He <br />stated that they could stay open if people are coming in. He added that what they try to <br />do is show that they are a restaurant where people can actually come late and where it <br />is okay to have people in there eating while the place allows them to dance, just like in <br />"Senior Frogs" where there can still be a table eating a four -foot long burrito and <br />breaking a pinata while other people are dancing.
