So a Guy Walks into a Bar...

Angie Carlson

Angie Carlson
Marketing Director, Full Throttle Saloon

"One day, this guy comes up and told me that he was tired of that and he wanted a picture of something different. So I hopped up on the bar and sat on his head!"

What do you do for the Full Throttle Saloon?

On my business card, it says that I'm the marketing director for the Full Throttle, but in reality I'm just attached to Mike's hip. I help him with anything and everything that goes down at the Throttle. I also do a comedy burlesque show in Deadwood and I have a group of girls who are dancers working for me.

What is the theater show like?

We have a New Year's show, a Valentine's Day show and lots of other shows. It's a lot like vaudeville, with comedy, burlesque and dancing. We pick on the audience, bring them up on stage and have fun with them. We all have burlesque names in the show, like "Fanny Shakesalot" or "Anita Goodlovin" and we'll always bring a female audience member up on stage and have some fun with her.

Describe your fans.

They're great. I had one guy bring in every single member of his family, and took a picture of each of them with me sitting on their head. And not just the guys, he brought in his mom, his uncle, his sister, his aunt; it was 13 people and after each picture he handed me a hundred dollar bill.

There is another guy who gets the picture every year, and then puts it on a t shirt. So each year he shows up with a picture from the year before on his shirt. He has about 10 shirts by now.

Is it still fun for you?

Oh, my gosh, yes! I have bikers in my blood. My uncles are all bikers. I grew up around bikers my whole life and now I've fallen in love with a biker!

Are there Sturgis residents who don't care for the event?

There are, but they mostly clear out of town during the rally. They might gripe about it, but they also know that because of this rally, their house is worth a lot more.

How do you stay in shape?

I'm on "the Michael exercise and fitness plan" (laughs). He works you so hard and so fast all the time, you don't get any chance to rest. Then you realize you're not only getting your physical workout, but you don't have time to eat (laughs).

The real reason is that once upon a time, I actually did competitive power lifting, which built me up pretty good. I don't do so much of that any more, but I am dancing all the time.

Last year was the 10th anniversary of the Full Throttle Saloon. What did you do to mark the anniversary?

We held a custom-built bikini contest. The girls who work here just took whatever crazy idea they had in their heads and they made bikinis and the customers voted for their favorite.

What was the winning bikini made of?

A girl made her entire bikini made out of candy.

Did anyone eat it?

You bet. One of my good friends took a big bite right out of her butt.
