Thai Princess Etiquette and Other Tips (aka
"the rules")
I
Okay, first we are a bar – go figure! Please
make a drink purchase (alcohol or non, or a specialty drink that
one of our bartenders dreams up!) otherwise you are not a patron
and not eligible to sing or be at
The Thai Princess
for entertainment. This is how we pay the rent, provide a large
song selection, make sure our employees eat (notice how THIN
they all are), and keep the place clean!
II
No outside drinks,
please.
We don’t mind if you bring in a pizza or make food arrangements
in advance with us for a party, but the bar is our livelihood.
Plus, it’s just plain rude.
III
Select a song from one of the songbooks.
Print your nameand song number
legibly on the song request form. Give the song request to the
karaoke host (KJ). Just remember, if you’ve had a couple drinks
already, “legibly” may take on a whole new
meaning…..concentrate….on second thought, if you have trouble
writing, you should re-consider singing!
IV
No more than one (1) song request in at a
time. When your name is called to sing, bring up your next song
request – no fake names (aka “Kenny & Dolly” – we have that one
figured out!).
V
Patience.
Average song duration is four (4) minutes. Expect a maximum of
fifteen (15) songs in an hour. Glance around the room…if there
are fifteen (15) or more people waiting to sing, you can count
on at least an hour’s wait.
VI
The
Thai Princess attracts a wide array of people
and can have an eclectic mix on any given night. We love it and
that’s what we want. We’re about more than tolerance, The
Thai Princess is
about respect.
Nevertheless, we reserve the right to be rude to anyone on an
“as needed” basis, but rudeness
to employees or other patrons will not be tolerated. Just be Zen
and enjoy the environment if the wait to sing is long. If you
act up, the KJ can make sure you don’t sing, put you back
further in the rotation or have you removed from the bar. At the
same time, if you experience unpleasantness while visiting,
please let the staff know.
VII
Be a good audience member! Talent varies.
Please be courteous to everyone and applaud all efforts.
Remember, you will want the same
consideration!
VIII
Swinging the microphone is VERBOTEN. "If
you're caught swinging, you won't be singing!” Be gentle with
our equipment and for goodness sake DO NOT DROP the microphone!
IX
No DRUGS and CAPS
allowed
X
Continue to make beverage purchases at the
bar as you are participating in the karaoke experience.
