DevO Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 if you can`t re-do the flooring, another idea is to have a big tv screen or two set up inside the walls upstairs, always showing whats going on onstage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted July 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 A better view from upstairs would be great Kev-O. We aren't making enough money to be doing major reno's like that though. We should get some speakers up there sometime, which I think would get people dancing with the better sound and all. There's a long list of things we need to better the place. Hell, we don't even have an ice machine. For now I'm concentrating on the downstairs and making sure it sounds the best it can, as well as being the most comfortable it can be forpeople watching the bands. A major factor in why we aren't balls out like you would think is that we are a restuarant by day and it's a whole different scene then. For now, if you see the dance floor hopin', try droping some change. When you go to pick it up, sneak a peak. Don't get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 keep it up!!!! - it's the perfect place to put your coat & still be able to keep an eye on it while you're on the dancefloor - it's crammed enough trying to get in & out the door in the winter, if you take the wall down, that "walkway" becomes total dancefloor - if you are too tired/drunk/high to dance, you can lean on it, enjoy the band, & not get knocked into so much by buck wild patrons - it's much nicer to walk in the door & have even a slight bit of breathing space to survey the scene, as opposed to going straight into the mayhem Precisely what she said. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paan Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I say take it out, and just have some high, round tables instead. That way, you can move them out when people wanna get-down, or put them back when its a sittn' or lean'n band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I know this is probably completely structurally impossible, but if you're looking to get rid of something, that big brick column between the bar and the stage would be good. Despite my lack of architectural smarts, something tells me that thing is helping to hold up most of the building, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paan Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Plus... put the small, white chrismas lights everywhere along the cielling, and around that centre pole... creates a really cool effect for little money. I did it in my basement and it is groovy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 DOWN! i don't like the bottleneck between the giant brick thing and the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 agreed with Schwa after ya take off the hook part, knock it back a bit further away from the central pillar and free up a bit of space to get through there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I am in favour of the wall. It's a nice little rest stop on the highway of dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleMomma Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I agree with everything Palace Princess says, but at the same time, if you're moving the soundboard, you may want to talk to some sorta sound expert and find out whether the wall has a major impact on the sound in the room. Your house tech may have a grasp on the intricacies of the room, and how to make it sound good, but if a band brings their own tech and he/she won't listen to yours, the wall, or the pillar, or the fireplace, or the glass wall (or any number of unchangeable characteristics) may lead to unwanted distortion (of course you know these things). Catering musically to an audience of self-professed music-junkies, the level of criticism over a bad sounding room can get pretty annoying when you can't do anything about it, and will often lead to their enjoyment or hatred of a show. Therefore, if there's things you can do (and are contemplating doing) within your budget, please keep in mind the sound (although, if I do say so myself, PJC has always sounded great to me) :: (and I kinda like the wall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
show---whore Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 tear the mother fu©ker down, candles. that wall traps the bass in the corner and fucks the sound up on that side of the stage. it really open up that side of the bar as well. candles you sure also tear the brick off of that huge piler in the middle of the club that would make the improvment in pepper jack's. you'd gain atleast a foot on either side!
