Blazers


Blazers is a TV show based around a bar. The bar, Blazers, is known for its specialty shots and brews. These drinks are amazing on their own, but when you order one of these drinks the bar gives you a blazer to wear for the rest of the night. Thus, this bar has become a very popular place because of its fancy shots and fancy threads.

 

Some of the Blazers staff and regulars :


John Mark - Mortgage Financier / Telemarketer; at Blazers though, he is a lady-charming Real Estate Mogul. His classy looks and demeanor are usually too much for the ladies to resist, but of course, some can. Dwayne is his arch rival because of his frequent hook-ups with Rose.


Rose - a mid-level sales exec. with a good sense of humor and a passion for the good times. She can pretty much do whatever she wants. She's not attached to anyone, but her and Dwayne have had some awesome sex before.

Danny - John Mark's best friend and unlike most of the people in the bar he actually is as successful as tells people. He is the operator of petmisphere.com, a website where people can find the right pets for them and meet other people’s pets (the perfect mix of e-harmony, friendster and pets.com). Not a smooth operator with the ladies.

Dwayne - punk rocker that works at a local pizzeria and is hated by every guy at Blazers. After work he puts on some nice clothes, gets a blazer and takes home the hottest lady in the bar.

Eileen - a waitress / bar hand at Blazers. She is as cool as they come and works there at night to pay the rent while she chases her dream of becoming a dancer. Every guy wants her, but she's not interested in relationships. Her dancing career is all that matters.


Jan - bartender at Blazers. He came to the U.S. as an exchange student from Switzerland, but after his time in school was up he got married so he could stay. He's in love with Eileen.


Richie - piano player / Blazers go-to entertainment guy



Episode 1: “Crocodile Rock"


John Mark and Danny go to Blazers to drink their blues away. John Mark tells Danny that he is having some stress at work because he has to get someone to re-finance their home by tomorrow or it comes out of his paycheck. After a couple of rounds of shots and some fine Blazer wearing, Danny agrees to re-finance his home if John Mark can help him hook up tonight.

The boys see the mighty fine Rose sitting across the way at a table full of people. They join Rose who is sitting with three “Hampton Ladies” who are ready to party and Dwayne. The “Hampton Ladies” leave to go “powder their noses” and invite the boys. Danny’s never snorted any drugs so he’s hesitant, but John Mark gives him a nudge and he follows them to the ladies room.

Rose, John Mark and Dwayne keep on drinking. John Mark and Dwayne are trading bullshit stories trying to top each other, but Rose’s not interested. She’s turning the night into a drinking contest. Eileen, the waitress, is her friend, so she pulls her aside and asks her to start making the guys’ drinks stronger than hers. Eileen agrees and soon her and Jan, the bartender, are having a contest to see who can make the strongest drink without having it sent back. Instead of just serving them to the guys at Rose's table though, they are serving them to the whole bar.

Now that the whole bar is on the verge of total hammjamm, Richie, the piano player seems to be the only one semi-sober. He takes 15 to get a drink, so the Hampton ladies and Danny invite him to sugar-up his cookie with them. The bathroom party is a success and now the dance floor is white hot. Danny request “Crocodile Rock” and within seconds of the opening note the bar is now on the outer orbits of rage. All three of the girls are grinding on Danny and fighting for the most space. Richie gets completely lost in “Crocodile Rock”, so much so that he forgets how to play everything else and just keeps on playing “Crocodile Rock” non-stop.

John Mark and Dwayne are now three sheets to the wind and are now just talking over one another. The conversation is basically just loud chanting now, so Rose starts chanting, but they don’t notice. Eileen tells them she is going to stop serving them unless they stop chanting.

Eileen and Jan’s strongest drink contest is reaching its limit. Several fights have already broke out, but neither one is ready to give in.

“Crocodile Rock” is now halfway through its third run and the girls and Danny are still tearing it up. One of the ladies, however, is getting sick of the Croc. She says she's tired of dancing to “Crocodile Rock”, so Danny tells her that she doesn’t know a "by-goddamn thing about real kick ass music.” She slaps Danny and leaves. Two girls left. They continue dancing. Danny asks for more blow, but the girls are all out. Danny suggests they start asking around the bar, but one of the other girls says she knows where she can score some. She walks up to a guy at the nearest table and asks him for his blazer. He gives it to her and she puts it on as she heads away from the table. She fishes around in the pockets, finds his car keys and then leaves. One girl left. Danny and his last girl go to the bar to get a drink. He orders two drinks from Eileen and slams his as soon as she serves it to him. Two seconds later Danny is throwing up all over himself and the bar. He immediately starts wiping off the bar with his sleeve, so he doesn’t notice his last girl slowly slip into the night. Zero girls left.

Jan comes over and congratulates Eileen on her victory. She cheers Jan with her win, but feels bad for making Danny throw up and costing him his date. She leads him to the backroom to help him clean-up the blazer. A few minutes later Jan walks in to the backroom to grab some more ice and stumbles upon Eileen and Danny making out. Jan feels the pain.

The chanting at Rose, John Mark and Dwayne’s table has turned into a bunch of loud freestyle talking. Everyone is just riffing. Eileen is nowhere to be found so, John Mark has to go to the bar to get the next round. When John Mark leaves the table is completely silence and all that is heard is “Crocodile Rock”. Dwayne chugs the rest of his drink, slams down the empty glass and proclaims that he can’t take it anymore. He walks over to Richie and slugs him right in the midst of another “Crocodile Rock”. The bar erupts into a melee.

John Mark returns to the table with the round of drinks, but no one is there. He missed Dwayne hit Richie, so he has no idea why everyone is fighting, but doesn't care. Instead, he goes to the bathroom and walks in on Rose sitting inside a urinal having sex with Dwayne. John Mark is now also feeling the pain and reluctantly returns to the bar. He sips on a drink with Jan as Eileen helps Danny out to the parking lot. All is not lost since he’ll get a full paycheck tomorrow, but broken hearts are abound tonight at Blazers.
