was fad flash in the pan Discos Would neverlast That was three years ago and the prophets of doom have grown conspicuously silent Discos are if anything healthier and more numerous now than ever before Licensed discos have become faniliar fixture on the local nightlife scene Unlicensed discos are the latest additions First there was Odyssey 11 As of two weeks ago there is also Friends Friends is an afterhours club situated in the same building that houses the Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlors at 94 Dunlop St It doesnt open until 10 pm Thursday through Saturday and the dancing goes on until am The disco is also open Sunday from pm to am The idea behind this club is to give the people of Barrie something to do after in the morning Even cup of coffee is hard to get in this town after oclock says owner Greg Marshall Marshall has invested $70000 in the decor of Friends in cluding $15000 for sound and lighting system Potted plants mirrors circular and lighted dance floor com fortable chairs wall hangings pool table and backgam mon boards are also part of the sctt ing TWO CHOICES There are two welldefined areas in the club the quiet relaxed front chamber conducive to conversation and tgames and the lively backroom where the dance floor is ocal Marshall said Friends is geared to the 18 and up crowd Odyssey has the 13 to 17yearold crowd We dont want the Odyssey crowd we want to appeal to older people Also want to maintain the image of the club since we may subsequently want to licence it he explaind Marshall said that Friends is in its present format an ex periment Hes

you should go to bed at am Friends has however been designed in such manner as to satisfy LCBO requirements in case the public doesnt take to the unlicensed disco the way Marshall hopes it will He hasnt given himself any specific time frame to guage the in itial response to the club BIG OPENING NIGHT opening night we had between 230 and too people anti thats very exciting really he adds Friends doesnt really start to fill until after midnight People stay out and do their drinking then come in and do their boogieing rather than go home right away Mar shall said For that reason he sees Friends as complementing rather than competing with local bars The music pumped through the clubs sound system comes from 10inch rceltoreel tapes recorded in Toronto sound studio The music is updated every 30 days This is all Chicago and New York disco stuff you dont hear on radio station Marshall noted leisure MO subscriptions sold to Gryphon Theatre plays Over 1100 subscriptions have been sold already
