All those places turned me down because I didn't have tits.  Hence my 
bitterness.  The only way to get into those places is to know a promoter, and 
you don't really make money there - $150 a night, tops.

You're better off looking to NYC.  Monthly train tickets are only $150 - 
you'll clear that 3 times easy in a single night.
