it's time to play...ASK AN OWNER!!!

just wanted to let everyone know that I'm here to answer any questions. I don't have time to comb through all the other topics, so this is the best way to get an answer.<P>you did want to ask me something, didn't you?<P>hello?

Your club is very professional. I hardly have any complaints, unlike the babies on this message board (ie. ticket prices, sound quality, etc.). Although, I do bring up two issues:<BR>1. Last nights show (Beta Band), it was freezing cold in the club. Was it just me? I thought it was very frigid.<P>2. How many floor people do you have working for you looking for contraband? It seemed like every two minutes I was getting bumped into by an "undercover" employee with a flashlight.

Seth,<BR>This is Ken O'Donnell I am the owner of the Mystic Theatre in Petaluma,ca and I am looking to change ticket distributers and would like to ask the final reason's why you switched to tickets.com as that is who we have now and we were looking at ticketweb.com<BR>if there is a time I could call you or my e-mail address is mcnears@aol.com<BR>thanks Ken

hey seth,<P>1) how's the follow-up coming along with respect to reviving the contests? when i first mentioned the topic, you seemed receptive. change of heart? what harm can there be in offering up a pair of tix to shows that have low probability of selling out? <P>thanks for your consideration.<P><p>[This message has been edited by situtu (edited 04-09-2002).]

If you could have any artist still performing come to your club (even if it would tank), who would it be? And why aren't they coming?

How often do you hire new staph members?

Is Loretta a hard one to get to do a club? I know she played the Bumbershoot Festival out in Seattle last year. Unfortunately, I was not there. Oh to hear Loretta sing "Fist City" just once.

Seth, what determines whether the seated section in the upper balcony is closed off or not? I remember that in the past it was open for most shows (not roped off), but in the past couple of years it seems closed more frequently.<P>Also…any plans in the future for slight alterations to the club or a re-design? There's not much that I would change.

I know it's been suggested before, but if possible, it would be cool to upload some photos now and then. The bands, crowd, staff, etc..

That guy, the really big one with a beard, bald head, lots of piercings and tatoos really scares me…will you make him go away??<P>Just kidding on that one….would you be open to making one of the side bars in the main area a non-smoking section…it would have to be on the "honour system" so to speak, so not asking your staff to kick smokers out if they go to that bar, but I believe most concert-goers would co-operate with such an idea.

(just like everybody else, right seth?) sweet deal, huh?<BR>

Oh! So you're the guy that churns butter at the 930 club.

But the milk maid uniform fits him so well…
