Metro Has a quality established party on Friday w/their resident DJ Richie Rydell.

I know that Joey's has Kirk Lopez, by any measure a quality choice of DJ, but I have not been there on Friday. I can say that in general that music format at Joey's does not challenge or stretch the audience.

Yes I know they have booked Ediie and Denny and others in that vein, but that is not really a stretch. I would very much like to see them do a few of the following things:

A) An increased use of projected visuals. Get some media/film student from a local university to create new visual concepts on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Some of these could be potentially theme based and you could base specific parties around specific themes.

B) Stretch musically in terms of the guest bookings. Try booking some other US based talent. George Acosta, Sandra Collins, Taylor, John Debo, Micro, BT, and others should be brought in.

C) Give some unknown local talent a shot. Book up and coming local DJ's for 1 hour guest spots to close out the night.
