What's up with the Clown thing?

So I think everyone has some story to tell about their experience with the Cloud Room. Some folks called on their cell phones, only to be hung up on by the bartender. Others couldn't get in the door, 'cause the place was too crowded. One team apparently got in, ordered drinks, and then as the drinks were being placed in front of them, asked "So where are the clowns?". Drinks pulled away from them. Large bouncer escorted them to the door. Bye bye.

So why did we put it in there? A lot of our data on bars came from a recent Seattle Weekly article on bars in the area and their story on the Cloud Room sparked our interest.

Cloud Room
So I goes to the top of the Camlin Hotel, right? and there's this bar, but it's just full of people. Just normalish people sucking back the hooch. No clowns at all . . . anywhere. So I'm thinking to myself, 'cause that's really the best way I think, I'm thinking, "Well hell, what the hell, man? Where the hell are the goddamn clowns?" So I grab the bartender, right, and I pulls him up nice and close, cock my head, and in a sideways hoarse sorta whisper squeeze out, "What's the deal with the clowns, man?!" and he looks at me all spooked, right, and he says real calm and soft, "I think you'd better leave." As they shuffle me toward the door I notice they have a piano and a patio overlooking the city. Oh, and an elevator.

upshot: Will be THE place to go when they get the clowns.--P.D.

So we didn't really know what would happen - but wow, now I really want to know about those Clowns.

I can't believe what people would do!

So many people have said to me, wow, I can't believe what people would do! Like Limo 1 apparently was talking with this couple at the Dragonfish and looking over the list and the woman really wanted to be wrapped in paper products. So she went up to her hotel room and stripped off her clothes and was wrapped in toilet paper. There are photos to prove it!

Any other stories to add to the bunch?
