I went to the Daniel Johnston show last night in high spirits. After the show let out I realized I had forgot something inside, so I knocked on the door and told security I needed to go in quickly and would be right out. It was apparent he was frustrated with my question, but after telling him politely I forgot an item and really needed to get back in for a minute, he agreed to let me in. Keep in mind there were still people inside. My boyfriend was standing by my side this whole time, so I told the security- not thinking this would be an issue- that I was going to bring him in with me. I wish I was exaggerating when I say that at this point, a female security guard lunged at me, shoving me hard with both hands, swearing at me for "scheming sh*t," and slammed the door in my face. My back hurts now, I'm a small framed girl with a soft voice and the aggression and violence that women displayed was completely unprofessional and out of line. I didn't try and push my way in, I didn't have an ounce of hostility in my voice, I simply said I was going to bring my boyfriend with me. Such an insane request.. Could they not have simply told me only one person in? Yes, but they resorted to an unjustified aggressive attack. It's really too bad that so many great artists perform here, because after last night I'm not sure I ever want to go back.
Pros: good bands
Cons: security is out of control
