On sunday night Corbeau took us downtown for a meetup for the video game he's playing. It was held at a rooftop lounge downtown, really pretty place with subdued blue lighting and with the recent pleasant weather it was totally comfortable!
There was a bouncer at the door but no cover charge, and a guy playing oontz oontz, allegedly themed after the game in question. Nothing objectionable.
The event was something of a fizzle--the place was pretty deserted, but this can probably be chalked up in part to ACL fest being in full swing just a mile away. BUT it was educational to know that there are nice spaces available that don't have to charge $$$ for access.
Networking with people who run these places is probably really really useful when you don't have money to throw around. |)
Anyways, still an interesting idea, and keeping my ears open to possibilities. Austin still needs a full blown furry dance night!
In the short term, though, looking forwards to making T&A's garage the hoppin'est fuzzy dance floor in suburban north Austin on Halloween, and tail wriggling under UV lights! *wrigglewriggle*

Off times makes lots of sense...easier sell, less SUCCEED OR DIE, and easier to make a safe space by just becoming the majority. :)
