I have a few fingers to point. (so cover your eyes)
if they advertised
if they had different residents, rotate them, get someone from out
of town
if they got some big names in there with some smaller names to back
it
if that place did not have the cold atmosphere it has
if most of it clients were not part of the greek system
if lansing had a scene of more then 100 people that came out
but I think the big issue is diviristy of artists, everyone has saw
the people that are being brought in several times here and in detroit. also
for the first three months it was open there was nothing but the 5 residents
that play there, they should have opened up with someone like acquaviva to
bring people. you have to start out with a bang because a wet fuse wont burn
and takes a long time to dry. there is some kind of crowd for the music DGP
and jame p had the place rockin' but I remember a little more advertisment
then an email sent a few days before the show. which I just recieved the
ghostly email a few hours ago.

that was a realy good show. I had a great time
I really dont know, except I'm disapointed that it did not work out, to be
something cool because there was a lot of promise there. it's a cool
location and venue.
I also think it has a lot to do with the customers, they would rater hear
dirty vagas or some other tripe I cant choke down, so when you get some
group like ectomorph in there they dont bother to get an electro dj to open
for them. then they have the band play at midnight for an hour and then have
the resident go back on. with more chezzy tech house, just did not fit the
headlining artist.
