I did this very thing about 15 years ago - played a month of Wednesday nights in a "Smokin" bar off Northwest Highway in Dallas, for same reason - Wednesday night was our regular practice night, so it made since for us to play those nights for $150.00 rather than pay $75.00 for a practice studio. In that month, our drummer's car was broken into in the parking lot (taking his radar detector, radio, and all his CD's) and a friend of the band had his Harley stolen (even though it was parking right by the front door).

Halloween and New Years Eve are both off nights this year. Why wouldn't you play gigs on those nights. Played lots of off nights over the years for fun and profit. I just don't play into the late hours like a weekend gig any more.
