This weekend I got my first bar ban. \u00a0I was asked to leave TePee Strictly Rock bar<\/a> and to never ever come back. \u00a0Which I did and which I won’t.<\/p>\n

(This post is here mostly for those people who were there on Saturday and who keep asking me what happened.)<\/p>\n

What happened was an escalation of misunderstanding, mostly of what is rock music, what is a rock bar, what is a live gig, and what are the behavioral boundaries. \u00a0I don’t claim to be an expert on the subject, but I do have an opinion, with which a few people agree. \u00a0Too bad, the band on stage and the owner of the establishment didn’t.<\/p>\n

It turns out I was too loud in the crowd. \u00a0It turns out I was making the band<\/a> uncomfortable by screaming requests for something heavier (AC\/DC, Rammstein, Metallica, etc) than Bon Jovi and Aerosmith. \u00a0Too bad I wasn’t familiar with the band’s repertoire – my bad. \u00a0And, it turns out that asking for a refund will get you kicked out. \u00a0No problem. \u00a0Maybe the band repertoire was a wrong reason to ask a refund for. \u00a0Maybe I should have mentioned the horrible sound engineering instead. \u00a0It’s too late now anyway.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, it looks like some people enjoyed the gig (there are YouTube videos). \u00a0So maybe I was inappropriate. \u00a0To each his own I guess. \u00a0TePee is not a rock bar in my book anymore. \u00a0And I’m not a wanted\u00a0customer in TePee. \u00a0Fair enough.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
