"StrangelyBrown-
I find your distaste of Soundpony may be of a personal reason. I wouldn't beging to know what your reasoning is but I'd like to input my own.
I find that a bar that vows to never charge a cover and willing to let in bands that are in want and need of a home, be it a small sometimes cramping space like the Soundpony offers, has a place in my heart and in many a local bands. Some local musicians struggle to be heard and don't get paid in many local venues, but this is a place to start root, grow and be thankful exists. Soundpony offers a percent of business and beer. The truth is that it is still a business and they still have product to purchase, employees, taxes, and bills to pay, glasses to replace and repairs to be made by drunken customers. It's a fortunate place to have in Tulsa with friendly owners who work their business and make it a point to celebrate Tulsa for what it offers.
I respect Soundpony for its breach of the normal venue to bring us options where we make the bar what we want. Through their years open I have seen pedal and puke nights, craft nights, trivia nights, bands both bad and good. I have seen ideas tossed around and come to fruition, I have seen people set up their own tv and nintendo as comfortable as in their own living room. It's also one in a few locations that doesn't allow smoking indoors and provides a patio for those who do.
Continental will be missed and it is sad. In addition, I hope that Jeff and Bracken can find a venue as open and prepared to host new music as the Continental and Soundpony. I encourage everyone to experience Contiental in its last days this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Thank you Continental for all that you have provided and to Soundpony for what you are continuting to give us."
