If it was a price increase, or we need to end by 10, that would be one
thing, but, this isn't the first obvious bit of money-gouging that the
owner's done, as Craig has noted.  It's clear that we are not valued as
customers there, and I'm thinking very hard about whether or not I want
to keep patronizing 63rd St. at all.  Not a fan of the pay more for less
at all.

play was going past 10PM.  So, we agree to stop play at 10PM, and thus
play less pool.  And somehow we end up having to pay more than twice
what we were paying for the playing less.
