Nice set Kent, even nicer that you've found a club that doesn't mind your photography. Have any patrons ever objected? Do you ask permission? I had to ask.
Way back, early Fuji X-Pro1 days, the owner of the restaurant where my son works said I could take all the pictures I wanted (nothing of note for sure - a 'learning experience', nothing is ever as easy as it sounds) but after several times I quit - I began to feel I was invading others' privacy.
Thus my short-lived street career 
Best,

Hey Bob, thanks.
Nobody's ever said anything in the club. I don't ask ... since it then influences their behavior. It's kind of a Catch-22, so understanding that there isn't a perfect relationship between advance permission vs. candid ... so, it is what it is.
I hear ya on the privacy thing ... of course, if anyone takes an objection, I'll respect their regard. Pretty much, if someone is paying much attention to me, that means I've influenced their behavior already, so I really don't shoot them, anyway. Most folks just think I'm shooting the band or the surroundings, since I am. They just happen to be in the line of sight, too sometimes. 
When I leave for the evening, there are a couple regulars that will ask "Did you get some good ones?" or "What are you shooting with?", so there's some good regard from the patrons / staff. I'm looking forward to returning with some prints in hand to share.
Hopefully, I'll get my printer set up and going soon.
