Halloween oopsies . . . . .

[Conifer Dada]

It used to be in SL that clubs would add a few pumpkins and maybe the odd tombstone and some cobwebs and crooked iron railings as halloween decorations.  But this year I noticed that several clubs I go to had set up separate halloween themed venues, complete with things like mesh zombie children holding bloodstained teddybears and other even more gruesome things. Some of these clubs were busy round the clock up until the new venues appeared and now they're empty except maybe for one or two familiar bots.

So I'm wondering if these clubs overdid halloween this year and misjudjed the mood of their clientele, who voted with their feet!  I certainly found these themes off-putting, I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

As one who has DJ'ed in SL for several years I can say that patrons come and go.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason why some days/times are busier than others.  It doesn't even necessarily have to do with the quality of staff on hand.  Perhaps some, like you, were put off by the displays you saw.  Who knows.

Can't forget about those skeliton bands lol. I host at several clubs and often on stage with those things durring halloween month. They are both fun and anoying at the same time lol.

We had a small get together at home.  Watch a few movies, had a nice supper and gave out candy.  In otherwords, we werer too busy to log in.  I would imagine  other people were like that as well.

The venues were very likely empty on Halloween because it fell on a Saturday so people actually went out into the real world since most didn't have to go to work the next day and the bars that normally close at 2am were open an extra hour with daylight savings time ending....just a thought.
