Bounced
Have you a story about getting thrown out or bounced from somewhere?
Last week, while we were in the city for hub's surgery, we drove past this bar/pub. I did recall and tell the story of how when I dated musician, his band was booked there, there was some miscommunication between the pub manager and the booking agent...so my boyfriend's loud rowdy band was thrown out right after set up and early in the first set. The pub was a small place, and only booked the soft dinner accoustical artist...the manager flipped out, the band was pissed, it was quite a night and I had to mediate the whole mess so the band would just leave quietly and the manager would pay at least a portion of their pay.

Re: Bounced
Well (and you knew you'd hear from my start-ass mouth) to quote Mark Twian: "Any club that would have me, I would'nt want to be a member of it in the first place". So I'm safe enough. May have been times, but was probably too intoxicated to remember. See, alcohol has it's upside. So I'll go with it.   and Thank you!

Re: Bounced
Having bartended and danced for over 11 years I couldn't count all the stories I have about people getting bounced. I personally have never been bounced out of anywhere.
I worked in a bar in Tampa Florida where a guy some of you know as Hulk Hogan used to come in often, at the time he was just Terry. Little guys used to love to get drunk off their ass and try to pick a fight with him. It was actually funny to watch him basically just stick his arm out and hold them at bay till some bouncer would come carry the idiots out.The man is a big guy and very strong he actually picked me up with one arm out of the middle of a brawl to get me to a safe place.I was very happy he was there that night.
Another place on Staten Island had a bouncer that was related to my ex husband. He also happened to be a professional lineman for the Cincinnati Bangles and an ex green Barret. Some idiot made the mistake of grabbing my ass in front of him. He was picked up off the ground by his shirt collar in one hand and was made to apologize to me then deposited outside on the curb.

Re: Bounced
Never got bounced, but in thirty plus years of gigs, many on the road, I know I haven't seen it all because everytime I thought I had, something new or stranger would happen....so let's just say I've seen too many things to mention here...pick the wierdest thing your mind can come up with, I probably have seen it at least once, lol

Re: Bounced
As for myself, I have never been thrown out of anyplace. I am always welcomed wherever I go.
I do however recall one night, going to a club to see one of my favorite bands and as I was walking down the sidewalk to the entrance, a body came flying out of the plate lass window to the place. I dont know if he was bounced or not, but he was definitely hurled!

Re: Bounced
I was not technically bounced out. My roomate and I went to Glory Days, restaurant/bar. When the band starts, everyone under 21 had to leave. She was 18 years old. I had hoped to convince them to let her stay, because she didn't drink.
Well, I was good friends with the three guys in the band, and one of the blonde waitress asked me for my I.D. I handed it to her, I had no problem with her checking. I don't know what her problem was, but she said, " I wouldn't want to show anyone either if I looked like a damn Mexcian." Then she tossed it to the floor.
Okay, so in about half a second, I picked up my I.D. and headed for her. It was on... Lucky for her, the three guys were on me, coming between us... grabbing me, and saying, "No.. no.. no."
We left, because of my roomate, but as we walked out the door, I can remember Jimmy saying, " I don't even want to play now."

Re: Bounced
Could you imagine if they gave that waitress a job with any real power? Think TSA at Newark airport. I know some of you know exactly what I mean. Kiss you are nicer than me. I would have had to be bailed out of jail never mind bounced out of the bar if she did that to me when I was that age.

Ditto that. Tucson is a very diverse city. I'm very close to numerous people of all color's and race's. I am offended by prejudice of any kind. I'd made that a reverse bounce. No  for that beeeouch.

