Rick has decided to change the operating hours on Sunday so that they will be closing at midnight from now on. He neglected to tell me this until just half an hour before Breakland started last month -- which is rather uncool, if you ask me.
This means that we'd have at most three hours to spin music, if we started as early as 9 -- but since the place still operates in restaurant mode until 10, that means having toned down music for the first hour. And given the limited hours, there's no way we could practically charge cover. Add to that the difficulty of trying to draw a crowd on a Sunday night for dancing.
So I have decided to pull the plug for now. I may try to get a better night at Luka's (Wed - Sat might be viable), but given the frustrations I've experienced, I'm probably going to try for another venue instead. Which is too bad, because this place really has a lot of potential. Arrgh...

Re: no more Breakland at Luka's
Tue, March 1, 2005 - 7:12 PMI was there last night and it seems like they're going into the R&B ish influence there, which might work best for their restauranty thing (which does kick ass---everything I've tried is delish).

Re: no more Breakland at Luka's
Wed, March 2, 2005 - 5:21 PMI agree, Sunday night SUCKS as a time to go dance. Each time, I've thought about going, and then been exhausted, and realized I had to get up early to go to work, and not bothered going, even though I knew it would be cool.
Hope you find a better venue, or a better time!!! It kicked ASS, the one time I was able to go (Thanksgivingish?)

Wed, March 2, 2005 - 11:14 PMYeah, the Thanksgiving eve event was the best of all of them. The previous Wed. night we did also went pretty well.
If anyone is going to be happy about this change, it will be my day job manager, as he won't have to deal with my being so bleary-eyed one Monday a month!
Anyway, thanks to everyone who gave their support... -
