I ended up spinning from 930 to 1030 last night. Nobody came. I basically played my set for the bouncer and bar tender.
Still played a bad ass set using traktor and ableton.

I've done that before. It sucks, unless you just view it as an opportunity to play your favourite tracks FUCKING LOUD.
Yeah, it happens. Don't take it the wrong way. Weekdays can suck. I've done weekdays at the venue I do the Saturday main set now for about a year and sometimes only a few drunks would turn up (other days people came out of nowhere and the place was packed).
Is that a regular gig or just once? Here it's like this: You start on a shitty week-day (Mo through Wed), then move to a better day (Thursday which is usually crowded) to the Saturday.
Hang in tight!

Shitty to hear Chris, but just as Prone said... "Hang in there".

Oh spinning for empty rooms. I still do it a lot. It happens man, it does.
With the right word of mouth and the right music, though, they can really blow the fuck up. Where are you based?
You've gotta get a few mates to come along - no one goes into an empty bar. Get 4 or 5 mates to come along. That should tempt some others in...
I had that happen on a Friday.... for a 12 - 1 slot... that was not fun.
