Good point, but I don't agree. The reason I said what I said is this doesn't strike me as a normal dive bar. First, dive bars don't publicize, they don't make the news. Putting an anti-GG message on Facebook is the pathetic action of a bar that wants to be seen as something it isn't. Second, the article mentions that it's on the tech corridor and is frequented by tech literati or whoever -- the exact people who will see "take off your Glasses" as the invitation for a personal stand.
Dive bars make the news the same way the old guy on your street does, by complaining about those "pesky kids". And everyone has a Facebook page, it's the new yellow pages. As for the tech corridor... yeah, you got me there. Unless, they're being intentionally antagonistic baiting those techies to get in touch with a more organic sense of what it is to be human. To abandon their electronics, drop their phones and pick up a Miller High Life. Ditch their Google Glass for some Wild Turkey on the rocks to accompany whats left of their soul. -But I doubt they thought that much about it. You're probably right. Cheap ploy that wasn't well thought out. BUT... there is a market for places that will be more of a "throw back", and don't allow technology. -You'll see...
It's going to be very weird. I'm imagining, oh I don't know, couples' retreats and high-end resorts and whatnot that market themselves as confiscating your tech paraphernalia on entry. I'm trying to think of something similar that already exists ... Alamo Drafthouse tosses you out instantly if you pull a phone, but that's more sensible than idealistic.BUT... there is a market for places that will be more of a "throw back", and don't allow technology. -You'll see...
