If you wear Google Glass in this Seattle bar, the hook from a well-known Brand Nubian song describes how you will be dealt with: "Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down." The only goggles welcome at The 5 Point Café (415 Cedar St) are Horace Grant goggles and beer goggles, apparently.
Owner Dave Meinert, who describes himself as a "thought leader," explained the logic: "First you have to understand the culture of the 5 Point, which is a sometimes seedy, maybe notorious place." "Part of this is a joke, to be funny on Facebook, and get reaction...But part of it’s serious, because we don’t let people film other people or take photos unwanted of people in the bar, because it is kind of a private place that people go."
Leave your grown up toys—not those toys, but don't bring them either—at home, as "ass kickings will be encouraged for violators."
