Oh, ok, no camera or action, but I couldn't resist.
I spent a few frustrating days looking for lights for the club, because, according to a certain someone told me that lights looked "cool" while at an event at a friend's venue last week. When I first opened The Brick I tried out lights. Over the course of time, I tried several different kinds. I finally just decided on NO lights because no matter what kind they were, they all seemed to get in the way of clicking on something you needed to click, whether it be a dance ball, pose ball or tip jar.
So, it was with a renewed hope and encouragement that I set out to look for lights that would do the job I wanted(make the club look "cooler(although in my humble opinion the club already looks "cool")". I spent 3 days shopping, I wasted a few linden on lights that were nice looking, but when I put them in the club they just didn't fit what I wanted, or I ended up with the same problem I had originally.
I compromised. I found a few things that light up the venue. It still isn't exactly what I wanted, but until someone creates what I want, or I stumble across it while shopping for other things, it will stay mostly lightfree in my venue.
Who needs lights anyways?

The Brick
The Brick was created out of the desire to have a place to dance, hear great music, meet and chat with others, and have FUN!
The Brick was opened March 6, 2008. I opened with my then sl bf Minnow. Unfortunately Minnow and I didn't last, but the club is still open and doing well!
I originally named it Just Another Brick in The Wall, after the Pink Floyd song. The name changed late 2008 to just THE BRICK. It is an 80s themed dance club, although I don't just have 80s music playing 24/7.
I have 2 regular live performers weekly, Ganjo Mokeev and Noma Falta. They are RL musicians who perform on SL as well.
I originally opened the club on the private region of Salonika2, the club remained there until I moved it to mainland late 2008. Since the move, it has done much better. Traffic is up. On Salonika2 I may have had 1 person visiting a day, at times no one visited the club in a 24 hour period, maybe more. Since the move, the club averages anywhere from 15-30 people a day. More when we have a party or event going on. So it definitely was a good move.
It's been a few months but The Brick underwent a cosmetic makeover. I had eyed a building sometime ago as one to use in the future, and the future is now. I had gotten so tired of the original build and it's imperfections and one day just took that down and replaced it with what it is now. I've had nothing but positive feedback! Woot, I did something right!
