THE DECIBEL FESTIVAL STARTS IN 3, 2, 1,
We’ve got four major showcases at the club scheduled for Thursday night/Friday morning through early Sunday morning { this, this, this, and this} with two of the showcases being after hours that start at 2AM and run until 7-ish.
We’re the only venue that has all its showcases specially sponsored by Red Bull and each of the showcaes at Q has had special art designed for the invites and posters.
Erykah Badu is performing a DJ set at the club early on Saturday morning — the day before my birthday! — and early on Friday morning — scheduled for about 4AM — there will be a surprise guest DJ set performed at the club that will be absolutely HUGE!
But the festival organizers are holding the name of the performer{s} until the day of the event.
I’m guessing the club is going to be total fucking pandemonium for the next four days.
We’ve been having 1,500 to 1,600 peeps through our doors on Fridays past, with 1,600 to 1,800 on Saturdays and then another 800 to 850 for our growing Tea Dance on Sunday. And this without doing a lick of promotion or any real advertising, and having been open for just three weeks.
I’m guessing we’ll probably easily demolish those numbers this weekend.
And of course I’m sick as dog with a head cold/upper respiratory thing that I’m gonna have to work through the weekend suffering under.

Go easy on your health, Scott — you would be very hard for us to replace.

Dear Mr Smith,
DO please take care of yourself. Remember, prevention is the best medicine. Once well get that Echinacea into you on a regular basis. Keep up your usual health regimen. Get some sleep and drink plenty of water.
And lose the cigs – if you are still using them
Hugs mate.

It sounds like it’ll be a blast and if it was my club I’d want to be there – but working the whole weekend? Just after you opened you posted a note telling your staff how great they were and I’m sure by now they’re even better. But if there’s no-one there who can take some of the strain off you to let you take a break whether its for a holiday, a new relationship or to get over that cold thing, perhaps you need to find and take on someone who can! Just a thought.
