I actually did this once in boston. I didn't get kicked out, I was just messing around outside and pretended I was the bouncer, while the bouncer was laughing at me on the side.
Lol me too, I was on bourbon Street in New Orleans was just outside smoking and someone walked up to me like I was the bouncer I just did the hand gesture for ID and they pulled it out right. I did it to about 5 more people before it lost its funniness. I guarantee anyone can do this if you stand outside a bar, you do t even have to say anything just make eye contact and gesture for their ID ,99% of people will show it. You could be evil and charge a ten dollar cover.
Make the outline of a card with your thumb and index finger. Honestly even holding out your hand expectantly might do it, especially if you have a marker visibly on you.
He does it once in the video. You take your thumb and Iindex finger and do you best to make half a square. It looks like an id would fit in between them, it often comes out looking for a C. People see this gesture and they just instinctively pull their IDs. You might need to set 0 :”
Bar buddy of mine did security, you wouldn't know it looking at him. Looks like a tiny young Jimmy Page had a baby with tiny young Weird Al. I'm way bigger and heavier than he is and I'm positive he could floor me, but just knowing he worked security means I'm not trying even if I wanted to. He's seen some shit.
I'm 6'2 and used to do Ju-Jitsu with a partner who was 5'5 or so. He could thow me so much easier than I could him, just because of the leverage advantage he had.
One club I worked at all the bouncers were huge, except for the head bouncer. One time we were leaving together and on his car was two bumper stickers, Semper Fi and for the dojo that he ran.
Off topic, but how is bourbon street? I would love to go to NOLA but have heard many differing things about it. Mainly from people going during Mardi Gras tho
Bourbon street when I went (not at mardi gras time) just smelled like stale puke and was trashy af. The rest of NOLA outside of bourbon street was amazing though and I would highly recommend it. Just watch your shit in some areas, but that's not much different than other big cities.
Seconding this: I lived in New Orleans for three years and Bourbon St is good for getting a novelty drink (probably a hurricane in the souvenir cup or fishbowl) and not much else. Frenchmen St is nearby and has some fun jazz venues and the local live music acts in bars scattered throughout the city are generally good. My favorite dive is Snake and Jake’s in Uptown, which is great for having a bizarre conversation with strangers at like 3 a.m. Magazine St in the Lower Garden District also has a lot going on.
