While I'm thinking of it, this just hit me while in the shower (the
beauty of self-employment is making your own schedule.)

If you think I'm holding bands to a high-standard with my booking
procedures, you may have noticed that we currently do not have music
trivia on the 506 schedule. Let me just say that music trivia night
was my idea and my favorite thing to come out of buying a rock club;
however, over the Fall attendance started to wane so as much as I love
doing that night, I took it off the schedule and gave those Sundays to
free-for-all shows.

Again, I love trivia night and have enough trivia ideas to fill a year
of trivia nights, but I had to make way for something that I thought
might work out better for the club. In fact, one of my suggestions to
my trivia partner Phil was that we contemplate doing it in another bar
besides 506 (ie: a smaller room!)

As Pete Gamble mentioned in an earlier post, clubs do have
overheads...and my nightly overhead is closer to my current monthly
rent (and no, I don't have roommates!) And it has to be paid, none of
the bill collectors, or the town of Chapel Hill for that fact, has cut
me a break because of what we provide the community.
