Official statement from the Guv
A Spiderman In Our Midst
At approximately 5am Monday May 19, a 25 year old man entered a restricted office area and climbed up into the rafters, deliriously strolling back and forth on the narrow beams approximately 40 feet high above the ground.
Upon being informed of the situation we faced, we immediately called 911 to assist us. In the meantime, we made considerable effort to persuade the individual to relent and climb down safely. Accompanied by two of our security staff, the owner Charles Khabouth, himself, climbed up near the man to try to bring the volatile situation to an end. It was an effort deemed futile by the man’s developing fear and his gradual recognition of the difficulty he was facing.
Growing increasingly concerned with the man’s safety, at approximately 6am the owner instructed the in-house paramedic to request that the Emergency Task Force be dispatched, as it became apparent that the task was much more difficult to handle than one would have originally imagined.
Aware that we would cause some stress and inconvenience to our patrons, we deemed it necessary to immediately shut down the lobby area of the Kool Haus to insure the safety of all, as well as to facilitate the work being carried out by an emergency crew that could not reach the man from their location.
Upon the arrival of the ETF, we were informed that access to the Kool Haus washrooms was crucial for a successful operation. We then advised the DJ to put a stop to the music and inform the patrons that the party would be cut short. We began to transfer the coats for pick-up to the parking lot area where, haphazardly, an impromptu crew made up of all staff was assembled for the safe return of checked items. Under the circumstances we believe everything was done in the best way possible by a very competent and caring staff, notwithstanding numerous mistakes and a few delays.
Some of you may have a lot of questions! Why were we not invited to continue the party at the Guvernment? Why did the Guv side of the complex remain open?
In the end, some were allowed to re-enter the building once we felt it was safe to allow you to do so. However, the Guvernment main room could not take in over two thousand people from the Kool Haus. This would have only aggravated the situation yet we remained open in order to avoid having more people in the parking lot area, adding to the confusion.
So how does this bizarre tale end?
A man from Waterloo came crawling high up, out of the blue,
At about nine thirty safe and sore, with much to do,
Home we went,
And we will not at anytime sue,
‘Cause he may well live in an old shoe.
We at the Guvernment Entertainment Complex take your fun seriously. Your safety is part of our business. Therefore, we apologize for the inconveniences and look forward to seeing you this week when you will, once again, be dazzled by the tunes of the one and only world class DJ Mark Oliver.
Play Safe. We are your Guvernment! The Management.
