Hey Shadow,
I hope the young lady who posted recently about finding a “safe†SC does not read all your 2:00 a.m. posts :)
As long as somebody reads them, I will keep posting them as a public service.
I always read them – keep posting
SC, thanks for the post. This one hits close to home but the Golden Nugget is not listed on TUSCL. Probably a local dive getto club?
And I read all your 2AM reports too.
Corvus - I did a Google search. That address is listed as the Doll House. Was that a club that closed down?
SC, not familiar with either the Golden Nugget or the Doll House. I seldom get to that part of town. Not the roughest nor the best area. But certainly not an area I visit after dark.
Golden nugget sounds familiar im pretty sure its a dive bar but i could be wrong
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl. Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina; Music would play and Felina would whirl.
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina, Wicked and evil while casting a spell. My love was deep for this Mexican maiden; I was in love but in vain, I could tell.
One night a wild young cowboy came in, Wild as the West Texas wind. Dashing and daring, A drink he was sharing With wicked Felina, The girl that I loved.
So in anger I
Challenged his right for the love of this maiden. Down went his hand for the gun that he wore. My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat; The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.
shadow love the 2am'er's. keep posting thme
Shadowcat:
I love reading your 2am'ers.
It reminds me of just how dangerous it is to have problems in a club, and to be aware of your situation, and to get the hell out of Dodge (in this case El Paso) before 2am.
I can solve this El Paso problem by moving the town to the Canadian border
I was in El Paso a few weeks ago. Golden Nugget and Doll House are in the same building. I stopped in on my walk from hotel to Cabaret. I went in both. They have stages, and girls, but nobody was dancing. I got the impression they were all hookers, but they only spoke spanish and I don't and they were old and worn out as well.
Glad I missed the shoot out. Would have been a great big hassle- to quote Steve Miller Band
