After Disco Biscuits shows at 930, their fan message board always contains funny tales of woe portraying staffers as the bad guy. There is bound to be a chuckle-worthy account of mellow-harshing or ten and after this most recent two-night stand, they aren't disappointing so far.
Watch the comedy here. (http://phantasytour.com/bisco/boards_thread.cgi?threadID=2047403)

I'm not surprised. I've been seeing shows there since I was 13 and never had someone in security be cordial with me. I used to be a camp counselor for the owners' kids. Nice guy, but far too conservative to be owning the 9:30 Club. Always wondered if his politics played a role.

no problems what-so-ever. although i completely understand why staff of every venue would be dicks towards this fanbase.
teh lols!

I love how obviously skewed and phony each negative story sounds. And how entitled many of these pieces of shit think they are.

disco biscuits fans are even bigger idiots than hipsters

Why do you love it?
Is Seth really a conservative?

It's just so incredibly laughable.

personally I think several of those comments are right on. I think about half of the club staff are perfectly professional and courteous and I think the other half are so busy oozing bad-ass "attitude" that its laughable.

This sums up their fans to a T:

i strongly suspect that every one of those complainers is omitting an important fact, along the lines of:
- was busted for lighting up a smoke immediately prior to security tossing him out "for no apparent reason whatsoever"
- was too high to communicate effectively with bar staph prior to barkeep "becoming a total bitch"
- etc...
once again, i'd like to state that the 930 club has the best staph EVAR. these guys & gals are professional, courteous and friendly (maybe i need to specify "to folks who don't break rules"). there is nowhere i'd rather see a show and the staph are a huge reason why.
if i managed or worked at the club, i'd take that PT thread-o-whining as a compliment: the 930 doesn't cut it as a haven for over-indulgent, self-centered druggies. boohoo. i'll give some weight to the red bull not being red bull complaint, tho... should warn folks before serving it to them.
-
wow these disco fans are hardcore lol ;D
-
Does beer cost more upstairs? What are they talking about?
-
Agreed completely. Undeniably the greatest staff of any venue I've ever been to.
Re: the Red Bull thing, every time I've ever been at a bar at the club and heard someone ask for one, they are clearly told "we don't serve Red Bull but we have Roaring Lion. It's like a generic Red Bull." They are always told this word for word.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have the coup de grāce:

does that mean it has generic bull semen in it?

Rhino semen, perhaps? Or maybe buffalo?
Or...uhh...lion?

Agreed. But this is pretty typical for venues methinks.

I expect staff to roll my joints for me while I watch and cut me some lines in the bathroom... ;)

Haha. At The National they help me tie off so I can shoot heroin as we all laugh about all the natural DC shows we've stolen!

But in all seriousness, jam band fans are insane people. That said, if the account is true (as several people claimed to have witnessed it) that a guy was trying to sell two tickets to someone at face and a staph member only let them sell one and confiscated the other, that's seriously messed up. I'd like to hear the other side of that story.
-
two possibilities:
1. there were two night tickets for these shows. they were specifically marked as "non-transferable."
b. guest list tickets may not be sold.
-

B seems reasonable, but he said he paid for it so it probably wasn't that. Probably the "non transferable" thing, he did mention in his story it had that on the ticket. I thought all tickets.com tickets said that somewhere as boilerplate, but I went and looked at a stub and they only say "NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES" so I guess not.
I still would've given the kid the ticket back, although it's probably inevitable he walks a block away and sells it out of sight, so I can't fault the staph member if that's what the scenario was.
-
Just one more example of the entitlement/"I am above the rules" complex that plagues this crowd. Non-transferable means non-transferable. End of story.
P.S. WTF is "jerry powder"?
P.S.S. It sucks to see personal attacks such as these towards some of the nicest people ever. :( Thread started out funny and has gotten ridiculous.
-
P.S. WTF is "jerry powder"?
no idea, i was wondering the same thing. powdered MDMA crystals? TFMPP (aka "molly")? BZP?
-
I agree with big important facts being left out. I was at the club and someone who was an aquantance of a friend went to a show with us. Got kicked out.
The story was amazing in that in no way was it her fault, but somehow she tried going back stage to tell "the guy" (who no clue) that she wasn't trying to go back stage, and it just went down hill from there. It was truly an onion story, layer after layer coming out, to where all you could think was "And they didn't arrest you?"
Yeah, details like the two day tickets on the 930 site said non-transferable, so doing so in front of staff is just stupid. The tossing of the red cup I think is the one closest to reality, but hey he was allowed to stay in with the xx's after being told holding a drink would get him tossed out. Then again he probably was coherent enough to say what was going on.
-
What is it about these people that they think the rules don't apply to them?
If you are stupid enough to sell tickets in front of staffers, you deserve to have your ticket taken away. It is pathetic that someone would have to get x's on their hands because they don't trust themselves to not buy beer to drive their friends home safely.
**stepping off soap box now**

Yesterday while driving on the highway, I danced with danger and drove 56 miles an hour. Ha Ha Ha! I'm above the rules and feel holocaustically entitled to do so! The story continues!

