably in deeper shit for the underage drinkers, since the 9:30 is the one serving up the alcohol.

Weak. Who cares if those kids are drinking? Guess you never drank when you were underage. What's next on your list, lobbying for prohibition?

I agree w/ Sailor Ripley. You ought to loosen up Hippo.

yeah, but I was mainly commenting on Hippo's self-appointed vigilantism.

I think we will need thatguy to chime in here. I can not imagine that they would not do something as underage drinking = loss of liquor license. How often are you going to use the term "any given night". Many nights there are shows that do not attract any teenybopper girls. Are you sure you are not talking about Nation?

i thought you were being sarcastic ... i still hope you are ...
back when i was under-21, 930 club was one of the tougher places to drink underage, i know tons of fake IDs from georgetown (that would work most other places in the city) that met their death at the hands of thatguy and his crew, we found out quickly that it just wasn't even worth trying ... and trying to smear that blue gunk off your hands? wasn't working
maybe we didn't show enough midriff ... although my heels were always killer back then

Shouldn't this be under the DUMBEST POST thread?
-
not a prohibitionist in anyway. Hell I brew my own beer. When it gets to the point where the underage drinking is having an effect on mine and other's enjoyment of the show, I'm sorry, but that's gone to far. And no, I didn't drink before I was 21. Not for moral issues, but becuase I just couldn't stand the shit. (That 21st birthday will always get ya) Ya'll are just spewing at how well the club is at ousting smokers, well, I have had an oposite experience(s). Sorry I don't kiss the ass of the club all the time like everyone else does....

that's weird. Why would (alleged) underage drinking have an effect on your enjoyment of the show? Unless they're throwing bottles at you? Ya wanna enjoy the show, watch the show and stop watching other people.

Question the reality all you want. And when they are stumbling into you, screaming their heads off, and paying no attention what-so-ever to the band or the folks around them, it effects other's enjoyment.

dude, at every show there are people of every age who act like assholes. There are teenagers and there are middle aged yuppies from Herndon who think they're still living in a frathouse. It has nothing to do with either age or drinking.
if you can't deal with annoying people, you might as well stay home. Annoying people are a part of life. And chances are, you're annoying to someone as well.
-
No need to start making this personal. I will refrain from replyinh again, you can continue your ass kissing.... :D
-
It's not kissing ass to point out that you're being a dork.

dude. you suck.
i second everything doom has said ... just because you were a loser (you NEVER drank before you were 21?!, you must have had a great time in college) doesn't mean you have to rain on the parade of normal people.
what the fuck does this have to do with ass-kissing the club?
-
has anyone ever watched that crazy show on pbs called "boobah" man, go chill out, have a strong drink or a left handed cigarette, and sit on your couches, or love chairs, or ikea linked combo, and watch that crazy show. :p

whomever is holding up that sign, you just know is dead or in jail by now. the fbi'm watching you, just loves when people double up their efforts to hunt your troublesome arse.
oh, and after boohbah, make sure to catch the rare episodes of sifle and ollie on mtv II.
did anyone see that awesome siouxsie show on vh1 classics last night. is that station for real? they play the strangest sets of music, then divert over now for something complete different.
-
after your done watching all that, flip over to adult swim and checkout the latest Seth Green creation "Robot Chicken", insanely funny stop animation stuff. Nature TV parody bits from the episode I saw...
The Mongoose: Natures Assassin
The Hyena: Nature's A**hole
The Lemming: Nature's Retard

To add my 2¢ worth... What someone else is doing, smoking, drinking, or any damn thing else is not part of the equation that makes my time at a show good. Hell I go to a show to have a blast and thast what happens. And not to kiss anyones ass but I have never been to a show at the 930 club where I have had the slighest reason to not have a good time. Christ I wish all the other places I see shows were run ½ as well as this club.

(BTW you like the computer nerd way I did ¢ and ½? :cool: )

I still put forth, I can not imagine that Security at the club would ignore underage drinkers. I have seen them very attentive to such things in the past. I still await thatguy's input.

I don't think there are *any* underage drinkers there. I've never seen such things. I think that guy was just bitter that he mis-spent his youth as a teetotaler, and is taking it out by harrassing lemonade-sipping teenage girls. Of course, it could be that I'm just kissing the club's ass, which I do admit is a necessary thing for all the free tickets, complimentary flutes of champagne, and VIP treatment I get when I go to shows there.

Oh there are underage drinkers. But they get caught pretty quick. I loved a while back the girl bitching that she was thrown out for "holding" the bottle of a friend while they tied their shoes. I guess it is possible to drink underage when the show is really crowded, but most of them just get drunk prior to entering the club. I had a friend from my youth would would "predrink" for an evening out to keep the overall costs down.
-
Not a good idea. We're not in Europe where I noticed that its not a problem. Enjoy a pint if you need some sort of fix. It never failed me before.
-
we do our best to enforce the rules of the club. i'm sure that some people get away with smoking pot, or drinking underage, or whatever from time to time. there is no possible way to stop every little thing from happening, but we do our best, which is better than most clubs in the country.
if a patron informs a member of the staph that someone is drinking underage, or smoking pot, or whatever, i would fully expect that staph member to investigate the situation. if we don't see it with our own eyes, we can't do anything about it. if, in the future, someone doesn't think that the staph is paying enough attention to a specific issue, i encourage them to ask for me or any other crew chief at the front door.
