OK, a lot has happened in the recent weeks. Lost a 2 night show due to bar closing down. Tuesday is dying horribly , set up a permanent set up in my Saturday show (love it BTW ), and now,,, new opportunities!! A long time ago, in a bar (not so far away ) I used to do this show. Long story short, I told the bar owner to stuff it, and left (happy dance! ) . Now the bar is under new ownership (nice young couple ) They hired my mentor to do the show, who slowly did her old routine and lost control. So, now they hired me!! Had my first show there last night, all went extremely well, owner happy as a clam and things look bright for a change. Also, the bar that closed, opens tonight under new management as well. And it looks like they want me to do Thursday karaoke (not sure yet tho ) All is well at the moment, and looking forward to the new venues and the challenge of building some crowds! Cheers to everyone, and a very Merry Christmas season to everyone. |

Glad to hear it, man! Seems not long ago you had a less than optimistic view of the karaoke scene out there in UT, and good to see things turning around. Tuesdays will probably pick up for you after the first of the year. Lots of places slow down weekdays running up to Christmas.. especially so in a down economy. |

Thanks Cheese,,, yeah,, the outlook for karaoke and the bar scene is still very much in question in Utah, but it all depends on the owners and their business plans (if they have any that is). I am taking it day by day, and just keeping it as positive as I can. My Tuesday show is different. Something is going on, and I can't quite put my finger on it. I have had this show for almost 6 years and I absolutely love the place, staff and owner. I think it has something to do with the clientele themselves... maybe some personal issues between customers, making others uncomfortable around each other. It is a lesbian bar, but everyone is welcome. |

Congratulations, Mr. Scott. You have a similar situation as we do with small towns separated by long stretches of nothing. It can be a challenge but there does seem to be a bit of hope when places get new owners and you get a chance to recycle them. |

The challenges have been great for sure!! Still have a LONG way to go before I can call myself a "success story" tho |
