Pregamed. Didn't attempt to order anything. Plus I wouldn't have been able to bring anything int the club anyway. They frisk you as you go in... its in a pretty shady area of DC.
So you were drunk and wandering around in a shady part of a notorious crime-ridden town, and are surprised that you got into trouble?

I'm certainly not excusing the actions of the bouncers, but when you play with fire...
 
On craigslist I'd put a posting in the gigs section and the jobs etc section. Title it 'Need help fixing corrupted .mov file' and offer a decent price. In the body of the message just say you have a corrupted mov file and you'd either like it fixed or have as much data as possible extracted. Offer a fair price.

I've never used elance so I guess the engineering section. You could also try the mechanical turk as well. I don't use a lot of subcontracting services so I don't know other sites.

First mistake

You deserved it. If you're posting about it, they didn't beat you too bad.


 
1. How the fuck did you take a movie our yourself getting the snot kicked out of you?

2. Going to the police days later makes you look like a clown. They'll take a report, but you might just get charged for underaged drinking at a minimum.

3. You rubbed your X off and were drunk, do you think are stupid?

I already have a couple underages under my belt so when the security guard mentioned cops... I realized they had no right to detain and hold me against my will. So I jetted.

Plus whats a fair price for this kind of fix?

Hopefully you fix the video, go to the cops, and find yourself with another underage 🙂

Edit - Clearly alcohol is causing problems in your life.
 
Lol at OP now that more details have come out. Drunk, wandering around a shady area of DC, fakes an ID, is put in a back room in a club by guys that are woefully bigger than he is, decides to run. Said guys chase after him and give him a beat-down. OP walks away with a few cuts and bruises and some ripped jeans. OP now whines to AT.

You're fine. I retract my previous post about what the bouncers did being wrong. It may be wrong in a general sense, but now that these details have come out you fricken deserved it; and you didn't get beat up that badly. I've gotten worse injuries while sparring. Shake it off and learn from it.

Some clubs will let underage people in but draw an X on their hand/wrist with a sharpie so they can't buy drinks.
Ah, I see.



OP: Yeah, rubbing them off sounds kind of stupid, especially if you weren't going to buy drinks anyway.
Sounds like you were on a roll in terms of stupid decisions that night though.
I can only hope that you had some of the stupid beaten out of you.

Unless you're crippled you probably don't have much of a case.
