You know what this place could use? A nightclub.
Don't get me wrong, I like Good Spirits a lot, but you can't exactly go there for dinner and dancing. The pizzeria seems like it has room for musicians, but pizza's not exactly ritzy. Sometimes you just want to go somewhere nice and hear a good band, you know? Putting a Tex Beneke record on just isn't the same.
It wouldn't even have to be dance music all the time, either. Just some piano music, like--oh, what's his name--Chopin plays would be nice. We probably don't have enough musicians here to make a full-sized band anyway.
I'm not asking for the Stork Club here--Lord knows I wouldn't get in if I was--but there oughta be something else to do here at night. For the most part, this place is great, but it's kind of a one-horse town when it comes to entertainment.

[You know, Derek, that's not a bad idea. Not ideal, but if it didn't interfere too much with her writing...] I wouldn't mind playing manager, but we don't exactly have an abundance of empty buildings, as far as I can tell. Maybe if someone was willing to donate the space a night or two a week, though--hm.
[voice]
[He tries.]
...Maybe you can grab one of the empty houses. Not like you'd need something that seats thousands.
[voice]
I wonder how hard it'd be to remodel one of the houses... I've never seen the interiors, but if they're anything like the apartments, you'd have to knock out a wall or two if you wanted a dance floor and tables.
[voice]
Dunno, but yeah, you'd either have to remodel or build a new place. Other options I guess would be to take over the rec center or the barracks, but I think people still use them for other things.
[voice]
And I'm not exactly cut out for interior design. Or barn-raising, for that matter.
[voice]
Can probably find help for the second.
Re: [voice]
Probably. Sounds like putting something together at Seventh Heaven might be the quicker route, though.
[voice]
Out of curiosity, what sort of bands were you looking for?
voice]
Ideally, a big band, but a smaller jazz combo would do in a pinch. The kind of jazz you can dance to--that bebop's nice, but I'll be damned if you can do much more than listen. But beggars can't be choosers, especially in a small town.
Re: voice]
Might want to try a variety of stuff; so many different places represented means a more varied audience. Maybe have theme nights.

I'm Kay, by the way. Don't think I caught your name.

Rock is what come country develops into later. It's noisy, fast, and catchy if you decide you like it. Well, most of it.
[ voice]
...You mean hillbilly music?
[Calling it something a little less pejorative should probably happen in about six years. So, uh. Yeah.]
