Escuelita is basulita("lil' trash in spanish)

It supposed to be my comeback for the 3rd time because ive been there twice last year,it was wavy then until it went down to the hill.the bouncer was being a clown and he try to fool me over because,i asked him i left the state ID home but,its ok i can show them my another photo ID w/my name,birthdate and picture and he said yes then when i got in,that russian host was being so rude and he got some nerve to tell me to hurry up for looking for my photo ID while he was rushing me during i was looking for my ID in my pocketbook and i said to him "why wont you be patient and learn to have some courtesty,gosh",then some light skin blk or latino heavyset guy the cashier/host,whatever he was and idc but he was very discourtous told me"if u ever speak to one of my co-workers like that,i will ban you for good" and idk what was his problem,maybe he havent get banged by a male or a female,who know and who cares,lmao!,i told this fat butt-hole "why wont you tell him have some courtesty and patience,like seriously" then i found my another photo ID instead of state ID,he told me i cant come in because the rule of this place you have to bring the state ID,no college ID,no passport and none of that then,i got so tight then,i stomped-out of this place because why wasting my $5(two $2.50 carfares) to come over here and come home,dont make no sense at all,smh.this place is uber-ghetto as heck,the bathroom is small and nasty,they even let the men to go to the ladies' restroom while any female patron were there and let the females to go to the men's restroom while any male patron were there and you would be so paranoid like god forbid,that person might do something harm to you like raping you,killing you and etc. and its bananas(this is my message goes to the future patrons:female,male,gay.straight,whatever),the drink is alright but its kind of expensive,the females in here are cute but some of them can be birds(yes im a bisexual female,lml!),the music is on point and DJ is so down to earth,you can ask him for your request what song you want him to play for you and he will do it in the heartbeat,lml,the drag show is a mind-blowing and they are bad to the bones and the go-go dancers are hot but they off the beat.the management need to upgrade by hiring some office workers in case somebody have questions or plan their occassions,check all of the emails,facebook private messages and etc.,like seriously,one day,this club will going died-out because of the bad management and the owner need to get off the high horses and do something,smh.

hmm kinda ghetto

The music is good, the crowd is "thugy" if that's your thing then you'll fit right in no problem, drag shows are entertaining which is plus, drinks seen reasonable priced,
