There’s been times where I sold the place out, and I walked in and the guy’s like, ‘Uh, ID?’ ‘No, you can’t ID me, man. I just sold this place out.’ People are just doing their jobs, but I think if you’re working the door at a venue where there’s a headliner, you should at least be like, ‘OK, this is the dude.’ Hannibal Buress Read Quote
