What an outrage!! I've got a story... a story of oppression and evil.
Saturday night I went out for a night on the town with a couple friends. I was rocking a gray three piece suit with a matching fedora. There's a bar here called "Capone's Lounge", complete with cigar humidor, martini experts, and overstuffed leather chair. Perfect, right? It's one of four bars that are part of a big building, but thats beside the point.
I approach the security goon, ID and cover charge in hand. I get a cute little duckie stamped on my hand and make my way in, when i'm manhandled. The said goon grabs my arm and says "Sorry, we don't allow hats." I look at him with a WTF look, and he produces a list of rules, one of which states "BASEBALL CAPS ONLY". Wow, what a travesty.
He proceeds to explain to me how "do rags" and ski caps were being worn, and they perceived them to be gang related. I had enough and asked to speak to the manager, they brought me the owner. I told him that my hat hadn't been "gang related" since his mom was in diapers. In the end, I got the old "well if I let you do it, I have to let everyone do it", and it ended. So I had to leave my hat in the car.
But after awhile we went to another bar, where I was complimented several times by staff and patrons alike on my headgear. Weird, huh? Should I write a nasty letter or something?
