|night at a different venue *on |the same night*.

|The audience gets fractured between the two venues. Some people try
|to hit both venues in one night, but that gets expensive, so most
|only hit one. People choose allegiance to one venue or the another
|and try to get their friends to choose the same allegiance. Things
|get confusing when people aren't sure which friends are going to be
|where. Attendance at both venues drops below a critical mass, so
|the owners/managers at both venues drop both goth industrial nights.
|And then you're left with no goth industrial dance nights.

Wow, that's a bit deep and dark!
Could it not be seen as a chance to move from 1980's text-only to WWW
colour, with the option of linking to pictures in a gallery and on-line
databases?

Brave New World!
