The Raw Hide Bar in New Orleans is a very famous leather & bear club in the French Quarter. One Southern Decadence weekend a large group from Tampa were there. You know that Tea Cup takes his tea cup everywhere and the Raw Hide was no exception. Our group of 8 made our way to Raw Hide one quiet afternoon. Let’s just say that Tea Cup always makes an impression! LOL LOL

    The group was having a great time when Tea Cup headed to the men’s room. There was this HUGE NORTHERN FIRE DOOR over the entrance to the men’s room. You know the kind that rolls down a slanted track attached to the wall. Well there was this mean drunken little local sitting at the bar. He got up and walked over to the door and give it a hard kick. Everybody in the bar was laughing as the door rolled close but then it jumped off the track and slammed into the wall.

    The bar staff not amused called in extra staff to get the door open. They even had to use a car jack to get it back on track. Locked inside was poor Tea Cup. Thank goodness the tea cup had just been re-filled! Tea Cup noticed a ladder in the restroom going up into the ceiling and could hear voices coming from there. Up the ladder went Tea Cup to meet some very interesting people smoking and not cigarettes.

    After a 3/4 hour of laughter and bar workers working, the door was opened and out popped Tea Cup with new friends. Viva La New Orleans!!!
