I had the first RUSH ROOM, in the Cadillac Bar, in Houston, in the late eighties.. It was packed every day by 11am.. It stayed that way until RUSH signed off..
The problem was that some tables didn’t turn over as most tables stayed less than an hour in the rest of this and every other restaurant..
It didn’t matter, I loved it, and it pissed off all of the right people, and I lost more than a few of my regulars because of my actions in putting the room in.. :)
I remember reading about Rush Rooms.......good for you.
When he had his TV show, some of us old ladies would watch it together the next day, from tape.....remember tape? ;-)
