Here is the note card that Riddle and I are sending on 14 January to people on our friends list.
This note is to the people on Riddle's and Nottoo's Friends List. We are opening a private blues club and you are invited to join. If you have any interest, please read below. If not, you can stop here.

Riddle and I are planning to re-open the Not Too Hot Blues Club (NTH) under the name NotTooHot on 24 January. Our experience with the old NTH and with DANCE QUEENS has left us with the feeling of wanting to do something but a little wary of the drama that seems to accompany it.
We are using a different structure for NotTooHot that may give us and the members the fun we used to have at the old NTH without the drama. It also would be different from the current, successful blues clubs that seem to groan under the weight of too many people and sometimes feel a little sterile.
Here is what we are thinking:
1. NotTooHot membership will be by invitation only. In a sense it will be a private club. Any member can nominate someone for membership, but Riddle and Nottoo have the final say on whether or not the person can join. If you received this note from Riddle or me, you are invited to join.
2. Membership in NotTooHot will be limited to 500 people only. If we reach that level and more people want to join, the names will be added to a waiting list and offered only when space is available.
3. Keeping membership in NotTooHot requires visiting the club at least once every month. A device will keep track each month of who visits. If a person does not visit during the month, Nottoo will send a note to the person, reminding him/her to visit. If a second month occurs and the person does not visit, he/she will be removed from the membership.
4. Access to the NotTooHot Club will not require wearing the group tag. Non-members will not be allowed to visit except on occasional, announced 'open' times.
5. The NOTTOOHOT Club will offer a blues format with some rock and a little Latin music. I will also do what I did at the old NTH by inventing games, shows and other events for the members. DJs will come primarily from the membership and will be for tips only. Live music and Dance Groups also will come from the membership and I will cover any costs. Occasionally we may have a DJ or live act by a non-member and I will give the person temporary access. There will be no House tip jar and any House donations will be returned.
What we want to create is the feeling of family that was in the old NTH with fun, laughter, blues, dancing, friends, trust and no drama.
To get started we are planning to focus on filling the schedule on weekends. All members will be authorized to change the stream, so unscheduled DJing can be done by any member.
We are looking for DJs, live music and Dance Groups starting at the club after the opening 24 - 26 January. The time slots we want to fill are:
Friday 12 noon
Friday 2pm
Saturday 10am
Saturday 12 noon
Saturday 2pm
Sunday 12 noon
Sunday 2pm
Sunday 4pm
Riddle plans to do all his DJing at NOTTOOHOT and Nottoo will also DJ a bit and offer WORKOUT on a scheduled basis.
Once we fill out the schedule above, we will aim to add DJs at USA evening times on the weekend (5pm to 9pm). After that we will try to expand the DJ schedule to be 7 days a week.
The rules for the club will be ... NO RULES, ONLY RESPECT, so, expect bar dancing, occasional swearing, some naked dancing, the best dance balls in SL, and all the things that made you laugh in the old days.
Riddle and I have started to work on the club and you can visit it at any time until the club opens. After that you have to be a member. Of course it features the same overwhelming red and black interior, bar for dancing, undersized stage for performances, private dance pole, Slyther and the picture above the bar. Check it out at NotTooHot Gate. Everything inside the walls is part of the club.
The opening celebration will be Friday, 24 January through Sunday, 26 January and will be open to everyone.
If you are interested in joining the club, please IM or send a notecard to Nottoo. More info is at http://nottoohot.blogspot.com, which is the Club's website.
