The Belly Up is hardly going belly up.

In fact, the nightclub's first holiday season brought in record-breaking ticket sales and encouraged owner Michael Goldberg to pursue more big-name acts.
And Jimmy Buffett started the holiday season off with a sold-out show Dec. 21. Though the Belly Up couldn't advertise Buffett's gig, Margaritaville fans know he plays smaller venues under the name Freddy and the Fishsticks, so they didn't mind shelling out $600 for reserved seating and $250 for general admission. The show sold out within days.

The club did have a couple of relatively slow nights - meaning it only reached about half its 450-person capacity - Dec. 22-24. As part of the terms to book Buffett, the club hosted three DJs to raise money for Buffett's favorite charities. Z-Trip, an Aerosmith opener, drew the most people and rewarded them by playing long after hours

Goldberg also gambled by opening Christmas Eve with a DJ and Christmas with Yami Bolo, and he said he'd do it again. In fact, Goldberg learned he could have booked one or two more pricey acts, which he intends to do next holiday season. He also invited Seal and Buffett to return - each of whom individually said he'd come back, though nothing's official yet.

That's what killed it for me this time, airfare was over $700 from NYC. I paid less than that to go NY/SF/LV/NY back in October and I bought that plane ticket the day before I left.

I also came really close. Almost bought the tickets, then the real world stuff interfeered, and I backed off. Pity is that I could have flown free. (Delta) and couldn't get there.
next time. ......... or better yet, in the old days freddy played Cincinnati too. Maybe the nxt one will be here................... (I can dream Can't I)