Re: Bounced
It takes awhile to remember, but there was a time I was totally bounced.
It was me and 3 other girls. I would have been 16. My girlfriend was getting married and found out her husband to be and my other friend's boyfriend went to "My Place" bar.
They weren't having that, so the two of them went in. Marsha, who was 15, and I sat on the steps. So, here comes a truck load of rednecks, and they start hitting on us. I didn't feel comfortable, so we walked around the building and I saw a door. I opened the door and we walked in.
It was dark, but we were slap in the middle of the club. Next thing, some guy grabs my arm saying I snuck in. I said, "No'. and tried ot exit the same way I came in.
Nope. He took Marsha and I into a office where the owner was sitting behind his desk. We were sat in chairs, and accused of sneaking in. I explained we were being harrassed, and saw the door as a get away.
Then he asked the bouncer why the door was unlocked..? I said, "Yea, why was the door unlocked?."
We were escorted out of the building, where we patiently waited for the other two girls.

Re: Bounced
I've never been bounced from a club, but I've been the one that did the bouncing. I was a bouncer for six-years in the early nineties. Many a nights I had to escort people out to the sidewalk. The town I live in is small enough that you get to know who is a rival for the other, and you keep that rivalry in the back of your mind if they are in the club at the same time. I always kept a watchful eye out for trouble.
I can tell you from experience that there is something to the whole full-moon thing. They were weekends I used to dread the most working the door. Sometimes it came to fist-a-cuffs, but most of the time I just relied on my wit and charm. It took me a long way on that job. Like one night, Indian-Joe, a Native-American with a bi-polar complex, used to drink until he could barely stand. At that point he would pick a fight with anyone willing to entertain the notion. He decided this night that I was looking too relaxed at my perch by the door.
"I'm gonna kick your rass, fight me you pussy!"
"Would you mind doing me a favor first?" I asked
"The bartenders asking me for a case of beer, so if you could go outside and stand out on the sidewalk, I be more than happy to help you out after."
"Well, okay." he murmured, his liquored breath giving me a contact-high. He staggered out into the street as I locked the front door and turned my back on him. He was out and not a punch was thrown that night. The other patrons laughed at the whole situations ending. I called the cops and they picked him up, but not until after he stumbled into the bar next door and picked a fight with everyone in there, because he couldn't get served. Then there was Boring-Bob, the back breaker...

Re: Bounced
Oh Giant you must have bounced in a few bars I worked in. The stories are all the same it seems. I know the best bouncers we ever had anyplace I worked were the ones that knew how to avoid a fight, not be the best fighter. My middle son bounces and my oldest bartends and I have taught them that lesson as well.If your big as soon as someone gets the beer muscles on they look to start a fight. I have had two really small bouncers that were really good because they had a knack for keeping the peace but also knew how to deal with physical situations as well. The worst fights I have ever seen always involved women. No bouncer in there right mind gets in the middle of that! They just try to separate them. I have been told by more than one bounce that I would make a hell of a good bouncer because most times I dealt with things myself. I didn't understand there were times I should be scared. I am much more apt to have a bouncer handle things these days. I now realize, damn I can get hurt.

Re: Bounced
I remember the day I quit, like it was yesterday. My boss was one of those, "friends with everyone" type. He didn't like to make waves and had a hard time standing behind his bouncers and the house rules. If we ejected someone for fighting in the bar, a first offense, was barred for 30 days. Most of the time, near misses were only out for the night and they were back in the next. Kenny, my boss, was wavering as usual when I told him,"You let him back in here before the thirty-day mark and I quit!". Kenny not only let him back in the very next night, but he also tried to make a joke out of it in front of friends. I walked out. The next morning, I found out the kid had gotten into another fight at the bar and after being thrown out, got in his camaro, drunk of his ass, and ran over a guy on a bicycle. He hid out for three days until his mother turned him in. His plan was to turn himself in, after sobering up and fixing himself an alibi. It was kind of funny, the whole ordeal. He made it out to be just a tragic accident, the cops not being able to prove how much he had been drinking, but there was an eye-witness who claimed he aimed and steered into the breakdown lane barreling down on the victim. He got a five-year sentence for manslaughter, a first offense for him, but only served a year-and-a-half before entering a boot-camp program which gave him consideration for early parole. I never worked another day for Kenny...
