Themes are nice and all....  Great sound is better but the two combined 
are sure to be a loss in revenue.  Don't get me wrong I am not expecting 
to carve out a living in house music but I would like to break even.  I do 
have a mortgage to pay as well as a car and bills.  Long gone are the days 
where you could spend 1k on decorations and 2k on sound.    When it comes 
down to it the money goes to the sound and the decorations go out the door 
lol..

with the limited crowds we have today I think we should be thankfull that 
we are surviving at all.

Yes please stop lying to the venue owners.  oh and stop outbidding...  I 
hate it when a promoter outbids me and now that venue is too expensive.. 
blah!
