The first night in, I went to their door at around 11:05 (right after  
the last show). They had already closed the doors (at 11:00). The  
woman (the one with the moustache, lolol) came to the door and  
enquired as to what was going on next door? Apparently several people  
had come to the door, checked it, and then walked away.  I told her  
that we were there till Sat night and played till 11:00 each night  
but things usually went over time and sometimes we weren't done till  
after that. Then people (like myself) would be looking for a snack,  
coffee, pie, etc.

She changed the quit time and they stayed open for the duration well  
past midnight for the next 4 nights. At times we had tables of as  
many as 10. Stryker should remember that because he was at the one  
end with Ron Kalina and Bob McFarlane. I was at the other end with  
Jerry. We were all listening to Kalina's stories. Thems was the good  
old days. Maybe THATS what some people mean when they talk about  
those days.
