Karaoke HIT and run in NYC… please help

 
Last night this girl HIT my karaoke DJ friend Brooke very very hard over the head, causing her head to split open. She was angry that she had to wait "too long" to sing on a Saturday night and took it out on the DJ. My friend Brooke is so sweet, sober, never hurt a fly. 
The crime too place at Iggy's karaoke, 2nd ave (lots of racial tension there as owner Iggy claims "the black people do not buy enough drinks and rap music is NOT ALLOWED", making things HELL for the karaoke DJ's. There are many rap songs in the books, yet Brooke and other Djs have to constantly tell the guests "No rap music allowed" making THEM look like the bad guy, when it is the owners rule, not the Dj's). There needs to have more security there. This place is getting dangerous 🙁

1) the place is too HOT. People get angry and irritated when the place is too HOT. It sometimes reaches 90 degrees in this place. 
2) Not enough security. Bouncer there is USELESS. Lets anyone and everyone in. 
3) Place should have a $5 cover charge, to keep the riff-raff out on weekends!
4) If RAP music is "banned" then owner should make a SIGN and say so and have the balls to hang it near the DJ booth and sign his fucking name to it so the DJs are not to blame.

Jennifer is the one ^ above in the pink shirt. Her sister Nicky is in the cherry red jacket

"Her name was signed Jennifer (with 2 n's)
Her email: Jenirodriguez82@yahoo.com
 
she was a short (maybe 5'4") black/latina woman… heavier set.
I assume that the 82 is a birth year.. age 28 or 29 sounds about right.
She said she was a bar tender and had been a bar manager at one time.
She said she used to come to iggys thurs and sundays.
 
I think she may work in the neighborhood. I have attached her picture.
imagine her with shorter hair and 20 lbs heavier.
~Brookie"



She hit Brooke, knocked her out, and fled. Please help us out, we need to know if you know her, where she works etc. Please spread this around as she may very well end up injuring ANOTHER karaoke DJ at some point 🙁


Please spread the word so we can find this woman and make sure she gets her punishment. 

Thanks

Halloween night 2009

Joanna and I ^

 

Halloween 2009 in NYC at Iggy's karaoke bar upper East Side.

 

Joanna was dressed as Anna Nicole Smith and if you look carefully you will see her prop, Anna's dog Sugar Pie. I was obviously a French Maid (was going to be a gory one but had no time to do the gore make up as I was SWAMPED with work). I worked until 1am setting up the Depeche Mode tour for massages (Dot Bots all lined up). 

 I had a BLAST singing last night, but sang songs I knew the crowd would love rather than singing the ones I really wanted to try for the first time (it was PACKED and crowed wanted greatest hits sort of thing). I did Whole Lotta Love, I Feel Good, I just want to make love to you (Etta James), Dirty Deeds (done dirt cheap) – and another that I can't remember. Hmmmmm. I only had ONE wine spritzer, totally being a good girl (still off coffee too 🙂

Well, not much time to write as I have to get up early. Guess I will return to Berlin end of this month, I miss my friends. Torn between two lovers (Berlin and NYC! 🙂

A grand night out

So it's been a while since I've seen my friend Jill. She is from London but her Mom was from Barbados. She has a sweet English accent and is a total rock chick. You may remember her from my Motorhead Blog . She lives in London but comes back to NYC often as she has a flat in Brooklyn. Anyways, even though she may not LOOK like a rocker, she is. Whenever we go out to karaoke, she sings Led Zepp or some other hard core rock band. She tells it like it is and I adore her. 

 

 

I WILL pass the scratch and sniff test.

 

"Every girl's crazy bout a sharp dressed man" ^

"she only comes out a night, The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new, Ive seen her here before
Watching and waiting
Shes sitting with you but her eyes are on the door….ooo wooo, here she 

comes, watch out boy, she'll chew you up, woooo oooh here she comes,

she's a man eater" 

 

Ok. let me explain who THAT^  is. I have been going to Iggy's karaoke bar for a few years and Mariam is a fixture in the joint. She never shows up until after midnight, when all guys are good and drunk and sure enough, this sugar mama scores every time. She absolutely LOVES my friend Jonesy, but it's been so long since he's been there (and his hair is darker now) she didn't even recognize him last time we went in to sing. She kept comin up to him saying "don't I know you?" and he tried to avoid eye contact as she really crowds him ALL night. He even had the DJ call him under his real name "Chris" so she wouldn't suspect that it was really him. heh heh. 

 

 

Jill on the mic. Sandwiched by two NYC men

 

I could not stop laughing at Jill giving Jacob (below)  shit for farting in my car. She was BRUTAL on the poor guy.

 

Looks better than he smells ^  Jacob, aka "Mr. Farty pants" 

 

Told Jacob to "get an enema to clean out your smelly rancid fucking ASS!" 

 

After karaoke we had an after hours party in my car. Burning herbs and incense to make my car smell nicer, and to TRY and combat our pal Jacob's GAS problem (which smelt like a year old bag of hard boiled eggs). Had we lit a match in my car, it would have surely exploded. He LOVES Led Zepp and Hendrix, as do Jill and I so it is fun hanging out and jammin with him but daaaaaaaaaaaaam. My eyes were watering from his smelly ass. I am starting to think this bout of Bronchitis I have wasn't triggered by jogging in the cold, but from inhaling his lethal gas. FUCK!! Yet another downside of going out to Irish pubs to sing karaoke. 

