A Long Island Craigslist Ad With A Very Witty Response!

#241
Pretty sure that's a parody on the Blues snobs of LI.
The Dumble amp gives it away, as it's highly unlikely that someone is going to bring a $70K amp out to a Blues jam, let alone own one. However, my guess that you're probably more likely to find a Dumble in LI than most places in the country.

Don't be too sure of this being a joke.
Remember that CL has a section for "hookup" ads and you can be fairly confident that this type of crowd would have no problem organizing threesome, foursome and moresome get-togethers there.

With that in mind, I can tell you that the concept of discretion and privacy for the group sex crowd pretty much consists of "I wasn't here and you didn't see me *wink wink*". How do I know this? I installed a sound system for a "social club" in the Poconos and was invited to DJ for them during a get-together. So I took them up on the offer. It was a bit bizarre providing the music while people were casually doing the nasty all over the place but their attitude was very much like what is being presented in this ad.

That's why I think the intent of the ad could very well be genuine.

BTW.......there were doctors, dentists, lawyers and business owners as well as a broad mix of people from all walks of life at the affair I DJ'd and all any of them asked of me was to never identify them outside of "the club".

The worst place I DJ'd was a fetish club.

Few things were as surreal as being asked if I had any Journey by hefty older women who were then going to be spanked, flogged or you name it.

Not judging the acts or the people but "Got any Journey?" as someone is say having fire on their back and another is on all fours like a dog while someone else is tied up and beaten was definitely "something".

My swingers club visits were with Ron Jeremy and I only drop the name because few things in life have I seen that topped Ron with other men's wives while wearing Crocs.

I was an emcee earlier for a bikini contest with Ron as special judge which led to the rest.

Anyhow, got any Journey?

Or vintage gear?

Back to Long Island we go!

So...., trying to follow your train of thought here. This was an ad on Craig's list. Craig's list has other ads. Among those thousands of other kinds of ads, some advertise for various sexual rendezvous with one or more other people....

I have to admit, that's about as far as I can follow and I'm not really seeing the connection between the two. Are you sure you weren't just looking for any old excuse to tell that story 'cause it's a pretty weak connection between the ad and your post? ;)

Speaking of replying to Craigslist posts...I remember a few years ago, one of the local clubs advertised a battle of the bands event that was going to run over the course of a few weeks. The grand prize was the honor of playing a headlining show at the club. Now keep in mind, this wasn't some super exclusive A-list club that only booked signed bands where you made $5k+ a night with a fully catered green room or anything. Most anybody who had played in a respectable band in the area had played this club.

In response someone wrote a really sarcastic post on Craigslist advertising for a "Battle of the Brews" contest in which the local musicians could sample all of the local nightspots' beer for free. Afterwards, they'd choose their favorite location and that's where they'd go to drink for a night. It was hilarious; it could have been an Onion article. I wish I had saved it, because it really showed how lame the BOTB idea was of that club could be.

I worked with a guy in one of those "clubs" and he made it a point to point out the customers that came in that he'd see at their gatherings. None of them were the doctory lawyery type, and none of them were the type of people you'd like to see naked even on accident.

As far as the ad in the original post, I have to assume that's a joke...at least I hope so. Ya know how Poe's Law works though. Anyone remember DeluxeRed? He was this clueless poster who claimed he had gotten two bass players fired in a weekend over his great stage presence. He said that the poor bass players' band leaders were so impressed with his skills as a performer that they just decided to fire their own bass players right then and there. After some sleuthing by TBers, we saw his videos. Turned out he was a painfully mediocre player in a painfully mediocre band doing B-52 and other assorted cliche party rock covers. The people in the band, including Deluxe himself, pretty much looked like the picture of the blues band who is the subject of this thread. The brilliant stage charisma that was so awesome as to cause two BLs to fire their respective bass players for no other reason that they were not as awesome turned out to be...DeluxeRed basically doing the white guy in shorts shuffle across the stage.

I remember that thread. Classic! I think the band was called The Lesser Few. Not horrible but certainly not memorable either.
