Blogging about Bloggers: Nightclub Bouncer edition

Hiya, kiddies. Today was just another day in paradise. I got creamed in the market, argued well enough with my boss to reduce some exposure, and had a fresh idea planted in my head after the close. Despite another crappy day for the fund, I'm feelin' pretty decent. It's a beautiful evening, the Girlfriend is picking me up and we're heading off to the garden at Barolo on West Broadway for dinner. Should be nice - mmmmmmm, Vongole.

Anyway, from time to time I like to point out to you, loyal reader(s), other blogs that I drop in on from time to time. Today, I'd like to show you a blog written by a front door bouncer at an unidentified Manhattan mega-nightclub. His name is Rob and, despite what you may think from his writing about his job, he's actually livin' the dream: Rob the Blogger got himself a book deal - the dream of every blogger, living or dead (save yours truly. My dream is to have my stocks go up JUST ONE FUCKING TIME, but that's another story, obvs). Here's Rob's website: it's called Clubland, but the web address is http://standingonthebox.blogspot.com. Bookmark it. It's a great time killer.

Rob's website is about his experiences at a club I'd never go to. It's drugged out meatheads and the B&T hoze that love them. They're loaded with cash, jacked up on drugs, and generally menaces to society at large. They drive Escalades and Mercedes. They play loud club music thinking it'll get them laid. They went to high school. They think (using that term loosely, obvs) that getting in fights is perfectly acceptable behavior when out clubbing - and that, again, it might get them laid. And, of course, they shop at Jersey Meatheads-R-Us. I'm telling you all: you've gotta read this guy's stuff. At times it's disturbing, at times hilarious, but always well written from a unique point of view we've all encountered (that of bouncer) but never experienced (and 5 minutes at SpyBar front door with Elizabeth doesn't count). Anyway, I've always enjoyed Rob's writing and so now I pass it along to you.

One other thing that I got through one of his posts was a link to this New Zealand All Blacks ass-kicking, psych-out pre-game performance. How cool is that? No wonder the All Blacks are always in it. How could they not be after this?
