I hate telling this but the place is closed for now. Not sure if and when it will be open back up. I went there the day I was to play there and had to see the gate down. I was pissed because the owner never called me to tell me what was going on. I called my friend to find out what was going on and he told me heard from the barmaid that they were having financial difficulties. I got the owners number from my friend and he called me back telling me what happened. At least what he said was their was an issue with the license and he forgot to take care of it. So for now it's still closed and I'm looking else where for work. My friend is too.

I was told there is someone who has the money and wanting to buy the place. The issue is talking with the wife. I would love for this place to have a new owner. My friend said we would automatically have a job there for sure and there would be no issues with the pay. I can only hope the deal goes through.

I just hate when they expect you to do all the work and they don't do nothing at all.

What work...You were hired to DJ not bounce, bartend, and serve food. Do you sweep and mop after too?

Let me say it this way sir. This place is run much differently then the PPL was run. They made sure they had what people liked to drink. They kept the lounge stocked properly. Also rarely did you have an issue with there not being a crowd in the place. I learned from the manager there that what they did was some nights they took money from other nights that went well to make sure everybody got paid the night they worked there. I just thought because the crowd was consistently a good size crowd that at the end you got paid from that. He told me he would already have the envelopes made up already with the exact amount each person was to get paid. So no isues with getting paid from that place ever and never a short.

I can't begin to tell you what's wrong with this but apparently the manager went to the Mixmastermachoman school of business. Most bars have a payroll not cash in envelopes at 2AM

If one leaves their house to DJ at any venue or gig that doesn't pay a decent fee for one's time and equipment and services, than one is an utter and complete sucker. I wouldn't dream of leaving my house to play a gig unless I was getting a rock solid fee, a fee that was certain to be paid, period. For me that means about $150/hour with a 3 hour minimum. And I'm new. And if I'm actually responsible for getting a significant group of people into a club? I'd better be getting $1,000 or more.

Playing in a bar with no people for no pay? An unthinkable and unimaginably stupid waste of time. I wouldn't even do it once. You are better off practicing at home. Hanging around drunks and not getting paid? Incomprehensible. And unpleasant. And a waste of the only thing you have on this planet of any real value: time.

Although I agree with what you are saying your fee would completely eliminate you from bars....Not that it's a bad thing but there would be very few options

I'm not saying Mix's DJing had anything to do with it, but... I may be seeing a pattern here.:laugh:

Oh... but the "Sexy Lady" is still there. Seems she mostly just stands around on the corner.:laugh:

This is the dumbest assumption ever. Nobody buys a bar that failed only to re-open it without making any changes.

More likely to happen: Bar stays closed indefinitely.
Other possibility: Bar gets sold, new owner has friends who DJ, place lasts 6 months and then closes again.

B-Sharp people in that area do because they love throwing money away. They get to act like big shots for 6 months and then default on all their bills.
