[said in an English beggar accent] Please sir, just a look inside....
Ever wonder how to get into the hottest club of the moment, when you're not on the list?
No?
Well, I wrote about it anyway in the paper today. Turns out the biggest problem door guys have is rude people. If you're standing out there in the hot/cold, don't lash out at the door man. It's just going to make him pissed off. (Unless, as I witnessed once, you really ARE a high-paying customer, and damn him for not recognizing you.) If you want to score points, introduce yourself and talk about how cool the place is supposed to be.
Also, never say these things:
1. You're not letting me in because I'm [insert ethnicity here.]
2. I'm with the Dallas City Council and I'm going to revoke your license!
3. This is Dallas. This isn't L.A. This is Dallas!
4. I know [name of man who runs the club]. (Sometimes the owner is the guy staring right at you.)
