May Oden and his son Thor forever shun thee. Went to see a show here but didn t even go in. The door lady was extremely rude and treated me like a criminal for having the skateboard that I rode there on, and a back pack with dry erase markers that I use for work. I was extremely compliant and had no problem stashing my stuff somewhere safe in the bar (which the door lady sughested), I even voluntarily showed the door lady the contents of my bag which included a bottle of water, band aids, and an old paperback edition of the selected poems of WH Auden. The door lady, however, had an attitude from the minute I walked up and asked politely if I can bring in my skateboard. I am from out of state, in California for work, and was really looking forward to seeing some quality heavy metal on Sunset Blvd. Worst experience at a metal venue I ve ever had and I ve been going to shows for 15 years.
