The Hi-Hat: Not My Favorite Club

[jwgh]

I decided to go to the Hi-Hat tonight to see the Superchief Trio. When I got there I noticed some signs in the window that I don't think were there the last time I was there. Here is one of them:

Another sign also forbade tee shirts. One of which I was wearing. However, as it happens, I actually have something which I thought should pass muster: the suit I got so I would have something to wear at last Saturday's wedding.

After a while, the waitress came around and put one of these oddly-worded notices on my table:

$10 turns out to be four smallish Diet Cokes (which is what I was drinking), but I was there with other people who had more expensive beverages so I only ended up drinking two.

The service was OK, which is a change from the last time when the servers ignored me for 45 minutes. I think this is probably because I was dressed up fancy this time, whereas last time I was wearing what I usually wear. (If wearing a tux is being dressed to the nines, I think normally I am dressed to the ones or maybe on a good day to the twos.)

The Superchief Trio were fun as always, though.

If they want to pretend to be a high-class establishment, they need better typesetting.

It's too bad that none of the signs used Comic Sans.

maybe they expected low-class riff-raff like you to be seeing the superchief trio ;)

those signs have been there forever (as i have to pass them at least twice a day to get to my work).

it causes me to wonder if i can go in naked. i mean, as long as i'm not wearing a hat, work boots or sneakers.

also - i've gone in there wearing sneakers before. never got kicked out. got drunk on their dime instead!

i hate that "no t-shirt" rule (and "no sneakers" too)- i saw jonathan richman there a little while ago and i wanted to wear my modern lovers t-shirt, but i saw "no t-shirts" on their website- i'm scared of authority and confrontation, so i didn't risk it, but there were tons of t-shirt clad folks at the show

(did you change into your suit in the car or something?)

No, I drove home and changed -- I live about 10 minutes away.

What's a "$10.00 minimum person" anyway? Maybe it's a troll they hide under every table! A very cheap troll!

We determined that it was Bob.

Heh.

Hi-Hat Club says no hats. I bet they don't let elks in the Elks Club either.
