I hope for your sake that this petty attempt at guilt tripping your clients gets seen as much as a band on a tuesday night. It isnt too much of a stretch to consider that it is Phog that should be held accountable to all the bands that have come thru to play a gig on a tuesday or wednesday only to get the old, "its usually busier in here" or some other excuse to get them to set up and perform. With that being said it cannot be denied that Phog is going the extra mile to bring these bands into the area, bands that would usually choose london or another venue on the way to Toronto... So a balance is one thing, sure its easy to see people not walking into a place like Phog for $3 a night, its just how people are. Cover is a luxury of a good band, not everyday schmucks or up and comers. The problem is not that there is music everynight the problem is that there was cover and music everynight of the week, and it has essentially cut off the people who used to attend Phog for the ability to sit and drink and talk or meet up. The essence of this is that the problem with this statement or blog or whatever you want to call it, is that it puts the onus on the patron.. Last time I checked there are other bars in windsor, other bars with music... We know phog isnt going to stop with music all together and it will be kind of nice to be able to have some more quiet nights. I guess either way if people are in your bar, you are making money... Maybe Phog should offer the bands cover free? ? ? Maybe the "show-going public" would go more often. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately you take for granted the customers that keep you afloat and little comments on little Blogs go a long way to bother certain people. I doubt I will stop going into Phog, its a great place with great people. A community that brings together many facets of the community, unfortunately it has become nothing more than a cash grab band hole, and cut its ties with the people that made it what it was. <BR/><BR/>I will be interested to see if the management of Phog will take any accountability for the failure of people to show up to nightly shows or if the same old line comes out that they are just providing a service... You provide a place to go and drink, but never forget who pays the bills... Dont take your customers for granted, thats how good things fail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
