The drink minimum so far is only for Friday and Saturday shows. Hope Tonic won't become Knit2 in trying to get as much money from customers as they could.
the problem the knit had, and tonic is having, is that this audience don' drink nuff. i'm not sure what the answer is, but the money problems are real. they got hit with unexpected expenses when they had to redesign the club to meet fire code violations. and keep in mind, even if the house is packed, 25% of the door only goes so far. the knit's response was to become a rock club, because those people drink. and actually i do know what the answer is. art shouldn't be dependent on an open market system. look at places where there are great festivals and you'll find government grants. _________________________________________________________________ Fast, faster, fastest: Upgrade to Cable or DSL today! https://broadband.msn.com