I've heard that he's secretly Amish.

don't blame the band . . . just the fans. it's what killed phish the first go around and will likely claim many more bands as victims in the future. so many fans just can't seem to wrap the mental around the fact that it's not just them in the game. i am a numbero uno biscuits fans; flat out worhship them. we all don't act like drugged out drool fiascos milking the blame game when personal consumption of every intoxicant possible becomes interrupted by "the man." the music alone and the live experience is what keeps some of us coming back, and yes a lot of us do realize that venues have to protect themselves at ALL costs when it comes to people toking up, or doing much worse, possibly into an dj am inspired overdose flatline of "should've/could'ves". the end.
oh yeah . . . allman brothers and widespread panic fucking killed it in charlotte, nc over the weekend. nice.

Hah one guy claims that his girlfriend was drugged by a 930 bartender at that show. Who would waste good drugs on one of these clowns?

Here's another cute thread that should help the rest of your workweek go by. (http://phantasytour.com/bisco/boards_thread.cgi?threadID=2069739&page=1)
-
The roofie drink doesn't surprise me. A friend of mine was drugged at the recent Sunny Day Real Estate show. It takes all kinds.
-
It's about time for this to be bumped.
Hopefully we get something equally hysterical on Wednesday.
-
if the DBs were cheaper than $30, i'd consider going just to see what kind of sh*t-show goes down. i don't think this will be a big enough train wreck to justify 30 bones, tho.
-
db on 420.
-
Watching Madgypsy work that night will be worth more than the $30.
-
For a moment there I thought maybe the db's were getting together for an overpriced reunion tour.
-
it is amusing how a band and its interest to you can be manipulated by what songs of theirs are played by one's musical source of choice, mine being mainly sirius radio. the disco biscuits or bisco whatever, first came on strong to me as the, "band of why didn't i like it before this?" electronica jam. nice. then they did this free web stream of one of their shows a month or so ago to promote the release of their new album. wow. what a strange difference. but then i never knew them or saw them as a live band five years ago, so maybe something just happened. but the overall effect was sloppy, misdirectional, and totally turning the audience into a state of "uhmm, do we like this?"
but who really cares . . . the real talent will be on 13th between e and f on that evening. the staph should switch places with the security they normally use at the warner for the night. you'll have a more polite "oh, i'm sorry i bumped into you and spilled half your beer. here, let me buy you another. where ya from, mate?" time.
-
I would pay $30 to see the DB's you're referring to.

Yeah, I've been scouring and...nothing.

well, if this doesn't pan out, we can always look forward to:
HULAWEEN 2010
Friday, October 29 with The Disco Biscuits
Saturday, October 30 A 3-Set Evening with The String Cheese Incident
Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, Virginia

I saw the Disco Biscuits at the Warner a few years ago (2 and half I think).
Just awful. One of the worse shows I have seen.
Last night I heard of a guy who went to Panic and then the Biscuits..

"well i did have an encounter while trying to get a mid show bowl in down the street by where the gear truck was parked...
went in this alley and realized it wasn't legit and came right back out and got questioned by the douche in the kiss shirt and he was all like, what were
you doing behind my office.
and i wanted to be like fuck you, but i was wasted off my ass and made up a story. sucessfully evading any trouble at the door for re-entry. all and all
a good nite."
Yes!
"Douche in the kiss shirt"!
Hahahahahhahaha!
-
Apparently, word has gotten out amongst all the Disco Crackers not to screw around in or anywhere near the 9:30 Club.

