Now you can see why I don"t own a place yet, but am working my way there. Ha Ha!
I hope that this was informative to some of you and next I will show you some equipment that I would like in my new place.
Total video system with monitors
Some long runs of rope light/ pulsate to music
Place around different parts of dance floor and halls
Couple remote fog machines
Place a couple around
Get at least 4 of these
so the dance floor has spots
You need to have at least 3 or 4 to keep the sound pumpin",with Crown amps.
Great with the fog machines we have
Need some of these for sound everywhere,QSC amps.
easy to use Numark CD players
maybe one of these
Then i shouldn"t forget the light controller board and top end EV or Cerwin Vaga speakers and not to forget our special designed subs.
And this is just for starters because we have to add video projectors and screens to show 3 at one time.
Thank you for reading and have fun.
I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I am doing a business plan for a nightclub in Dayton, OH right now. I was wondering if you could send me a list of the license, fees, and permits that you know of, and the probable costs? If you know the names of them that would help out a lot, and costs are also important. If you could be as detailed as possible it would really help. The above information really helped me out as well. You can email me back at rgboots@bsu.edu. Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Ryan Boots
