let me get this right, cause hey i could be wrong...
an analogy: if i go to a steakhouse and order a ribeye, baked potato, and a salad and they give me a hamburger steak, fries, and a piece of lettuce, that's the same thing? i'm not gonna be pissed and complain or leave and not come back?
if a customer comes in and asks for a song, i'm supposed to play a different song and thats gonna be fine with them? because you're tired of hearing it?... because you don't like the song or that type of music?
less than 1% of the requests i get are for rock but i should play it?
we lost over half the customers that were in there in less than 30 minutes. this just doesnt make sense. but of course what do i know.

a month between posts. lazy me.
competition in the local bar industry, deployed troops, cost of living, and other things going on.
it's like we're fighting this big uphill climb to keep things going. and believe me i'm trying. but how the hell do i get it done with what i have to work with? i dunno.
good news is we've got a concert on the way, http://www.kevinfowler.com/ in november. but after that i dunno.
its also been kinda weird lately. people asking for stuff that they should know NO ONE is gonna be dumb enough to play in a club that size. "the hamster dance"? seriously? and i'm supposed to be "nice" to the customers and make everyone happy as much as i can. i'm getting cussed out, complained at, flipped off, told i suck, told the club sucks, and worst of all - losing customers. and there ain't a damn thing i can do about it.
its an excersize in futility, sometimes u just want to hang it up and go elsewhere, but there's no place to go.
dunno what to do... again.
