Of course most of the discussion surrounds Sundays. A venue often mentioned in that discussion is B.B. Kings at Pointe Orlando. It has potential as it too is in the Attractions corridor. In this June, 2012 file photo, the Blog caught House of Blues DJ's Magic Mike and Jimmy Joslin at B.B. Kings as the club attempted their own Service Industry Night. There was actually a nice little crowd out during my visit but of course they couldn't compete with HOB and this folded after about a month. But with HOB now shuttered on Sunday nights, who knows? One negative though is their parking garage is not free. Low paid CM's don't want to pay to park. |

I don't think anyone's going to step up... who wants low paid CM's and the money they don't spend on free admission and water.
As a frequent visitor to the BB Kings Club at Pointe Orlando, I can say without doubt, that the parking garage is the biggest negative, not so much about the parking fee ($3 for the first 2 hours), but the fact that one or more machines where you insert your parking ticket and pay are often out-of-order. In addition, major bottlenecks of exiting, bumper-to-bumper vehicles happen when patrons all leave around the same time and you can expect it will take about 35 minutes to exit the garage if you are exixting from the 3rd, 4th, or 5th level.
SIN at HOB was a huge money maker.
Anon... you apparently never went to SIN nights because money and alcohol flowed all night long. A certain set of the College Program crowd is there to party and as long as they have enough money to pay rent, the rest is just extra so spending $50-$100 on alcohol every other week wasn't out of the ordinary.
(P.S. - I did the program in the spring and my roommates, myself and many other guys did the very thing I described. Amazing the lengths guys will go to get a girl...)
