I had pretty much the same experience this last Saturday and it was my freaking 41st birthday!! I had the same jeans on as my 3 friends that were with me. The door man looked at my pants and said he was sorry but I can't come in. We pointed out that my jeans were no more baggy than my friends or several more guys that walked in. Now I was wearing a Korn concert shirt and I have a shaved head. I'm assuming he thought I some skin head gangsta or something stupid like that. Oh, and I'm a dorky white dude for what it matters. After 30 mins and having the 20 odd people that were part of my bday celebration who were already inside threatened to take our $ someplace else he finally let me in. Like the previous poster I was very conflicted. I however chose to go in and enjoy the rest of the night though I was still fuming. I decided to be bigger than him so I shook his hand and said thank you for letting me in. I don't think he was expecting it. Anyway, it was an unfortunate experience and I will never go there again.