From the DC Intern blog...very funny.
Spotted: Underage and Weepy at the 9:30 Club
I showed up to a sold out show sans ticket hoping to score an extra from someone out front. I was having awful luck and every other person on the street looking for extra tickets found them except for me....and I wasn't interested in paying $60. The band was already on their first or second song and I was about to give up and walk away when all of a sudden two interns were escorted out by the bouncer. (Granted, I did not see exactly why they got tossed, this was just the aftermath and it had something to do with being underage and alcohol.)
Intern Girl 1 to Bouncer (slurring and getting loud): But you cant throw us out, we didn't even do anything!!!
Bouncer to Intern 1: Look, we saw you drinking so you've got to leave.
Intern 1 (getting more surly): Look, we work in Senator/Congressman _______'s office and this is just so messed up! How can you do this to us? (She literally name dropped her boss to the bouncer)
Bouncer to intern 1: Okay, you've got two choices, you can walk away and go enjoy the rest of your night somewhere else or you can explain your story to the police. Take your pick.
Bouncer to intern Girl 2: Whats your name? Let me see some ID
Intern 2 (voice getting shaky): says her name
Intern 2 (on the verge of tears): Am I going to lose my internship!?
The bouncer and I about lost it after this little performance. They took off and the bouncer let me buy their ticket from the box office for $25!
Thank you underage interns for making my night, it was a great show.
To intern girl 1: Did you really think anyone at 9:30 that night gave a rip who you work for, let alone the burly doorman?
To Intern girl 2: You will lose your internship, but not for this...just give this town another month.
-
i think the real question is . . . are bitter interns, hippies?
-
Depends on who they are interning for. If like Bernie Sanders or Patrick Leahy, probably (this isn't a dig at either of them. Just their state).
-
$20 says this went down at the passion pit show.
if i was working security that night, i would have been really tempted to (but wouldn't actually) say "oh, really? senator/congressman ______? why don't you give him a call, i bet we can sort this out together on the phone". ;D i wouldn't have done it, certainly no staph at the club would have said it either, but...
great story. epic DC douchiness.

I need to meet some cutie interns ;D

Have fun this weekend, staffers. (http://phantasytour.com/phish/boards_thread.cgi?threadID=2356306)

30 grams of ketamine? What were they running an animal hospital over there? (http://www.cbs6albany.com/news/safety-1276268-office-traffic.html)
Surprised there was no heroin or acid in that list.
-
30 grams of ketamine? What were they running an animal hospital over there? (http://www.cbs6albany.com/news/safety-1276268-office-traffic.html)
30 grams, not kilograms... that's a little more than an ounce. considering the number of druggies there, i'm surprised it's not more.
-
30 grams divided among only seven people max.
kind of a lot given the substance, no?
-
30 grams divided among only seven people max.
what makes you think all the K was split between only 7 people? the article states "The Schenectady County Sheriff's Office says it made seven drug arrests" but goes on to list 1000+ E pills, 4 oz of coke, 3.5 oz of coke and a bunch of pharmas... you don't think all that belonged to only 7 people, do you? i believe that the drugs were seized from dozens of people, but only 7 were arrested (rest were let off with a warning, given fines, ran away, etc).
but even by 7 people: that's 4 grams per person for a long weekend... a gram per 24 hours would be intense/stupid, but people do it. definitely not recommended.
-
If you get drugs confiscated at a roadblock, you'd have to be pretty crafty to run away. When was the last time you heard of people being caught with blow or E and given a simple warning or citation? Pretty sure those totals were what was turned up from the seven drug arrests.
-
i like how this thread has whining in the title. it fits . . . seeing how it is nothing more than a bunch of people, mainly azag, whining about what hippies do.
-
Not whining. Just posting about amusing things that hippies do.
Not gonna lie. This whole culture based around degeneration and entitlement fascinates me. I would totally watch a Phish lot/Disco Biscuits tour reality show.
Haven't you ever wandered upon PBS or Nat Geo and found yourself transfixed on some nature show? This is like that for me; only never-ending.
Exhibit A (http://www.phantasytour.com/bisco/boards_thread_print.cgi?threadID=2121701)
-
well he's a whiner of everything. i've been trying to leave him with the prostitutes on U street but couldn't find anyone. any ideas? maybe i can find some in SE?
-
that total drug seizure amount most probably includes what security found. they would have simply confiscated in most cases.
in the middle of a festival, with people and potential trouble everywhere, i can see cops finding small amounts of drugs and not arresting the person(s). do you think they're going to arrest every joint smoker at camp bisco? an arrest = several cops out of commission while they take evidence, fill out paperwork, transport the suspect to jail, make a statement before a magistrate, fill out more paperwork...
i do agree that a large portion of the haul was with those 7 arrested... just not all.

What's a "wook"?
-
a wook is a name that people (who think they are better than said people) gave to said people because they appear as a wookie from star wars. "a lot of dirty mattted hair, wild howling and not being able to be understood." which is odd, because chewbacca looked pretty clean to me.
-
Speaking of... (http://passedoutwookies.com/)
-
what's worse:
a hippie who's all fucked up on god's knows what, dancing and having a great time.
a brah frat boy fucked up on beer, with hat backwards, high 5ing everyone and date raping you.
a yipping girl fucked up on air in her head and who won't shut up the whole show.
