Blitz!
E-01
--------
Blitz! is a basic description of what your senses undergo when you
enter this club parked on the fringes of the Haight-Ashbury district in
San Francisco. The floor is composed of translucent tiles that flash to
the beat of the music in every color imaginable and then some. Two of the
walls are made up entirely of tridscreens, and no two are tuned to the
same broadcast. The displays are linked to a timer that randomly switches
all broadcasts to a different monitor every five seconds. See something
you want to watch for a bit? Good luck.
The thundering music is provided by the speakers that comprise the
far wall, with the center section being a single woofer nearly twenty feet
high and just as wide (mind your heart). The lights hanging from above
are all different colors and strobe to randomly selected patterns that
change every five seconds or so.
When you approach Athea, the short, blond female bartender with
the tragically thinning hair, be sure to ask for the ask for the special
of the house: their famous Blue Martini. Oh, and watch out for Menna and
Rosie, perhaps the fattest set of twins you've ever seen: they may ask
_you_ to dance...
