we have been tossing that idea around.
still not sure which would be better. both have + and -

thanks for the tip though

Pros:

1. Makes it more intimate. Something that people really like when it's possible. Instant appeal in that regard. I heard from people ALL THE TIME that they like when Ruby does that.
2. Place seems fuller than it would be with the setup on stage.
3. When people first show up and the setup is on stage, people are tentative to even take a step on the dance floor until some drinks are in them...they just hang around the edges of the floor. This setup make it more attractive to get near the DJ to have a drink when the place is first opening...a lot of people are curious to what the DJ is doing and can see what's up easily


Cons:

1. Causes a huge empty area behind the DJ setup. A shocker when you first enter, but honestly in my experience after a little bit you just forget the stage area behind the setup exists...
2. Can seem a little weird with RS regulars...just wonky.
3. I dunno....honestly....that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Anyhow, just my thoughts/reasons behind it. Your chizzoice!

couldn't agree there more with you Dave.
Looks like its going on the floor

the only valid point in a "cons" category is if it would
be too full , so you would actually need the extra space
on the dancefloor, but its highly doubtful we will get
to that point for these first few parties until the schools
starts again.

thanks for clarifying it to me.

as i said before, any comments, good or bad are highly
appreciated and welcomed.
