The Stratosphere Lounge Episode 271

Is this still a thing? I had an idea for the introductory trailer for the party. Begins with a bar establishment and a passed out raccoon with his mouth hanging open, hand cuffed to an empty keg fridge on one hand and an upturned red cup in the other.

A hand passes some smelling salts under his nose. It’s Bill himself, “Hey, Jake.” Raccoon reorients himself with his surroundings, astonished at his situation. “Place is trashed. And it looks like you have a black eye.” Jake, with blue and black party paint over his eyes, flakes a laugh, “ha! A-ha. Very funny, Bill. Has anyone ever told you you should’ve been a comedian?” Where’s the key?” “I…gave it to some hairy horned bastard with paint of his face.” “Who?” “I don’t know! I can’t even.. I was calling him buffalo. He was my spirit animal, Bill. He betrayed me.” Small tear makes the makeup run on one eye, making a Q. “You trusted a man with horns and make up on with your keys, Jake!? Come on.” “He was very charismatic.” Raccoon shrugs. “Where’s Tilly?” “Ugh. She’s gone, Bill. Ran off with Ralph the day before.” Camera pans to a picture on the counter not far off if three characters,
Raccoon with arm around Rhino female and a Male elephant. “What! Ralph has been with you since when?” “His slippery nose was in the register. Told him a year back to [laughs] tie it around his neck like a tie, keep it above the counter. Complained he couldn’t breathe. Said he’d file a complaint. ” “Oh, man, he didn’t get over that?” Bah. You know what they say about elephants. ” he responds bitterly, raising the empty cup to his mouth. “That scumbag! Didn’t even have the decency to at least fill a broken man’s cup.” He sees the picture again and throws the cup at it, missing the frame. He loses it and tries to knock it off himself, but can’t reach. “Give me a hand will you!” Bill says,” you wan me to help you knock it over, or help you get free?” Jake manages to calm down and accept the help. “Its over bill. Lost it all. Place is ruined.”
“We’ll geta new keg, Jake, come on. We can have a new party in new place” “What! Impossible. This one was perfect.” See that the place is called, RePUBlik,with the I in the shape if a neon straw. “Such a great name.” He mumbles. “Never again, Bill! No matter how horny.. Bill interrupts, “Come on, I’ll call the locksmith. We’ll make it bigger and better and talk about people growing long in the tooth and it’ll happen all oh very again, that he’s CHAINED forever to the place, and pulls at the cuff. You explain that we could get new people in, fresh and keep things changing. It’ll get better. “Promise?” Bill shakes his head slowly. “I can’t promise it’ll be easy.”

Bill at the 50 minute mark you mentioned the “busloads” being brought in. I was at the Washington Monument that day and saw with my own eyes a group of about 25 dismounting their ride near the Lincoln Memorial — it was the closest they could get due to road closures. Watched them walk behind me towards the Capitol, past many police who were stationed at every street corner.

love the after party raccoon… for the voice I was hearing this very funny comedian that Beck and Crowder (I think) have hosted or spoken to often… from New Jersey or New York… whose name completely escapes me tho I can see his face in my mind… If memory serves, he came out with a politically incorrect show a year or so ago …
on the science fiction side… have you read Anne McCaffrey? In one of her series I believe she has a web of telekinetics who shift the mass from station to station… I will look it up…

Zo or Kruiser would be great voices for The Party Animal. Outside of your immediate realm, Undomed or Michael Loftus could be good depending on what kind of voice you’re trying to project

“The After Party” – GENIUS!!!
