38. I've seen "Roadhouse" like, 17 times.
I'd just "be nice" and I suspect my Lounge kin would be good patrons anyway.

I may not believe in violence, but if you swing first, it's not violence...so Freeper lurkers, beware.

Free beer for the bouncer, right?

But lots and lots of slow, intimate dancing.

10. What would the dress code be?
Would we have a dance floor? Would they play slow songs, while lonely people burn shadows into the walls? Could we have cheap martinis? (I'm on a budget.)

12. I think we'd have to turn to the mods to determine the dress code.
But I think shirts should be considered optional. }(

As for the rest of it, I don't know. :shrug:

28. It's located at the End of the Universe.
You just push through a panel at the back of your closet and you're squirted there through a wormhole.

It's a 'come-as-you-are' kind of place. And I imagine it to look something like this:

57. Something like that.
My apologies to Tina Fey.

* Freshmen
* ROTC Guys
* Preps
* J.V. Jocks
* Asian Nerds
* Cool Asians
* Varsity Jocks
* Unfriendly Black Hotties
* Girls Who Eat Their Feelings
* Girls Who Don't Eat Anything
* Desperate Wannabes
* Burnouts
* Sexually Active Band Geeks
* The Greatest People You'll Ever Meet
* ...and the worst. "Beware of the Plastics"

Although in reality perhaps, it would likely be something else all together. Or not. Or some combination somewhere.

The Mods are hall monitors. For the most part, people go from class to class (thread to thread). But, there is also an undercurrent of gossip and snarkiness.
