********( I like Mushmouth at B2 Bistro, Best Band and Big Dance Floor and the $50 cover will bring in the big spenders for the ladies and its not too high to spend for a New Years Eve night out.   P.S. When i saw THE NERDS there on New Years Eve ( a similar great band ) the crowd was half singles and half couples so it's good for everyone. One more thing, i have never seen a police car in the parking lot for over 20 years and that's good for NYE.  AND MUSHMOUTH IS PLAYING **********
