John Kenneth Dust (born John Kenneth Dunkin: November 30, 1972), better known by the stage name Pigeon John, is an American rapper based in Los Angeles, California. He is a former member of L.A. Symphony.
Early life
Pigeon John claims that his stage name was provided by Jesus who was driving around Inglewood: "He hopped out and handed me a dead pigeon. He whispered, 'Please have a good time, you're really bumming me out.' I watched him sink back into the cushioned seats and drive, quickly away. And that's when it happened, the pigeon started shaking violently and became awake, picked up and flew away. I don't think I had a choice... it was 'pigeon' or die." He later explained that he was discussing his need for a stage name with a friend when the friend suggested "Chicken John", taken from the character Chicken George in Roots. The friend's mother then interjected that John didn't look like a chicken, claiming that he looked like a pigeon and should therefore be called "Pigeon John".
In catering, beverage functions are functions where beverages are served.
Who pays
One important issue of beverage functions is who pays for the drinks. There are three main scenarios:
a cash bar (a.k.a. a no-host bar): Attendees pay for their own drinks.
a cash bar with tickets: The host issues vouchers to attendees for a limited number of free drinks, and attendees pay for any further drinks themselves.
a host bar (a.k.a. an open bar): The host pays for all drinks, either by the hour, by the bottle, by the drink, or per person.
Choosing among the several options is influenced by several factors. One such factor is etiquette. Providing a cash bar at a function such as a wedding reception is generally considered poor etiquette in the United States.
Another such factor is cost. A cash bar is the least expensive option for a host. However, there are alternatives between a cash bar and a fully open bar that can limit costs. The host can set a hard limit on cost, beyond which all beverages have to be paid for by attendees. The host can specify that specific beverages, such as a few selected types of wines and beers, are paid for by the host, and that attendees pay for all other types of drinks. The host can set a time limit for an open bar, beyond which it reverts to being a cash bar. Or more complex combinations of these can be employed.
Open Bar is a gay-themed reality television series. The six episode series follows Tyler Robuck through the planning, construction and opening of a gay bar called iCandy in West Hollywood, California. It also touches on the issues Robuck faced during his coming out process and trying to find a romantic relationship. Open Bar premiered on Logo on August 22, 2005, one of the first original series aired by the channel.
Open Bar is available for download from the iTunes Store.
Episode Summaries
Welcome to iCandy
Tyler Robuck is introduced, explaining that he grew up just like everyone else, except gay and in the closet. He came out but struggled with feelings of depression. One day while out for a run, he felt like God spoke to him, telling him to open a gay bar, so he moved to West Hollywood.
Tyler meets with Richard Heyman, a restaurant developer. Coincidentally, a prime location becomes available within 24 hours of their meeting and they sign escrow papers. Tyler refinances his house and puts up his life savings for the first $200,000 of the one million dollars he needs to raise. He discusses his plans with his mother and Richard Cooley, owner of West Hollywood gay bar The Abbey. Both offer little encouragement and try to impress upon him the enormous amount of work opening and running a bar entails.

[Chorus:] "Sometimes I feel the weight of the world And its so heavy and its bringing me down" [Verse 1:] Wake up to another day Gotta get to work gotta get the big pay I got car notes and rent and the other nonsense That's slowly turning me into a slave But its ok because I look good I got the best clothes and the best neighborhood And that's what it's about the American dream In a rat race but the rats want cream In an obscene amount more than I can count So I won't recognize that I'm drowning deep In the oceans of life my breathe full of strife And my head aches the stress just pounding me down Hear comes the tears of a clown The hottest name in the whole town this time But the frown that's inside is hidden by my pride Cause everything I want is mine [Chorus:] "But sometimes I feel the weight of the world And its so heavy and its bringing me down" [x2] [Verse 2:] Wake up to another day Gotta peek out just make sure it safe Cause these times are changing and reshaping Into something I cant face and it feels strange We got religious people judging the whole world We got pimps and hoes once boys and girls We got the media telling us whose to blame But whose the media who's really running the game Gotta get up gotta shake it off Cause life is long as an unsung song in the dark I'm getting confused I'm getting upset Things don't work out I'm hunting a check Regret is creeping up my window My life is reachin a crescendo I gotta numb it with drank and endo Not chasing a dream I'm wasting time Cause everything I want is mine [Chorus:] "But sometimes I feel the weight of the world And its so heavy and its bringing me down" [x2] [Bridge:] I'm having a great day everythings ok I'm doing fine just don't look in my eyes [x2] I gotta get up I gotta get up [x4] [Chorus:] "But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
