The Annual Host Convention!
Picture this. It’s a quiet Monday night in January. Usually the hosts who work in the Zero Group’s bars would be giving their hair a much-needed rest, kicking back to annihilate some video game zombies, and ordering take-out. But tonight is different from all other Monday nights. Tonight is The Annual Meeting!
In any business, it’s important to set production goals, vow to outperform the graphs from last quarter, and boost sales, but in the case of host clubs, this turns into a ballroom full of the hottest guys in Kabuki-cho, getting pumped up to out-bling, out-drink and out-flirt themselves in the new year! Let’s get out there and chug one for the team, boys!
