the bribery attempt!!!

Christine says we glossed over the incident involving the bouncer trying to extort money (or possibly sexual favors...based on what I was told, he didn't specify that it was cash he was after!) in order for Steve (of the non-Caltrains variety) to gain entry into the Hawaiian Tropic Zone.

My apologies if this is inaccurate, but I was busy dealing with the whole "treating us like shit because we're dressed like assholes" situation.

From my understanding, Mike, Christine, and Steve were the last to enter the Hawaiian Tropic Zone for some hot MJ action. When Steve got to the front of the line, he presented his ID, which had expired 3 days prior to the incident. He also presented the DMV printout stating that his ID was valid, but the bouncer was having none of it!

Christine argued that they had used it at the airport and at casinos all day, so it shouldn't be any different at the HTZ. The bouncer was all, "oh hell to the N-O! It may be good enough for the casino that this very bar is located in, but we here at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone have standards! Despite these alleged standards, I might be able to make an exception for you, little lady (insert creepy wink here). If you take care of me, I'll take care of your husband!" SUCIO!!!

Needless to say, Christine, being the fine upstanding citizen she is, was shocked and appalled by the behavior and sucio-ness of the bouncer! She called suit guy over and demanded satisfaction! Which, in the case of Steve, was never received!

Christine joined us and enjoyed classy VIP status while Steve gambled away their life savings and diaper money in the casino. That seems fair.

I have no idea what happened after that, but I imagine it was sucio.

It should also be noted that while I was giving the "look, I know we're dressed like assholes, but..." speech, I also demanded that they let Steve in. Suit guy was all, "I can help you with this situation, but I can't even touch the bribery thing." Possibly because it was too...SUCIO!?!?!?!?!?!?
