karohemdGood things:
- The PA system is good and works well with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dj_slingshot's gear. Together with his lights and decks (which play any CD/R), the audio/visuals are better than at the Kambar
- The venue is cheaper for us, the drinks are cheaper, there's proper beer and more variety
- The Portland staff seem a lot more interested in what we do than the Kambar's
Bad things:
- only three hours, by the time people leave pubs, we have to shut down as well
- this leads to problem No 2: attendance. 15 people is not enough, we need twice as many to cover all our costs without raising the door price which I really don't want to do
- more work for setup and takedown, especially fordj_slingshot who's got to transport it all.
Solutions:
- More advertising, especially at the venue but this was tricky this time due to the short notice
- Get people to bring along friends etc.
- Any suggestions welcome!
