is doing this for a living worth your $25?

[thirsty moore]

Yes -- all that is nice -- but it needs something more.  Something that seperates the 930 from the rest of the pack.  
 
 And that is where HAND SANITIZING LOTION comes in.  Sure, the 930 has promotional matchbooks, but what bar doesn't?

 And waitresses -- scantily clad waitresses.  Maybe in little French Maid outfits.

That would get you a nice starter condo in NW DC. [/b]

Not all of DC is the NW I am sure you can buy a house in DC for less, just not somewhere very nice to live.
 
 condos are starting around $150 to $200 these days.....
 
 Oh and the Bethesda houses were terraced and just like a two storey condo.

 don't think the VIP area would really be hit with many of the regulars here, seeing as most of them like to hang out in front of the stage.  and isn't that what the backbar is for anyway.
 
 my thoughts on the subscription plan is that i wouldn't want to commit to certain number of show a year.  i would however be willing to pony up a membership fee for the privledge of being able to buy presale tickets direct from the club throughout the year without having to pay the tickets.com fees.  obviously the number of tickets available this way would have to be limited, but then again not everyone in the 9:30 fan club would be getting tickets to every show.  rules would have to be in place to prevent ticket brokers from taking advantage.  it would be nice if older members would have priority in requests for tickets over newcomers.  then again all of this sounds like similar clear channel tatics.  but it could save fanclub members time and money.

Actually, a few times I've gotten quite close to calling the club and asking, heyl what can I pay for access to the VIP area in front of the upstairs bar?  I think it's a great idea.  While I love love love to see bands at 9:30, I'm not going down front anymore.  I'd love to have a great view from upstairs, close to a bar and with room to dance!  I've never wanted to mention it because I assume then everyone will want to do it.  But hey, it's not like I have access now!  
 
 As for the subscription, someone already made an excellent point.  Someone willing to pay for something like that is already going to go to every show he/she wants to see.  Obviously, money isn't an issue.  I could afford a subscription, but wouldn't bother because I always see what I want to see anyway.  Don't think I've ever not gotten tickets to a show (graned, I'm not seeing Michele Branch....)

free passes to non sold out shows for people who go to more than 24 930 club shows a year.
 
 Get people to non sold out shows and if they get in for free will probably buy a few beers to a show they probably would not have otherwise gone to.

And get rid of the miserable bastard that works the back bar and turn it into a place were these scantily clad waitresses give lap dances. [/b]

No way! He's my favorite! And that's coming from a bartender's point of view.    
 
 Forget the scantily clad waitresses. The club is already outnumbered by attractive women. We need more sexy guys waiting on us hand and foot. Sexy guys in tight pants. I'm not sticking around for any women. I want some male action.

Yes, we should be ruled by the poor.  They're not bright or resourceful enough to get a decent job, but let's put them in charge of leading the country.

GGW makes a bit of a point with this snide comment, though, don't y'all think?

There's a little bit of elitism in all of us....

Wealth does not make you intelligent. It does however buy you the publicity that it takes to win an election. (how much did the current NY mayor spend on his campaign)
 
 Personally I would like to live in a meritocracy.

Hey, I never said the "plutocracy" was a bad thing, but with all the soft money and special interest money it is definately a government controlled by the wealthy.
