Well we are entering the month of December and I haven't had a good rant in a while, from the looks of things we have hung in there as long as we could and we have met some awesome kids and great parents but the attendance has not been enough for us to maintain staying afloat, I spoke and met with some folks on hosting fundraisers and offered a better deal than any of the restaurants have offered and still haven't gotten any takers, restaurants are offering a 10% take on their sales and I'm offering 50% and still nothing, some of the teens that have come to our place have told us that some kids that haven't been to Lyric's are saying our place is "lame" well we had a few kids that came and said that they didn't realize how much fun Lyric's was and they even believed that it was "lame" till their parents made them come check it out now they have become regulars, we are trying to do something for teens in our parish that they have never experienced not to mention keeping them off the streets, a dance club with games and concessions and it only cost $5 at the door, that's a $1.25 per hour for fun at our place, not a bad deal at all, in closing I will give this place till the end of December to decide if we will continue and hope that we could keep operating, I understand the economy is not the best right now but this place has changed some kids lives as far as getting out of there bedrooms and exploring what else is out there besides video games and cell phones, bring your teens and come meet us before you pass judgement on Lyric's, thank you for your support and thanks for sharing and helping spread the word, Dj Daz
