I had another of my interesting little dream-snippets this morning as I was
tossing and turning (haven't been sleeping well at all).
In it a bunch of friends and I were going out to our new favorite night-spot
"The Spacebar".
If was a sci-fi and techno-geekery themed BAR.
Their motto was "Where Geeks Interface".
The inside of the bar area was pretty standard flat-black walls and ceilings, but
with little LED stars all over the ceiling and a big honkin' model of the Millenium
Falcon suspended overhead.
There was a life-size Stormtrooper suit lurking in the corner and a remote-control
R2-D2 could deliver your drinks to your table (think sandbarge).
I don't remember the bartender being in costume, but it's certainly an option.
I believe there was small laser-tag area in the back, and small private rooms that
could be reserved from RPGing....
We were going for "cheese night"- cheesy horror and sci-fi flicks on the big projection
monitor, and free chips and cheese dip with the purchase of two beverages....
The interesting thing about the name is it has a double-meaning: space/sci-fi and also
keyboards/computers.
I didn't get any real sense of what the 'draw' was for the techies, but I'm not much of
a techie myself. Anyone have any thoughts?
This is 'just crazy enough to work' if you situated it in the right location....
Hmmmmmm- maybe my post-PBS 'second career'?
