London, Ontario, Canada. It’s New Year’s Eve and everyone who’s anyone wants to get into Gatsby’s Sound House and Bar. It’s a popular nightspot and it’s heaving. People are drunk and getting stupid.

Look, we’ve all been out to clubs and bars and dealt with these dudes. Some are nice, some aren’t. Like anyone. But when you actually take a look at what their jobs are like? It’s pretty hectic.
