would've been classic to see you sitting chillin on the corner of hamilton waiting outside for your buddies to come out.:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

AaronM, Don't know if you remember me from nina's party in nyc a little while back, but i thought that u were a down to earth guy.

that shit is fucked up. in ny we're so used to doormen being dickwads that we just go off to a different place. god-forbid any of my friends went in with out me. they'd be done!

That fucking sucks Aaron..Believe me I wouldn't have gone ahead without ya.I was in the burbs Saturday night and honestly would have hoped the people who live here would have not let that happen to our guests.I tend to stay away from the downtown clubs just for that fact...
Perhaps they didn't know you were left out.Well I hope that doesn't leave a bad taste about Vancouver.

Hmm never done much with Aaron but you seem like a good guy, boneprone on the other hand is a class act.

I have missed quite a few shows lately as well..this vegas we need to hook up for sure..and I am all low key now as well, so lets get together and catch up

Did you tell them how many posts you had at gfy?

That should have worked!

Kinda is an eye opener, eh Aaron?

This business has the largest percentage of "Fair Weather Friends" bar none. Yes, pun intended.

I owe you a beer or pepsi in Vegas.

thats fucked up man, you would think that a smile wouldnt be an issue. im happy becouse i have a great fuckin job and dont have to worry about what im going to drink tonight, unlike alot of the people down at the end sucking down there drafts

My girlie and I didn't have any problem getting in being chiquitas and all, but we were like nope, gotta let any gentleman friend of ours in at the same time or we're not coming in. They just pulled the rope back again. I think it is really obnoxious for anyone to leave a friend on the other side of the velvet rope. That is like grounds for mortal-enemyship in Los Angeles.

damn! i don't leave the door till acquaintances get in. if you come together, it only makes sense to enter together. those guys showed a serious lack of class.

boneprone, i am pretty impressed with your perspective here, and totally agree.

i don't consider many people to be my friends, and i am rarely disappointed by the people i consider friends. loyalty is what it's about. people who don't even thank people publicly on a board for a nice time are beyond me - i thank every designer on gfy and awi who does a good job for me. everyone deserves recognition when they do something cool, and what the FUCK does it cost to post on a board?

sometimes people are just too fucking stupid...

Aaron, there's a terrible wave of self-importance going around with these doormen at bars. They are doormen at bars, they aren't the owner, they aren't big players, they aren't professional atheletes and they aren't rap stars.

At some point the bullshit has to stop. Whatever happened to "the customer is always right" ??


Not too long ago I went to a little trendy college bar in West Chester, PA, 25mi west of Philadelphia. They wouldn't let one of my friends in (group of 4) because he was wearing a shirt without a collar. There was no cover so I went in and told the doorman that if I found one person in the place with a collar I was going to call the manager/owner and complain. Sure enough, I saw at least 3 people without collared shirts and our group was eventually let into the bar after some discussion with the owner, who had be to pulled from his office where I assume he was counting money.

Had my friend not been allowed in there's no way the rest of us would have left him out in the cold, and I would have given the local Better Business Administration a call.

That shit pisses me the fuck off.

Aaron stop pussy footing around.

DH

That sucks man!!

Next time give me a call and I might be able to help.

Sorry I missed you this trip. I'll get you lunch next time you are up this way.

I agree with juicy , all in or none in.

big deal

Live and Learn.

Aaron I can't believe you have the balls to bring up this story.

You were being a dick to the doorman, I am sure you were just doing it to be funny but obviously he didn't share the same sense of humor. While I was waiting in line you continued to argue with the guy and be a real arrogant prick after the fact.

If you had not been such a dick I would have been able to get you when I called Charlo and got him to come out and help us get 20 or so in.

I noticed in this post you were not naming names but I am sure I was one of the people you were pissed at. The only person you should be pissed at is yourself, you made yourself look like an asshole. If you had just backed down a bit and been a little less in your face we could have gotten you in for sure.

First of all we are friends, and if I was with you I would have of course left with you once this had happened. BUT you arrived 10 minutes before me and I had no idea you were even going to Bar None. We weren't even hanging with the same people!

I had a bunch of people who were with me and a bunch that were already inside waiting for me. Is that fair to me? Is that fair to my friends? Should I just dump them all and go with you since you decide you want to be a jerk and tell off some bouncer?

Hey man, I think I have been kind to you throughout the couple of years we have known each other. But I just can't believe you took this stab at me when we both know what happened outside Bar None and you KNOW you were definetely in the wrong.

DH

sounds fair enough to me

yup it is all about loyalty....you can always tell who is down for you go through any shit in your life and you find out really quick who is and who isn't. I just broke up with my girl of three years because she disrespected me as a man and my integrity and I dropped her. It is sad because finding loyal people out there our truely blessed people because most people are backstabbers looking out for them and only them. Sorry to hear about that Aaronm.....

Uh oh here we go.

looks like it :(

100 People go in, 1 left outside

Aaron, you shoulda came to Fluid on Saturday night.

Best night of the show. :thumbsup

If I arrived 10 minutes before you then how in the hell can you tell me I was being a dick to the doorman? There was no wait when I got there. You were not even on the scene when this went down. Please, tell me again how out of line I was.

That's shitty...I'm the type that take sticking up for you to the extreme, and end us both in jail...but we'd be there together.

For the record....A lot of people seem to think that this post was directed at them specifically...So far several people have contacted me on ICQ or by phone and have complained about me posting this thread. DH has ALWAYS had my back as have the others who have contacted me. This thread is not about them.

Aaron- _Sorry I couldn't doing anything more to help... I did try, you saw that I did.

I think it was a poor example of how a nightclub should be run. As far as the other clubs, I personally was treated very well, but I did see some pretty uncoll shit going on. Next time we get together we should designate a "host" like my boy Greg in Scottsdale.

In all, it was great to see everyone. I met some very cool people and look forward to getting together with everyone again very soon.

Boneprone- I couldn't have said it better myself...

Anyone who knows me knows that I am willing to go to the wall for any one of my friends, and it is indeed disturbing when people you consider your friends let you down.

Hopefully it doesn't take a "lesson" for those who have no conecpt of loyalty to learn that it's something that can't be bought or sold.

Yep that's how it supped to work! If I had been there I would have hung with ya. Hell I would have let you rest your head on one of my .............:winkwink:

wow this sure is a shocking turn in the story..haha

Aaron - That is brutal. I wasn't there, but that seems too damn weird. I don't think I've ever heard of anything like this happenning. BTW, do you know who the bouncer was? By any chance a 250 pound filipino guy with a shaved head that looks like linebacker?

bone - Well said. Though I don't count anyone as a friend unless I've known them for about 5 years. You on ICQ ever? Oh yeah, I'm the Indian guy that looked like he had trouble shaving.

Ah, the Cambie brings back so many memories...except I don't remember how most of them end.

Aaron acting like a dick to a bouncer and then getting refused entry?

Say it ain't so! :1orglaugh

I'm gonna have to find that guy and kill him. There can only be one.

Just for the record, Aaron and I have buried the hatchet. I thought this thread was directed at me and I took particular offence. Probably because I was spending all night setting up a new computer (god I hate doing that) so I was in a pretty bad mood to start.

Anyways sorry Aaron, next time I will kick the shit out of that bouncer for you and then smile at the fat fuck! LOL!

DH

Arron .. those fucks .. we dropped large at that bar ! ... you should of joined us at Fluid
