Promoters everywhere need to work with venue's schedules to run events that aren't heaving by modern club/bar attendance standards. I'm thankful that there actually are venues that are willing to work with promoters looking to run vintage-based nights! No one's making money on this stuff, that's for sure.
People can complain till the cows come home or find exciting ways to live their lives, either way 2012 is quickly approaching! muwhahaha
I would like to add to my own comment regarding living an exciting life; I don't think staying out till dawn equals having an exciting life. But the idea of creating your own enjoyable time (any time of day) rather than expecting it handed to you on a silver platter - that's the crux of the matter. If a vintage club closes down at midnight, who's to say you now have to go home if that's not what you want to do?
Often after the Cicada Club closed there was that great burlesque venue (the name escapes me) not too far away that was a good second option, or the Edison which was also just a few blocks away. Depending on the night or the amount of people you could bring with you from the Cicada, it could very well lead to an interesting, cultured and special night after the official event was over.
Finding exciting stuff to do non-bar related is even better. I took a bunch of friends on a trip up through New England to find strange halloween stuff do to like visiting HP Lovecraft's grave and staying the night at the Lizzie Borden which is now a bed and breakfast. I am hoping at some point to head back to LA and do a trip up the west coast to include Hearst Castle, a hike up to Lon Chaney Sr.'s cabin, the Essanay Film Museum and a lot more. See, no bars in sight!
What's my point? I'm exciting! Somebody date me lol
