In Class: Public Space Ideas
Although I'm not positive that this isn't my final choice, I'm pretty sure I'm going to write about Billybobs Texas, the world's largest honky tonk :) I go to Billybobs almost every Thursday, and try to make it to a concert on the weekend every once in a while. I absolutely love to country dance, and have gotten pretty good at it over the past year. Yes, I have been to this place a lot, and yes, of course I've picked up on certain details about the space, however I haven't been to Billybobs on nights like Tuesday, or Sunday. Nights that this place is still open, but I'm sure doesn't have near the same environment as I'm used to. I know I can pick up on more detail than I have in the past if I actually just sit and watch, instead of dancing the whole time, so I think that's what I'm going to do. Thursday nights is 'college night', which typically consists of way too many TCU students crowding themselves into the bar just to have an excuse to wear their $300 boots their parents bought them, which in turn, makes all of the regulars extremely annoyed that they have to share their dance space with the so-called beginners. On the weekends, there is a lot of mixed company, a lot more adults go on the weekends(okay, we're considered adults now, but I really mean age range 30+). On Thursdays, there is part live performance, and mostly music played by the DJ. However on the weekends, it's basically all live performance because these are the concert nights. I feel as though I can successfully write a paper about this, because it's a place I'm interested in, and won't mind going back more than once.

Well i'm certainly not a regular their as i've been only once and don't wear boots so maybe I fall somewhere in between. I think what your observing would be important to the business itself as it highlights which crowds that company should be targeting since it differs daily.
