Help me help myself
I am thinking of the Heartbreaker's Ball.
Not a particularly novel idea, nor even probably a name which is unique, but I am somewhat convinced that Last Call would benefit greatly from throwing a few more themed-type parties or dance nights. I had a lot of fun at Halloween... everything filled up pretty well and it was a fairly good time. Why not, then, with Valentines? What better way to pimp your club than incorporate the latest holiday?
Valentine's is on a Wednesday, so the weekend before or after would be great. Probably after. Either way, I see you running a risk of interfering with people's dates, but I figure there are enough single people or couples who enjoy partying that it might not be such a big deal. If it's held the weekend before, that's only about 2 weeks away- enough time to drum up the sort of publicity that's necessary? Maybe. The better option might be the later weekend, as that gives the same amount of time, but the benefit of that extra week of planning might mean better radio spots, fliers, or anything else of that nature. So say we shoot for the 17th- I always have more fun on Fridays, but it might even be a better idea to aim for Saturday just so people actually show up. Either way, it goes like this-
Valentine's Day has come and gone. Did that special someone get you that something special, or did Cupid miss his mark again? Instead of seeing red or singing the blues, come celebrate in style at Last Call's Heartbreaker's Ball, Friday February 18! With all-new dance space, 3 bars, and drink specials all night long, you can get a head start on finding love or just a little fun. Ladies, don't just leave that sexy something sitting in the closet til next year- dress to impress, because everyone will be looking at you. Cover is only $10 for ladies and $15 for guys, with a sweet treat at the door! Special discounts for military and couples! Ditch the cheap candy and wilted flowers and come out to have a great time with the hottest people in the CSRA. Whether you're a teddy bear or a Sweet Tart, break some hearts at Last Call, this Friday, February 18! Doors open at 10.
Of course, we all know that the dance space isn't that new. All three bars might not be open. Drink specials will be addressed momentarily- obviously, they've got to be holiday-themed shots. We'll get to that. It should somehow be encouraged that sexy stuff- perhaps even unto lingerie, should be encouraged. What's a little sluttiness among friends? Military rate might be just the same discount as ever (it's never really well advertised that military recieves a discount- it should be) so $2 off, but couples should get in for $20. If they're lesbians, I don't really know how that works out. The 'sweet treat' should be that everyone gets at least one carnation. Maybe also some red and/or silver and/or white mardi gras beads. Actually, maybe girls get flowers and boys get beads. That way, they can be traded back and forth to people during the night. Either that, or guys and girls get different colored carnations- giving a lady a flower on the dance floor is cheesy but appropriate. Additional flowers could be for sale at the door, or in the hands of the more than capable shooter girls.
Is it possible to hook the shooter girls up with plates of chocolates to walk around with? It's worth looking in to. White and milk chocolate is obviously the best. Having a bowl of Dove Promises or something on the bar might be a nice touch. Either way, it's frigging V-Day. It should be a necessity.
Now, for shots. I don't know anything about makin shots, so I will have to look in to this later on... perhaps through experimentation via some liquor store purchases I will have to make. But think of this. They all have to have themey names- Pucker Up, Hugs and Kisses, Heartbreaker, one that has somethin to do with panties or sexual apparatus... You know. That sort of thing.
So what goes in a Pucker Up? Is there any such drink? What about a Heartbreaker? Perhaps later I will look them up, but for now I will tell you what I imagine they should be.
Pucker Up- something sourish, but mostly fruity. Perhaps pineapple, cranberry, grenadine, vodka. What can you thow in there to make it sour? Lime? Do that. Is that a real drink? How would that taste?
Hugs and Kisses- Baileys. Mostly Baileys. Southern Comfort? Maybe just like... scotch. Or Jaeger. If there is something chocolatey, do it. If not, stick with some vanilla liquor. I think it's a winner.
Heartbreaker- Something hard. At least 3 types of liquor. Maybe something that tastes like cinnamon. Maybe just something tart. Cranberry, or grenadine.
These are just ideas, here, people. These are the things that literally keep me awake at night.
This has been reposted from my Opendiary. Now, when I say "literally keep me awake" I mean it. Couldn't sleep last night. After writing all those fevered dreams down, I lay in bed thinking of others because I am that damn thorough. Is it hokey to have door prizes or some kind of contest? Sexiest outfit, biggest heartbreaker? The King and Queen of Hearts? Have all the guys and girls come up and get the people to pick out the hottest 5- Guys, come stand behind your queen. Girls, come get behind your king. Maybe the king is the guy who can get the most lipstick pressed onto his skin. Prizes include a bottle of reasonably priced champagne, a nice box of chocolates, some candles, some condoms (more points for amusing types), and a gift certificate to Lucy's Love Shop.
I don't rest, do you understand? These things run through my head all night long. All. Damn. Night.
