With all the drag stuff booming in the bar, it's been getting a lot of attention. And holy shit do I love it. Not that the bar has had any problems in the past; just the recent excitement for drag performances in the capitol has drawn more people on a regular basis, who then like the staff, who then return on days that aren't even drag nights.
But anyway, the money, it's great. It's making everything coming up a lot easier to pay for. Who knew that kind of thing would be so expensive? I mean, what do they even gain out of our own children? They're not the ones in the Games.
For now, at least. People like to tease the idea of a Capitol Quell, which sure, sounds fun and all, but I feel like it should be optional if they do it. Like, sure, the Games are fun to stream in the bar. Helps rake in regulars. But I don't wanna compete in that shit, I just want the money that people pay for our drinks.
Some company reached out to me. I don't really remember their name - but they've got to have some sort of power with our government with what they were promising. They want me to host some sort of auction here. With Every. Victor. Present. Hello?? Yes! Please! Imagine the money I could get for that alone to have people pay to come into the event themselves! I know people who would have killed to see some of these victors in their younger years. Getting a chance to speak to any of them now? Entry tickets would fly like no tomorrow.
Not only that, they're auctioning items from the games. Do you know how many people would kill to add one of the jungle plants to their house, or have an antique to show off that says "I-Was-A-Part-Of-Your-Favorite-Games"? I mean, I'm absolutely all in. 10 dollar fee to enter the event and they can get a special $2 offer on any of our cocktails! Profit: Made.
So, we rented out the bar to them. I'll host the actual auction itself on our lovely stage that once hosted the phenomenal smackdown performance of miss Frida Crowe, you just had to be there to know of the moment. She. Ate. It. Up. As soon as she hit those lights. The stage holds a table where we'll put the item up for auction and then I'll be in charge of hyping it up and selling it to the crowd.
Lord knows I've been waiting for my next shining moment, and this might just be it. Maybe I could open a second bar with this type of shit. Make a 180 from the spooky ooky goth scene and create a secondary bar, The Gates, where the feel is more angelical than dark. That would be cool, right? Would that make money? Would it be worth it?
I guess that's something to consider when today's done. Hopefully today's good.
"Welcome, to The Last Drop's BLOOD IN THE WATER Auction!" I shout, welcoming in the customers and victors as they await to see what's on sale.
I can't wait to see how this turns out.
