Vince Reed walks into a packed Florida nightclub and gets a table by asking confidently. His friend points out people in bright clothes standing out, calling it peacocking. Reed gets handed a fluorescent orange jacket and realizes everyone's marketing themselves.
Right here. Man and I, we're driving around Florida looking for spots. Guy pulls up to this club. It's so many people there. And now I'm nervous. But I remembered someone told me, they said, hey, you have to act like you've been there before. You have to act like you belong. So I just walked right up to the front, and I said, hey, how much for a table? And the guy told me, boom, we're in. And I couldn't help but feel like I was in, like, an episode of Miami Vice. I mean, people were walking in with the bright jackets and everything. And it was the first time I had ever heard the term peacocking. And that was what my right hand man told me. He's a little bit younger than me. He's like, look at that guy over there peacocking. I'm like, what the heck is peacocking? He's, like, wearing, like, bright clothes to stand out. I'm like, man, go get me some peacocking gear next time. Why? I don't have my peacocking gear. So, you know, he went out, ran to the store right during the club, got me this, like, fluorescent orange jacket, and I put it on. Totally kidding. But I wanted to. But anyways, we had a great time, had a fun time reminiscing about the day. And I can see why people love Florida, because it's nothing like it.
