Is 7:30pm too late to start a weeknight show?

[acdugger]

I was wondering if you all thought 7:30 was to late to start weeknight shows. I know I always thought I had to do shows at 7 but 7:30 would make my show nights much easier. What is all of your opinions?

I think as long as you keep control of the length that 7:30 is fine.

I used to think I wouldn't start later than 7pm but I did, kinda by accident the other week. I thought we had agreed to 6:30pm, my host heard 7:30pm... which was great actually as I would have been late (I got lost, eep!) getting there... as it was I had plenty of time to set up and get some stuff done well before (and relax! LOL)... I thought 7:30 would be late... one thing I wouldn't do again is make as much food as I did... she wanted 2 things, 1 would have been plenty. Folks were done and out the door (with my 2nd largest show) within an hour and a half.. I was on the road home about 9:30... which was nice as I lived an hour away. So long as your ducks are in a row before you start and you move without stalling (or being taken over by chatters), you'll do fine.
