Ok people, this one I have to bitch. Its funny, stupid, idiotic and embarassing at the same time. I was at Stereolab just now with friends for drinks. At the same time, trying to catch the guest DJ, Toni Granello.

This incident happened while Toni was getting ready for his set, sorting his CDs. In the meantime, Godwin was busy on the decks. I was behind the console with the other resident, Edward.

Out of nowhere, 4 girls (2 Pinoy, 1 Malay and 1 very smelly girl - not mentioning the race) came hurrying to the console and handed Toni 2 drink coupons. 1 of the girls said, "2 Vodka cranberry!!"..... Since the music was very loud, Toni didn't get what they were saying. He turned to Godwin and ask what was that. Godwin said it's drink coupons. Toni turned to the girls, thinking that they gave him drink coupons as a 'local gesture', said thanks and kept it in his jeans. He continued to sort his CDs. They stoopid girls then shouted, "Hey!! I want my Vodka cranberry!!"

At this point, Edward and me was already laughing like hell, realizing the idiots thinking that the console is the bar. I don't know how or why they think it's a bar. Somehow, the 'smelly girl' whispered something to her friends, which made them realized that it's not a bar. The Pinoy girl then ask Toni for her drink coupons back. Once again, because the music was already pumping hard, Toni couldn't hear them. He just grabbed one of his freebies (T-shirt) and gave the girl. He thought it was a return gesture as they gave him something. To our surprise, that stoopid girl threw the t-shirt back at Toni and ask for her drink. I think Toni was pissed by their reaction that he ignored them. One of the girls then stretch her hands and grabbed Toni's bottle of Belvedere and help herself and her friends to the drinks. Damn it, we all look in shocked. What worst, she stopped at the 3rd glass and ask Toni to pour her a glass of vodka, which he obliged. WTF!!!

Moments later, they left for the dancefloor when Toni took to the decks. So we thought that was it for the idiotic incident. I called it IDIOTIC because, how different is it a DJ console and a bar?? Nevermind that they don't know the DJs or whoever. It's typical right? These are just posers who go to clubs because everyone is there.

About 10 mins into Toni's set, I saw the IDIOTS again. This time they were right in front of the console taking pictures. Normal? Sure..... One of the girl, stretched her hand into the console, trying to pass Toni, the guest DJ, her camera, asking him to take pictures of them dancing. WTF!!! Toni ignored her, but she kept pushing the camera to him. She gave up after 3mins (try looking at your watch and see how long is 3 minutes)....

Freaking idiots infesting Stereolab on a Friday night. But again, what's new? Intelligent music don't really attract intelligent people. I left moments later. Outside, told Godwin and the operations manager about it. They had the same reaction........ none said a word, only the mouth wide open. Face expression was priceless. Good luck guys!! WTF!!

In the meantime, here's Toni's big track taken from Hed Kandi compilation......
