Andy Milad, 20, was shocked to find a strict over-21 door policy on turning up at a Chicago bar with his Michigan-based "Wayne Szalinski" bandmates last weekend. But instead of cancelling the concert, they decided to make the best of a bad situation.
Milad's microphone was hooked up to the sound system inside, so his singing and guitar playing could be heard by the audience watching Andrew Adams, Kurtis Roy and Nick Galli onstage. Milad said the four-piece was unaware of the bar's entry policy beforehand.

"It was hilarious to perform to the streets of Chicago and watch the faces of confused passerby," he said. "People came from inside the bar to watch as well. All in all, it turned out to be a fun and creative solution to the problem and certainly beat going home unpaid that night."

You're allowed to vote, get married and by joining the army you can kill people, but we must protect people from having a drink.
They couldn't let him in without the "over 21" hand stamp?
The band probably got more publicity playing this way, anyway. Not to mention the extra business they brought to the bar.
