I went to the Johnny Wild (formally Johnny D) show at LSL last Saturday and I noticed the 5pm recorded announcement had changed. Now it's something to the effect, no saving of chairs is allowed before 5pm unless a member of the party stays with the chairs.
With this new stragedy of no private type chairs, they are going to need to buy a lot more chairs. We arrived at 4:30 and all the white plastic chairs were already gone. It was one of the largest crowds I've ever seen and I seen some big Rocky N the Rollers crowds, it looks like Johnny Wild and the Delights is the new king of crowds. I saw dozens of private chairs already in use, if they had been disallowed the standing room only would of gone up a couple of hundred more than the already large amount.
I'm glad they are stopping the saving of chairs, however I never considered that LSL had the big a problem, it was mostly SS. I can remember going to a movie at SS that let out at 4pm and going over to see a 5pm Rocky N the Rollers show and every chair was already saved at SS an hour before the show and nobody was around or with most of these chairs. I would of been happy to sit in a chair at 4pm and waited an hour if there had only been an available chair.
We had also gone to Brownwood the night before (last Friday) and saw Cactus Jack. We arrived at 4:30 and the brown folding chairs had already been set up in advance, which is a good thing because if you leave it up to the residents they are all over the place. However all the chairs had already been taken, however we just sat in the bleachers which there was room for to do. We eventually were able to move into an empty chair when it became available a few minutes later. So Brownwood hasn't quite reached the overflow condition as yet, but Cactus Jack hasn't quite reached the big level yet. I did notice at about 6 to 7pm more than a couple of hundred people were standing, I guess as people had finished dinner. So maybe more chairs are needed at Brownwood as well, especially during a Johnny Wild, Rocky N the Rollers or Uncle Bob show.
