Big HOO HAA - getting too big?

We had another terrific special on Friday night, our second birthday anniversary. Twice as many teams, two musicians, two 'swing' players....a lot of toy donations given to the Smith Family Xmas Charity Appeal, and a brilliant night had by all.


Well, almost all. Unfortunately, once again, we were crowded to over-capacity, and had to turn people away at the door. Even the lucky last few to get in were unable to find chairs, and we were selling space on the floor. (A prominent perth director who shall remain nameless was cunning enough to steal the chairs from the Hoo-Haa players, making them sit on the floor...). There was also an unfortunate misunderstanding with some people who believed they'd booked and reserved a table...we apologise that it got mucked up, and we're looking at implementing a better method so it won't happen again.
It's probably time that we started looking for a bigger venue to host our 'specials'. Nobody likes turning people away, especially when we were virtually full more than half an hour before we were due to start.

Speaking of specials....it was announced that the next Big Hoo Haa special will be a 24-HOUR Hoo-Haa in September, based upon the History of the World..!! Watch out for more information as we get closer to the date!

And of course, no Hoo-Haa this Friday (First Friday of the Month Standup Comedy night instead), but we resume our normal crazy shows on the 9th July.


Cheers,
Craig

Yes i was one of those people sitting behind you. Thank you for finally saying something it was a shame you could not of said something on the night considering my view was restricted to seeing to the top of this prominent directors head most the night. I think if it's going to be that big on a night they need a bigger venue. I'm glad they are starting on the first friday of every month as well.
Anyway thanks guys
