It is finished! A huge thank you to the generous donors who made this bathroom remodel possible! We managed to cover the entire cost of this project with donations, and we can't thank you all enough for that. May your butts ride eternal, shiny and chrome. …

I mean into big papercraft. Like ten feet tall. I built this Recognizer for our TRON party this Sunday: Originally it was going to be just for that event, but then it turned out so awesome that I decided to leave it up for all of GDC Week -- it's on…

Your butts shall ride eternal, shiny and chrome. Hopefully construction begins in a few weeks. We need to work out when we will have enough nights in a row when there's nothing in the main room, which is tricky, because our calendar is pretty full at the…

"I am so excited about the toilets!" is a sentence I heard myself saying out loud, without any sarcasm. If you have pledged a donation for the toilet project but not sent us the money, now would be the time to do that... Naming rights are still available…

Last weekend we had that great thing happen again where suddenly there was sewage all over the floor of the main bar and the bathrooms. We snaked it and sand came out, which is a very bad sign! The last time this happened it meant that our lateral (the…

Last night at the club a Patreon member asked me, "Hey what's up with those new toilets?" Well. We got a good number of donations and promised donations so we are moving ahead! And that means: get at least three quotes from contractors who will: A) show…

Wherein I have a time-machine fantasy

We first started selling online tickets in 2005. We first started accepting credit cards at the bar in 2012. And If I could send a message through time to decades-ago past-me (and if for some reason it couldn't just be a Biff Tannen gambit) then that…

Throughout my life, I have often found myself in a situation where I feel like I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, and so I go and try to find someone who has it all figured out so that I can do it right. And so, so often, what I learn is: nobody has…

Or, "Please admire our giant, shiny cans!" We did a little photo shoot with all of our bar shakers and tip jars, which are covered with years of stickers. Technically these are communal but in practice our bartenders have their favorites. Can you pick out…

Wherein we have a story from the bar mitzvah

We hosted our first bar mitzvah here last weekend (Rent DNA Lounge Today!) It was very cute: a bunch of 13-year-olds dancing and their parents getting shitfaced. The kids were so hopped up on sugar that we actually ran out of grenadine for Shirley Temples.…
