OK here;s one for you ..Last Night EXTREMELY SLOW ..I mean DEAD
maybe due to the World Series as this bars cable company DID NOT CARRY THE WORLD SERIES ..ANYWAY

I was planning on going early but a table of singers came in and the owner said to stay to about 12:30am..no problem ABout 12:15 another few singers came in and the owner said to stay to regular time 1:00am ... Since there were only about 5 singers there I made about 6 annoucements for last call for Karaoke and that the show was over at 1:00 AM .... 2 people who usally sing go out to smoke about 12:50 and come back in at 1:00 as I'm tearing down and ask and beg to sing a song........... I look at him with disgust and say .... I've been announcing for the last 20 minutes to get your songs in and you decided to SMOKE than sing... SORRY DUDE NEXT WEEK arggghhh

I doubt it. We're packed to capacity every weekend. We also limit everyone to 2 songs in queue, and despite this we still get booked up enough where we can't take anymore requests around 10:30.

The Mexican restaurant only has a beer/wine license, so we'd still be the only spot with mixed drinks, shots, etc.

At the end of the day, I've been here 9 years. The owners take my word as gold now, so I don't think they'll have any issues with it.

That's great. If i ever get out to the West Coast again I will make a point to come see your show Toqer. You are definitely doing something truly unique.

I would get a giant play watch and put it on at 1:20 and show them I can tell time.

I had the same problem again this week, but alas thanks to your replies I finished exactly when I should. I made plenty of announcements "if you wish to sing please let me know shortly as time is ticking" and then assuming they would demand to sing, I allowed 10 minutes extra when I said I had no time for any more singers. One person instantly changed their song for PBTDBL and once again the group decided now was the time to sing. I skipped out the door on time and everybody is friends.

Had they not chosen to sing, I could have easily filled the 10 minutes just by following rotation and allowing two others an extra song. So for me it seems the answer to the question is to use my psychic powers.
