I just remembered something I've been meaning to mention. I got that same line again from a bouncer, about it being a private party. This was at the bar in LA close to the El Paso line, on 6th somewhere between Broadway and Wall, the name begins with a 'C' and it's 5 or 6 letters. Anyway, now I realize that it's barspeak for "we don't want you here, you funny-looking goon". That was no more a private party than it was at El Museo de Pancho Villa a few weeks before. Goddamn liars. Why not just come out with the truth? They're probably ashamed of being prejudiced against bearded white guys in serapes. Now, if I had been in town longer I could have understood it as my B.O., but I was still reasonably clean and fresh. Well, to hell with them, they'll never get my business.
End of rant. Just had to get that off my chest. Well, anyway, now you know if you walk into a bar and the bouncer comes around and says "sorry bud, this is a private party", you know what he really means. You no longer fit in his or the management's profile of a human being.
