Minority
Yep, I already am seein's how I am a gay redneck. But that hasn't stopped me. Just cuz I don't drink Bud or Bud Lite and play softball. All ya need is a Thurs, Fri, and Saturday nite. I don't need at 50,000 sq ft club, that wouldn't fly, but a smaller venue just might. And who wouldn't want to go see a good concert? the 9:30 club and Nation are both multi use venues, nothing says that you couldn't have a country band come and play. I'd even have Southern Winds as the opener. And where does this "headbanging" idea come from? Heavy metal died in the 80s. Well for most people they did, southern md and Colonial Beach might be exceptions.....LOL......This isn't head banging music, this is dance til ya drop, sweat yer azz off and have a good time music

oh well
That is his issue, I am not afraid of haters, maybe he has doubts about himself, but that is not for me to decide, and believe it or not, I may already know him. I do know a lot of people in the county, so it wouldn't surprise me if I did. Besides, if it weren't for gay people, this would be a really boring election year LOL. Anywhoo, the music would still be good.

Re: Minority
Now something like that could fly. A multi-use venue like the 9:30 club wouldn't be a bad idea. They have awesome bands that come out and play. But I think that diversity would be the key for it to succeed. I don't think a club would do well if it were strictly techno, industrial, what have you

Yeee hawww
Personally I can't handle a crowd either, Ehesef know that. Her and I...don't do crowds very well. I won't even go to the Rail on a Friday night cause so many darn people in there. I seriously don't see the point or fun in going somewhere when you can't even dance cause it's so crowded. It just seems pointless to me.... :shrug:
I can have just as much fun at Dew Drop, drunk...dancing to Bluegrass, then going to a club every weekend. Call me old an old 21 year old Bingo player if you want...but that is just my opinion. I play Bingo & go to clubs.... what’s your beef???
I understand where you are coming from though....some people just enjoy that scene...I just don't think the majority of Southern Maryland does. Everyone is entitled to an opinion....hey I say go for it and try to open a club like that up. I can say...."Club New York" in Callaway they are trying to fly that idea...and they aren't doing all that great of business. Then again it is in the middle of Rt. 249...

Club New York
Club New York is far from being a real club......I don't even know why they even dared call it Club New York, it is nothing like those clubs. What I am thinking about is not like the Rail either, believe me, there would be plenty of room to move, I don't believe in being packed in like sardines either. And definitely a diverse club. Having bands come in, all types mind you, like the 9:30 would be the base business, the other parties would be the weekenders. But, I don't like going to these local bars, with the guys gettin all falling down drunk, and then starting fights because they thought someone looked at their girl.......The real fight would be getting it to be 18 to enter, 21 to drink. There is no problem with that at other towns and cities I have been too, I wonder why we in St. Mary's still have issues with that.

There are no issues with that, it's at the discretion of the owner of the establishment.Originally posted by Aimhigh2000

ABC
But it is trying to get the ultra conservative Alcohol Beverage Board to grant you a license that is the trick. Funny how some things work. I wonder if the power of the White House could influence them.....

Re: ABC
The politics that go on between the liquor board and businesses is ridiculous. One member took over ownership of a bar yesterday, I sure hope he has already retired from the liquor board. Its not that hard to get a license granted, it's keeping it thats that problem.

Re: This is why southern maryland fails
This thread took an ugly turn somewhere. Basically, it all comes down to preference, and there's nothing wrong with that. I think that those people who are from this area should probably get out of the county once and awhile and experience different things. However, those who believe St. Mary's is a "hell" should take a step back and see that the county has a lot to offer. These extreme statements one way or the other just don't make sense.
That having been said, I think that younger people definitely do need more entertainment options down here, but I don't think a club along the Nations or Platinum model would go over, if for no other reason than there aren't enough people to support it. Look at what happened to Club V in Waldorf. I personally think the Cancun Cantina model would work better, where there is country music on one side and your regular Top 40 music on the other. However, again, you would need to locate it in an area where it could draw people from St. Mary's, Charles, & Calvert counties, so that it could support itself.

Ok since were on the subject of bars in SOMD, WHAT IN THE HELL is up with the "shuffle board bowling" I was at Toot's last night and saw these people who acted like it was some kinda sport or something, I mean they were shaking their fist, giving high fives, and yelling like they was at a doing something that required talent. I think it was a league or something.

I was at Toot's last night too...Last night was playoffs or the championship or some such nonsense. They do really get into that. I like it, and will "shoot" a game every once in a while, but I can't see myself on a league...

Top 40
Love your opinions, but I would have to say no to country and no to Top 40. There is Catamarans and Cadillac Jacks and what not for that. There are also some good knock-about-joints like Friendly's Tavern in Great Mills, Hills Club in Mechanicsville, I am not sure of club V, heard of it, but never made it to see what they were doing right or wrong. I particularly do not like Platinum myself, far to over rated. Nation is of course my "home base" and it may be worth a shot, just not as big. Lord knows I don't even believe a club the size of a city block could make it here. I would even be willing to grab an old warehouse up in Mechanicsville. I just think a real progressive boost in the stale entertainment is needed.
And no shuffle board bowling, darts, pool, or horse shoes ROFL

Sally (one of the owners) told me that they are not putting a bar out there. You get your drink inside and walk out there, which is no different than what they do for horseshoes. I don't see a problem with that. How would that create a problem? Is it because they will have bands playing out there?
