A little gossip never hurts, right? Well, maybe in some cases. It was recently brought to my attention that a well-known club promoter and self-proclaimed "mogul" here in Grand Rapids was assaulted last Thursday in the back room of the well-known bar The French Quarter (formerly, River City Slims.)
Rumor has it that the promoter owed one of his bouncers money for work he had done for him. The bouncer came up to The French Quarter after "Thirsty Thursday" (Yes, it is really called that) demanding payment. The promoter and bouncer stepped in the back room to discuss this matter and moments later, a witness claims, all that was heard was a loud "Boom!" The witness stated that when they went to the room to see what happened the promoter was laid out on the floor, knocked out cold, dreads scattered about. It get's worse, the same bouncer who allegedly committed this assault showed up just days later expecting to work. Only in Grand Rapids!
Some people may say that the promoter got what was coming to him as this is not the first shady business deal that he is said to have made. Although, these bad deals have never been confirmed, one might wonder if they aren't the reason the attendance at his recent events has been so low (even on nights when drinks are $3 and ladies are free) compared to the past when hundreds of people would come out to party. You might even say it was...KARMA? (No pun intended)