St. Patricks Day in NYC smells like a fuming compost heap of beans, beer and rotten eggs inside stinky socks by the way. Not for the faint of heart or people who have excellent sense of smell like me. Sorry if I am making your stomach turn, but you know how misery loves company…

 

I am working on a few more blogs since I am home sick so lets see how much I get done. Fucking bloody cold here in NYC, we got hammered by snow AGAIN. Mother Nature is on a rampage. I still hear Florida calling my name "Dot, come back, bake in the sun" but I also hear Berlin calling "Dot come back and freeze in the miserable below zero Berlin winter" ha ha. Oh the choices.

Lipstick Jungle Massage

 

I just finished massaging Kim Raver (the lady on the right in the above billboard ^)  and her husband. They have been regulars of my massage team here in NYC but this time I massaged them personally. What an amazing couple and how beautiful is Kim? As you know, I sometimes take pictures and get autographs, but I always use good judgment as far as timing goes and it was just too chill, to private to ask. Maybe another time.
There are many celebs that I have massaged, sometimes numerous times, without every asking for a picture, for example, Jerry Garcia, Joe Jackson, David Bowie (well, I got his autograph a few times, but never asked for a pic), a German star named Ester Schweins as well… big star, but if the right moment doesn't arrive, I don't ask. 

Kim used to star in the series called "24" and now she is in one of the upcoming series, which will premiere this coming Thursday Feb 7th, on NBC. This show is supposed to be similar to Sex and the City. 

 

Since the writers strike, TV in the USA has been absolute CRAP (apart from Animal Planet, of course). This show will be a breath of fresh air for those who actually have time to watch TV.  Kim is a mother of two but you would never know it. She looks like she just got off the runway and that's without any make up on. She is absolutely stunning (and sweet as pie). Gorgeous feet too 🙂

Anyways, last night I went out and sang with a live band at Arlene's Groceries .. lots of fun. You can sing with an AMAZING live band every Monday night there.

I really have to find time and make a massive blog with loads of pics.. pics I took on my trip to Georgia, pics I took all around NYC, sigh, I am so swamped, I feel guilty for neglecting my blog. NYC is so fun and busy, I just don't have the time like I do when I am in Berlin.. I go out here a LOT more than I do in Berlin because (1) There is NO SMOKING allowed here in bars, cafes, restaurants, etc.. and my eyes and lungs don't hurt the next few weeks like they do when I go out in Berlin…even though Berlin claims to be Smoke Free now, I have heard from mates back in Berlin that it's a fucking joke.  (2) NYC is more fucking fun and the people are friendlier too. My face hurts from smiling too much when I am here in NYC.. 

So much for me making a decision (Berlin or NYC)… can't do it. Jasmine will be buzzing around Berlin forever I guess and so I will always want to have one foot in Berlin and NYC, well, my life here is more productive, fun, wild, exciting, busy busy busy! Each place has it's ups and downs..which I have gone over repeatedly over the last few years..sigh.

I will fly back to Berlin soon (if I miss an opportunity to massage Madge (Madonna!) while she is in Berlin for the Berlin film fest, I will fucking flap. I land there in a week or so and I am crossing my fingers that I don't miss any exciting massage situations. ugh. I can't be every where at once.

Super exciting that Penthouse Forum will start running my sex column (they will call it "Calling Dr. Dot) which was my idea..it kinda sounds like that Kiss song "Calling Dr. Love" heh heh. They also said I will be on their May cover, so I hope that all works out. It is 7am NYC time and I am STILL AWAKE. I voted for Hillary, massaged that couple and then went all over Hoboken with Danny filming random people in random shops..we are working on a little project, I can't wait to post it, it's hilarious..

 Gotta hit the hay, it's freakin'  LIGHT OUT.

ps. Iggy, the owner of one of my hang outs in NYC, called, Iggy's ,  insisted I post this pic of us online. This was taken this past Sunday night by my mate Jill ( I will post more pics in upcoming blog, which include her 🙂

Iggy is aiming to have the BEST karaoke place in NYC and I hope that turns out to be true really soon. Iggy's is on the Upper East Side and has karaoke 7 nights a week, they just need to get a bigger song list and organize things a bit more, pimp the sound system more and bingo, it's karaoke paradise (most people sing rock and roll tunes there, not much ABBA or Britney going on there).

Pennyroyals show at CBGBS

The Planet Verge girls asked me to host the Pennyroyals show at CBGBS a while ago (10 days ago) and I was very flattered and accepted. My apologies for taking so long to write about it, but I have been a tad ill and waaay too busy all at the same time. I dragged Antonio (bass player of the band Copperpot) and Mechel along with me. We all stopped into visit Arturo first.

When we arrived in front of CBGBS, people were star-struck in a way to see Antonio there. He is very well known and his band has a huge following.

^ Hosting the show (picture by Cristina) in case you are wondering, that shirt I'm wearing is a Misfits shirt.

Don’t lay that religious SHIT on me…. Antisemitism in NYC?

< an hour after the attack

No, I am not Jewish, not even religious, as most of you know, I chose Rock and Roll as my religion long ago. But since living back in the USA for the last 2 years, I have gotten to know some very special Jewish people, who have taught me all there is to know about the Jewish religion and so, find a place in my heart for Jewish people and religion, and sorrow for their past, I bought a gorgeous star of David necklace. It
