Trends in partydom

Since late November, my band, The Neurotics, has played six corporate Christmas parties around Vancouver, in locations ranging from the Jericho Tennis Club, to the main ballrooms of the Hotel Vancouver and Pan Pacific Hotel, to the lounge of the Fairmont Airport Hotel. We've done many more such events in the past year. In the process, we have discovered there are two types of audiences:

1. "Boogie Machines" - in particular, medical personnel (doctors, lab technicians, etc.) are ready to rock.
2. "Lame-ola" - bankers and car dealers seem to think a band is about as exciting as a loan application.
