DRAMATIS PERSON\u00c6:<\/p>\n

OGRE<\/a>: A doorman.
\nMICHAEL, a.k.a. WOODY or DJWUDI: A clubgoer.
\nJOHN: Another clubgoer.
\nDAN: Another clubgoer (Actually, I have no idea what his name was…just go with it.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

SCENE: Outside of THE VOGUE<\/a>, a goth\/industrial dance club, during a Sunday night “Fetish night<\/a>“. OGRE and MICHAEL are talking outside the front door of the club. Pounding industrial music can be heard in the background.<\/p>\n

Enter JOHN, stage left.<\/p>\n

OGRE: Oh, hey John. John, this is Woody.<\/p>\n

MICHAEL and JOHN shake hands.<\/p>\n

JOHN: Good to meet you.<\/p>\n

MICHAEL: You too.<\/p>\n

OGRE: He’s ‘DJ Wooooodi…’<\/p>\n

MICHAEL (laughing): Ex<\/em>-DJ.<\/p>\n

OGRE laughs.<\/p>\n

OGRE: I meant ‘djwudi’ on LiveJournal<\/a>, but yeah. Ex<\/em>.<\/p>\n

JOHN (bemused): Ex?<\/p>\n

MICHAEL: Yup.<\/p>\n

Enter DAN through the front door of THE VOGUE.<\/p>\n

JOHN: I don’t think I’ve ever met an ex-<\/em>DJ. They’re always just “between clubs” or something.<\/p>\n

ALL laugh.<\/p>\n

MICHAEL: Well, glad to be the first!<\/p>\n

DAN: Hey, I’m an ex-DJ! I used to be one of the top three DJs in Cincinatti. Now I’m working coat check at the Mercury. How sad is that? I started out<\/em> doing coat check twelve years ago.<\/p>\n

MICHAEL: I could say I used to be one of the top DJs in Anchorage, but I’m not quite sure how much that really means…<\/p>\n

ALL laugh.<\/p>\n

OGRE: No kidding — ‘Dude, I’m the top DJ in Albequerque!’<\/p>\n

JOHN: I’m the top DJ in my apartment!<\/p>\n

OGRE: Yeah, boy — ‘party over here!’<\/p>\n

JOHN: I rock the house. Hell, I rock the passenger seat<\/em>!<\/p>\n

DAN: As long as the passenger isn’t there —<\/p>\n

JOHN: No shit — ‘Hey, get your hands off my stereo!’<\/p>\n

ALL laugh.<\/p>\n

EXIT all through the front door of THE VOGUE.<\/p>\n
