Showdown

12/12/2019

Old dear friends, family and patrons alike. Our showdown is not the showdown that holds estate on Grant st though they are family and have had permission to carry on the name. It’s all love. Honored to see it in lights.

Promoters, DJS and party people:

Moving forward, Showdown will need a form of ID and a credit card given to bartender before event that will secure the safety of our equipment and space. The amount of abuse that it has taken is a given but the state it is left in after events, has been SHOCKING.
To not only help the bartenders get music going the following day and set the next group up for smooth transitions- it's a must that everyone is held accountable. We know this little bar has many miles on it but it's a group effort to keep things in order as best we can.
To all of you CD DJ's- I'm sorry, but I will not be fixing the cdjs as we can hardly keep up with the turntables (which we would hope you're using anyway, no offense). We have someone to help with sound now for every event so that there will be less confusion but at the end of the night- PLEASE PLEASE help us keep it as organized as possible.

There is about to be a sweet gemini 2 channel from 1998 back up in there.

Yo emcees, goes for you too. Doesn't do any good to steal our cordless mics though I know it's all the rage SMGDH

One love
