So it’s somehow fallen on us to “work” up a name and idea for the upcoming Fridays at our new GLO Bar. How hard could that possibly be? Pretty fucking hard, actually! So we cycle through a few different ideas, when we decide to take some cues from the trannies regarding trends and come up with “WORK!”, that, and we were listening to Ru Paul’s Work on iTunes and she was pretty much demanding us to the name the night!

So there it is! You betta WORK! Simple, sweet and punchy! We couldn’t ask for more.

Until some bitch in NYC named Peter Rauhofer (jk, we know exactly who Rauhofer is, we grew up on his Madonna mixes) decides to contact us via Facebook acting like a total cunt over us naming GLO Bar’s Friday night “WORK!”, claiming that we clearly had stolen it from his party name and song “Work”.

Now first and foremost, we will do what we want. Rauhofer’s name isn’t on our flyer, and our flyer art is better than his anyway! Second, we haven’t been to NYC in years, (and now we know why!) and have never heard of this “Work”, and if we had, it very well may not have stopped us!

Anyhow, here’s a complete screen capture of the exchange. It’s a good thing we have experience shutting bitchery like this down or else we might have even been sorry!

UPDATE: So after some further Rauhofer Facebook bitchiness, we got an email from Petey’s Star69 Records rep Nima, who was very nice, but explained that they have trademark rights over the word “Work” in reference to giant global club parties and whatnot. This is how they found out about Glo’s WORK, after all — people with nothing better to do on Facebook got confused and thought that Peter Rauhofer was about to show up to Glo (4 hours late, naturally). So with some creative thinking, we changed the name of Glo’s Friday to W*RK!, which not only makes the name of our party look like profanity, but also allows us to use the astrisk properly and stick another little star at the bottom of the flyer explaining that Peter Rauhofer chose to be a huge bitch, resulting in a little dig back — as opposed to a simple name adjustment as requested by his representative.

W*rk it!
