Rockstar Booking Agent

She usually wakes up in the morning wrong side of the bed
Trying to remember where she laid her head
Tough to know where you are when you wake up feeling half past dead
Flip the switch on the computer start the coffee on the run
Load up all them emails get the promo work done
She’s a multi-tasking mama don’t quit till the game is won

Got a big old batch of home-made go-go juice
Gotta get the blood pumping get the typing fingers loose
Another long day still chasing that golden goose
Five hours sleep can drive a woman insane
All that hard work you never hear her complain
When it’s all said and done she got everybody drinking champagne

Cause she’s a rockstar booking agent working this crazy town
Got a bunch of entertainers needing work so they don’t drown
She got 5000 friends on Facebook
Yeah the VIPette’s pretty well known
She’s a rockstar booking agent working this crazy town

Calling all clubs I got a star for you
But voicemail’s all she ever gets to talk to
Still pluggin along makin everybody’s dreams come true
Now the suns on the left coast and it’s sinking fast
Hit the shower throw some clothes on get that foot on the gas
Showtime at 10 and she know it’s gonna be a blast

Cause she’s a rockstar booking agent working this crazy town
Got a bunch of entertainers needing work so they don’t drown
She got 5000 friends on Facebook
Yeah the VIPette’s pretty well known
She’s a rockstar booking agent working this crazy town

Awwww, work it girl! (Lead Break)

She’s a rockstar booking agent working this crazy town
Got a bunch of entertainers needing work so they don’t drown
She got 5000 friends on Facebook
Yeah the VIPette’s pretty well known
She’s a rockstar booking agent working this crazy town

She got the whole damn world on Facebook
They keep the VIPette running around
She’s a rockstar booking agent working this crazy town
(Spoken) Awwww work it, girl… get us all some work!

It must be a good indication that Las Vegas is bouncing back from the worst economy in the history of Las Vegas when a new club opens right?

I was fortunate enough to attend the grand openning Saturday night of The Black Door Bar & Grill. It’s the concept of Nico Santucci and Dave Navarro. It was a star studded event – complete with walking the black carpet in lieu of a red carpet through the gauntlet of photogs snapping away. As with every Las Vegas club opening, there was a snake lady, pole dancers, the Beacher’s Madhouse Midgets, and Ron Jeremy. After all, it is not a Vegas club opening without porn stars.

The club it’s self is small however, I liked the plush purple and black rock and roll vibe of the room along with candles flickering giving it an intimate feel regardless that the music was blaring on 107 decibels.

The Black Door will have live entertainement and will be the venue for the kick off of the new CUI: Comic Under The Influence on June 10th at 11pm brought to you by Eddie Rivkin and E7 Entertainment along with Sin City Whiskey. This show is not for the faint of heart!!! If you like your comedy Smart and RAW and XXX then this show is just for you!!!

The Black Door’s menu boast a menu fit for a rock star with everything named after rock stars – although no food was served at the opening. The Black Door Bar & Grill is open from Tuesday to Sunday.

The decline of live Las Vegas Entertainment continues to prevail as it claims yet another victim. The news that Charlie’s Bar (2089 N. Jones) will close next week was shocked its regular neighborhood patrons. However it was even more shocking to the regular live bands that have played in rotation at Charlie’s Bar.

Charlie’s Bar will go out in true rock star fashion as it will host an all out musician’s jam going away party of sorts on Wednesday, August 20th. According to Doug, everyone is invited to come, play, share stories and close down Charlie’s Bar in a way fitting for the thousands of musicians who have graced the stage.

One may think that one bar closing is not that big of a deal as Vegas is full of them. However it is quickly becoming a trend of closing establishments that are fixtures in our neighborhood that employs our citizens, provides a literal stage for local bands to haon their skills as musicians and generates gaming and other tax revenue for our city.

A drive down any major Las Vegas street whether it be Charleston, Sahara, Tropicana or Flamingo shows the signs the economy chipping away at what has always been the thriving entertainment capital of the world. A whole host of bars and restaurants closed and their rich history all but forgotten. In recent weeks, Spanky’s Pub also has been forced to close.

Some blame the ban on smoking in bars and restaurants which was voted into law in January 2007. Yet some locals state that they simply do not have the money to go to bars and restaurants anymore. Dinner and an evening of entertainment is a luxury that far too many can no longer afford.

Although The Strip continues to maintain and news is hopeful of a recovery, our neighborhoods that surround the strip could become an entertainment ghost town which we will only have fond memories and stories to share of what local entertainment was all about long ago.
