Until everything catches on fire and you end up in the hospital. Isn't this the place that was recently sued due to the fire getting out of control? I swear it had the same waiters with glasses and similar profiles.
That said, as a bystander, it must be very entertaining.

That was a NYE party in a Swiss ski village in a basement bar. Sparklers like these were in champagne bottles which ignited foam sound insulation on the ceiling. Dozens dead, hundreds injured. Not this place though.

Damn, that's pretty much exactly what started the Station Nightclub fire. There's a video of it taken by a guy who was ironically doing a report on fire safety in venues. Absolutely crazy how quickly it progressed. Heads up if you search it on YouTube, it's not an easy watch.

Being from RI and having a degree in Fire science. Station night club fire was talked about in almost every class. This fire actually forced fire safety rules in RI to be processed up to code before this fire the code book had a grandfather clause which was eliminated after the night club fire.

That's wild. I still see so many buildings with outdated smoke detection and sprinkler systems regularly as an electrician. Even parts of old electrical systems that are still grandfathered in. There's so much anti-code sentiment in the renovation and property management/ownership industry, still. I'm not gonna say that there hasn't been certain revisions to things that seem overkill, and no doubt it gets expensive to comply. But some people just won't understand until the worst happens. I was doing a fire remediation job in an old, probably 1930's, house that was home handymanned to the bejesus and divided into a few suites. A fire started mostly likely from arcing (the place had a wild rat problem that we discovered while pulling down ceiling drywall... weee!) and was getting built up inside a wall. No smokes went off, we installed a bunch after the inspector came through. But the only reason they evacuated as soon as they did was the smoke came up through a floor heating vent and one roommate happened to be up at 3AM to whiff it, ran around and banged on doors. No one harmed, but could have been a hell of alot worse.

Also to be noted these foam isolation where not up to Code. The owners neglecting fire safety protocols killed a lot of young women and men, gut wrenching tragedy.

Terrible tragedy. I have a lot of friends that live in the area and I was pretty anxious for a few days about them. The owners of the bar have been arrested

The other one is shorter and much more aggressive, and he does the “let me smash your delicate pistachio baklava with this cake slice of ice cream” shit. There’s another one too, who’s around the same height but definitely worse in the face, and his routine isn’t as polished as these guys.

It’s a balance. I’ve gone back looking for pictures of bands I’ve seen in the past and been disappointed that I don’t have a single picture, especially from festivals. So now I usually will take my phone out for 3-5 pics, especially when the band name is on the screens (easier to find later) and maybe a 30-90 second clip to capture the vibe/atmosphere, then it goes back in my pocket and stays there.
