And Chandler, there's no ingenuity to Drippy's "game." I encounter at least one customer a week who introduces himself with an obviously fake name in an attempt to find out my real one. It's annoying. Usually the conversation goes something like this:
Customer: My name's Brad Pitt.
Me: Okay, Brad, are you ready for a dance?
Customer: You know that's not my real name right?
Me: If you want to be Brad Pitt tonight, that's fine with me. You ready for that dance now?
Customer: Only if I can get your real name.
Me: *walk away*
LOL. You do realize that most of us have fake "real" names that we use to pacify customers who insist on knowing our real names. You can call yourself whatever you want, as far as I'm concerned. If you introduced yourself as Brad Pitt, I'd simply address you as Mr. Pitt for the remainder of our transaction.
Dennyspade, the Landing Strip has been closed for some time now. However, rumor has it that it has been bought by Subi's ownership, and will be re-opening "soon."
I always enjoyed working at Trumpp's when I was still working in the Detroit area; the management and staff are absolutely fantastic. I prefer my clubs a little more low-key nowadays (although I'd like to check out Penthouse, simply because I haven't done so since it opened).
