21. Talk about the Saddle Ranch.


The Saddle Ranch is a bar located on Sunset Blvd. Some of you that attended Webmaster Access LA likely went to the new location in North Hollywood, same idea. When it first opened on the strip, people thought it was too risky of a theme and that it would fail.

Nothing could have been further from the truth.

After about one month?s time, it went from dead to having people lined up down the strip to get in. It was a themed bar set up country and western style, famous for its mechanical bull.

I began work there about 2 months into its opening. It was one rough, fun and interesting ride to say the least. I met a few celebrities and got access to a lot vip Hollywood events. The money was pretty damn good.

Ironically, Larry Flynt?s family (minus Larry himself) came in often, usually on Fridays early afternoon. They all worked for the magazine and store in some executive fashion or another. One of the top guys for Hustler would always come in with them, I believe his name was maybe Jim? Nevertheless, it was funny running into him at my first show. He gave me passes to one of the first parties I ever attended in this Industry. Very small world to say the least.

Celebrities included: Kid Rock, Shannon Dougherty, Vince Vaughn, Heather Kozar, Lean Ryhmes, and a host of others. It was great, we would basically show up and party with celebrities.

I would not do it again, I really don?t think my body would handle it, but it was fun while it lasted.
