486 Underground

[Scheetz]

Well, its been hmmm a few months I guess since I said anything about my company. I can proudly annouce our site is done, our business name is filed and we are working towards our lease.

Let me know what you guys think. The only thing missing from the site is the music. I removed it while we wait for our legal paperwork to come back so we can use the songs without being sued.

Everything works as it should. The Gallery section has nothing because well we have nothing to put there yet.

We should be squared away before the end of June if not before mid way.

Just have to say that the logo on the intro screen is sexy as hell.. Site looks very well done. Nice and clean.

I've only browsed it for a few minutes, so I don't have anymore feedback than that, but I'll be taking a closer look in the future and I'll point anything I notice out in the future.

Also as a side note, how will your music be integrated in the site? I only ask because many times, if you're not careful on how its done, it can make the difference in a really clean cool site, and make it a really annoying site.

Basically what I mean is, when the song starts to play, will the song keep getting reset every time someone clicks on a new link? Or will it continue on its original loop? I've actually clicked out of sites because the sound of the music just got so irritating to me. This may seem petty, but you never know.

Ever been to peoples Myspaces before and the same annoying song keeps popping up every time the screen is reloaded? GAH!

But so far, I think it looks snazzy as hell. It's always exciting when these sort of ventures come closer to finishing. I wish you dudes the world of luck, and I'm sure you'll do great.

Nice work on the website. I wish I was close enough to visit it. The question I have is can you smoke your hookah, and see a band at the same time? Hope it goes well.

Edit: I would add a mute button when you add the music. Edited May 30, 2007 by TheAlmightyClaw

Oh I know what you mean. No repeat here. Have about 15 songs that are on random and do not start over when you click a new link. The media player for it is located underneath the red and blue image on the bottom left. Its just a small bar so its nothing that stands out but is easily seen if you want the music to stop.

Yes, our setup will leave a few tables open for smoking a hookah while the bands play. The only time this would not happen is if the band specifically requested no smoking while they are there.

And yep, the mute button is covered. We know some people dont want to listen to music. The player also has a skip button to move on to the next song if you do not like the one playing.

Nice site

[L'Oignon]

Cool looking site. I was actually about to thank you for not having music on your site (there's nothing more annoying to me than grooving to some mp3s, and then having some website music start blaring). But I'm sure you'll figure something out.

[Calcartman]

I gotta say, this is one of the sweetest looking websites ive ever seen.
if i ever come out there, im stopping by and i expect a table!

[aldonb1]

very nice site... super professional.

which is ur primary focus tho: the bands? hookah bar? regular bar? etc
just curious.

also are y`all open when u don't have a group playing?

I def. gona have to come down and visit ya` tho scheetz, im just up in columbia (a little bit south of baltimore).

I wish u the best of luck with this.

[Scheetz]

Thanks for the compliments guys. We worked pretty hard on that site to put it where it is now.

We are 50/50 on hookah and music.

So to answer your question, yes we will be open 6 days a week. We will be closed on Mondays. When bands play we will remove probably 3/4s of the tables and leave a small section open to people who want to smoke while the bands are playing. The rest of the days we will be a full fledged hookah lounge. We are looking at integrating a full time bar later on carrying liquor. For now it will strictly be beer.

Site looks great man! Best of luck to you. You look like you have it well in hand, but please feel free to PM me if you ever want any help with anything. Lease ageements and negotiations can be pretty funky, at least mine was when we were negotiating for our lounge. I learned a lot in terms of what can be changed and what typically remains in stone, and it isn't always based on what you think might be common sense. So if you want an extra set of eyes I would be happy to lend some help with that, or anything else!

Oh, and as a side note, I'm not nearly as snotty in real life as I am in the serious discussion forum (ha!).

Haha, Ill keep you in mind man. At least there are a few members who can keep the serious discussion in the specific thread it is supposed to be in.

Finally got a chance to look around. Very nice. Looks like you guys are rolling hot! Now prepare for the real fun to start...

But there will be that first moment, when the place has people in it, and you hear the fine sound of bubbleing and people talking and enjoying themselves when you'll stop, look around, and think "Holy Shit, look what *I* did!"

Worth all the BS it took to get there.

Website looks great, can't wait to see some of the gallery pics!

Cheers!
