a) youre supposed to make it green yourself with the help from a little substance abuse, or
b) the people not in the greenroom are green with envy because you are

"In Cockney rhyming slang, greengage is stage, therefore greengage room is stage room and like most rhyming slang it gets shortened, hence green' room."

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Hooksett, NH | | | I played a gig last weekend and the "green room" was actually called the "bamboo room". All outfitted with retro bamboo furniture. It was in the basement of the club. The club had just re-opened with new owners. According to the employees the new owners didn't even know that the "bamboo room" even existed and we were instructed to keep it that way. On the wall the rules were written:
1) The first rule of the bamboo room is you don't talk about the bamboo room
2) What happens in the bamboo room stays in the bamboo room
3) The the third rule of the bamboo room is you don't talk about the bamboo room.
The funniest part was when we got shown the room by on of the cooks at the club, he pointed out their newest addition to the room, the newly installed "stripper pole"....classic.
