Seriously, if you are hoping to cater to the college crowd, best just serve beer and have the hip hop and alt-monkey, shoegazing crap that they love. I love going to trader sams in disneyland, where they are playing Arthur Lyman, martin Denny and Tikiyaki non-stop....but the realist in me says that eventually, even they will revert to the crap music the lumpen masses enjoy. The base, trivial crap that the 99 percenters like. ughhhh! I have been to trader sams many times now, during the weekend, during the afternoons, mainly...and it is rarely filled or crowded. Only a matter of time.
