The fuck is wrong wiv party-land?

Or, at least, the Zoo. My favourite hangout for many a year, even the very club I started clubbing at, it is going downhill fast. Could this be a localised cyclic occurence of people are staying in instead of going out? Or have all the kids now suddenly come into possession of automobiles, gas money and time to hit the road to other places? The big clubs in Hasselt don't seem to suffer. Indeed, main culture entertainment is as popular and outgoing as ever. Not so the Zoo. Like a rats leaving the sinking ship less and less people show up because they know there won't be a crowd.. Is this how venues die?
There's more to a venue than just the location, there's the intricate social networks of the party peeps as well. And those may be the seed of a new club... if managed wisely. To keep the club going till only 3 people show up is to lose those networks to random distribution. For the seed of the Zoo to live, the Zoo must die.
