TOM'S TICKET OUT!
Even
we had to admit, it was a pretty funny performance. Last week,
one of the BEAST interns, Luke Fox, was thrown out of Kahunaville
by stage impressario Tom Sartori after he told the artist:
"Hey, Tom! You suck!" Sartori's response on stage was classic.
"How come there's always some dipshit who hates me who stands
up at the front?" When Luke handed him a business card and
asked for an autograph, Sartori crumpled the card, made a
jerking-off motion with it, tossed it back at him, and then
waved. "Bye," he said, smiling. Next thing you know, two security
goons with secret-service-style radio sets in their ears were
escorting Fox out of the building. You had to give the guy
his due; he knows how to keep people from fucking with his
act.
That said, we don't want to be nasty about this, but we decided
to do a little something for Tom. No pressure, mind you, just
a flat-out statement of fact: we've bought Buffalo's best
solo performer (two years running) a one-way bus ticket to
Fort Wayne, Indiana, by way of Toledo. And what we're saying
is, Tom, if you want it, it's right here in the office, and
you can pick it up anytime. If you don't, that's cool, we
understand. But if you change your mind, it'll be here. And
BEAST readers take note: if you see Tom, please pass along
this news, since we're guessing he doesn't read this paper.
But please don't say it in a mean way. We don't want him to
get the wrong idea.
