Pub rant !
Its simple, start with mellow, pump up the volume when its past eight..make it thoroughly boisterous by 9 and bring the roof down by 10. And of course when its nearing that 11 p.m deadline we all dread ,mellow the place down with the usual dose of eagles and doors.
A bunch of guys ( code jocks ) sitting at a table beside ours were getting a little restless. While they were booing pink-floyd's "wish you were here", the DJ was hijacked by a bunch of metal heads with a penchant for ozzy and maiden. The booing jocks then resorted to dancing. Oh boy..! My friend calmed me down saying this is sort of entertaining, in a twisted, Nelly meets Hetfield, obnoxious sort of a way..
Post 11, after the music stopped and the lights came on and when we were just about to leave, things started to get ugly. Real ugly..!
The owner said he didn't believe in filtering because its impossible to differentiate. He went on to say that he's proud of the fact that his pub is the only one in the city which has never felt the need to hire bouncers and all that jazz! Sounds nice and poppish to shoot one's mouth off to claim all that, but when you foresee things taking an ugly turn, its best to bring in some muscle to get things under control. Purple haze learnt it the hard way!
The fact remains, if you have a massive mob making loud obscene gestures at unsuspecting women, misusing camera phones, hijacking the DJ, or most importantly booing floyd, then it needs some serious amending!! Besides, trouble is not impossible to foresee.
Why do i care? Because its Legends of Rock, Kormangala.
