OK, i like:
1. live band (rock/punk/honky tonk/art punk/screamo/jazz/etc.) from about 9 to 12 or so. Live music sets the fucking crazy weasel precedent.
2. Good system with full range on the amps (not just marsh bass and tweeters, but midrange as well).
3. Food is good and stereo already has that.
4. Balcony for socializing/breather.
5. Ping-pong table with honor system (no barfing, stealing, fighting)
6. Cold taps for refill.
7. Elevated levels near dance floor so people can watch and experience without standing directly in the pit and making all the dancing lunatics feel weird.
8. Nice security.
9. Some lighting so assist with socializing (i know that the darkness is some people's abg, but when talking to stranegrs, i like seeing some faces, dig?).
10. DJ booth at or really near ground level.
11. Come to think of it, maybe a place like a larger hemisphere gauche without the stage.
12. No smoking - or at least outdoor patio for smokers and the like.
13. A cool name like "electric sound buffet".
14. I know this can't be built, but advertising in a lot of different media - punk boards, gay village mags, tranceaddict, weeklies, skate parks, lesbian nights at parking, value villages, etc. Diversify the crowd and watch hilarity ensue.
15. clothing optional rules.
16. quasi-gallery space for local artists (plastic display cases with good lighting systems).
This is not to say that the venues in town are crap. Far from it. But a synthesis of the stuff that actually works (stereo's system, hemisphere gauche's layout, zoobizzare's comfiness, friendship cove's eclectic mix of weirdos) would be nice.
