His Side of the Story

Tom had been living in Venice for nearly a year and a half and had finally established his typical Thursday night: get home from work, make dinner, call a friend to catch-up, then walk 6 blocks to the Venice Ale House, the perfect beach bar for a weeknight drink.

On this particular night, a Venice Ale House “regular” persuades Tom to head to another local jaunt, Townhouse, for some music, a beer on him, and “A really RAD time” according to him.

After collecting his free beer, and listening to the band, Tom’s had enough and he’s ready to call it a night. He makes his way back up the stairs and right before he reaches into his pocket to call his uber, he locks eyes with a very attractive woman fuddling with the door. After a brief pause, he proclaims…

Her Side of the Story

Jenny had been living back in her hometown of Los Angeles for almost a decade. Frustrated on this particular night, she proclaimed that she was DONE with the dating nonsense for good – finished kissing frogs and turning over rocks. Out with a friend for dinner and cocktails in Venice Beach (rare considering Venice is west of the 405), her friend convinces her to not call it an early night and instead venture to Townhouse, a dingy little local music venue which she used to love.

The doorman checks her ID and when she walks in she makes an immediate right to the little dutch door leading to the music space in the basement. To her dismay, the half-door is locked!

Then out of nowhere, a very tall, handsome, bearded man ascending the stairs proclaims with a smile and a wink…

Before you know it, the first doorman steps in and overrides the tall guy’s offer! There’s so much confusion and an argument ensues! Jenny was promised an in by someone who seemed to operate this place! How dare these guys bait and switch on her now?!

Finally, after a 3 minute ordeal, it’s made abundantly clear that the downstairs music room is in fact closed… but that Thomas David Lopez is definitely NOT A DOORMAN…

He’s a PhD.
