rev:text	Hi Everybody, I really thought I was done with these but the story I have is waaaay to good not to be told. A couple of close friends and I went to see the Ryan Davis Standup at the Tempe Improv. I do need to state that one of my close friends that was with me) is a very good/famous professional heavyweight fighter named Cain Velasquez (this is very relevant to the story). At the end of the Stand up we all decided to go the Piano bar on Mill Ave to hang out and have a good time. Overall the night was going great but we decided to head back to our car that was parked in the garage next to Casa Sumba. Cain's wife was one of the members in our group. At this time his wife is over 5 months pregnant. She needed to stop for quick bathroom break, so we decided to stop there. The plan was to go in and have drink while Cain's wife handles her business. The bouncer at the front was a bald guy with red facial hair. As we walked up the bouncer the bounces goes right for me and checks out my clothes which I thought was very silly cause I was wearing normal size everything. He did see that I was wearing Jordan sneakers. With a smirk on his face, he let me know that "Jordans weren't allowed in the restaurant". I honestly thought he was joking. Now Mill Avenue as whole has a reputation for trying to block certain demographics from entering their establishments. I have had issues when I college (nearly a decade ago) getting into places at night when I was wearing very similar clothes as other people that were allowed in. All of these places that I have issued with back then are now out of business. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER REVIEWS THAT STATE RACE as the reason for a poor experience at CASA Sunba. Once I could see that the bouncer was really going to deny my access, I became dumbfounded. He was literally the first bouncer I have ever seen that has turned away Cain. 99.9% bouncers know who Cain is and love it when he comes around. I could tell this bouncer was/is special. Like I said I have been denied access to places before, so I usually just laugh it off and go about my business. The problems came from my friends being more pissed than I was. The group I was traveling with was pretty diverse but I was the only black guy. I don't think they were used to getting turned away over petty BS. Well they learned that day. I am always glad to share my experiences with people of other races. I was trying to tell my friends that are was okay and that these things always turn out for the better. Cain's wife was very unhappy but still needed to use the restroom. The bouncer had zero reason to not let her in and might I add again she was 5 months pregnant. The bouncer actually had the nerve to stop her and give her hard time about going in. He actually blocked her and held her up. Now I was nervous. I don't care if you are bouncer that does tabeo 7 days a week. You are NOT tough enough to stop Cain if he goes off. There probably weren't enough bouncers on that entire block. The bouncer was very lucky that he let her through when he did and he was the only smart thing he did was not touch her cause I knew that would be an instant problem that he couldn't handle. The bottom line is I understand policies and people doing their job. I also identify a bouncer with ego issues and whatever else that dude had. I'm glad the situation didn't get any worse and overall my night was a blast. However neither my friends or I will ever go back to CASA Sunba. I will try to post a pick of me that night so you can see what I was wearing. It really doesn't matter because the Jordans were apparently the issue. It is 2017. How are wearing Jordan shoes an issue? If this is the restaurants policy then it obviously needs to be changed. If the bouncer took it upon himself to impose his on policies then that restaurants needs to think about restaffing. I'm sure this post will deter some people of color from going in. I'm black and Cain is Mexican and I A LOT of Latinos LOVE Cain. If you know me then you know my background and that I'm telling 100% truth about everything. I made my profile photo the same photo of our group that night. I could easily think of ways to blow this whole thing up but I don't think the actions of few should affect the people who had no part in these events. Thanks for reading!
