When you show up half cut at 10:00pm looking for meat, in dim light, with the music pounding, the show lights doing their thing, people crowded everywhere, you don't tend to pay fuck all for attention to the ratty floor, black painted concrete walls, bare rafters, or whatever else. I've seen it happen time and time again. club runs for a couple years,they shut down for renos. slap a new layer of paint on, move the bars around a little bit, and put some new lights up, change the name, and bam brand new super sweet club that everybody is talking about.

Yup, very true. But in our case we put in a lot of money in it and didn't take the easy way out. We made our money back from the first few years and we do it out of pride and ownership since we had a lot of celebrities hanging out but If I were to blindfold myself and had a spray gun and painted the whole place black nobody would have noticed a different. Like you said, you show up to drink, dance hook up and have fun. Its not a 5 Star hotel that we are trying to impress guests.
