and I'm the first in....do i get a free drink?
 
Yes, you do!! :D

I'm still putting up the new decorations though....I've replaced the tables with those big giant Morrocan style pillows and there's lots of red sashes everywhere....and if you lie down on the pillows and look up you can see that the ceiling has been painted to look just like the moon!

Think the Mysterious Ways video come to life!


Now what would you like to drink?! :D
 
you haven't trashed the Achtung Baby coffee table though made by Digsy? I was looking forward to smuggling that out of the door before bonosloveslave locked up!

the moon's superb, nice touch! bring on the belly dancers!

I'll have a rum and coke please, dark rum and no ice....if it's free make it a triple! ta, you're a gem. :wink:
 
<<.....wanders into bar, looks at ceiling, trips over cushions and lies in tangled heap on floor...>>

Hey, this is nice. Very Mediterranean.

Think I will have a nice, chrisp white wine to celebrate the new bar...


Good work Stars!
 
you not want to make it Champagne?

Moet and Chandon - it's on starsgoblue
 
Ewen, that table isn't going anywhere don't worry. Some belly dancers might make their way onto it but I assure you there will be no harm done!


<<makes a glass of Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay blend for Tania, and hopes that was suitable and pours a rum with a dash of coke for color for Ewen>>

<<slaps her head>> I forgot the lovely picture to put up behind the bar....I'm kinda sick of looking at the cracks of the Pop boys from their visit here with Homer...and since I brought that pic in anyways I hope you guys won't mind me replacing it with this:

17u6h2




Don't worry boys, a belly dancer pic is going up next....:wink:
 
bring on the dancing girls

harem? wahey! i'm the first male in too....superb! a dream come true.
 
Hold on, hold on Ewen you might find it's a male harem that we're building here:wink: ....

Thanks for the drink, Stars, hit the spot nicely, but yes the idea of champagne sounds like a good idea. Magnums all round, lets celebrate in style.

By the way, I think the new picture does wonders for the decor:laugh:

Need to drag out some suitable morrocan inspired attire, lots of beads and white shirts and stuff. Sorry, no kilts ewen, but hey I believe you look pretty hot in a dress!
 
a harem only has one male!! tim will have to go find his own :wink:, what chance have i got with him here? i'd have to divert the attention he gets by using a cheap trick of donning my kilt.
 
<<pops open a bottle of champagne, nearly missing the new pictures with the flying cork and quickly pours three glasses>>

Cheers!

Now Ewen, you and Tim can watch the harem, er the bar, in shifts....:wink: We all like having the both of you around!

<<thinks about what to play on the jukebox ....>>
Any requests? We just heard the nessacary Mysterious Ways :wink:

*sticks on Mysterious Ways (solar plexus extended club mix)*


anyone care to dance?
 
Fast cars will definitely have to be next....

<<.....spins around the room a few times .....>>

This place is too cool.
 
It's about to get cooler! I've got a surprise. Since The Octogan has been doing so well I just bought the building next door and knocked down the wall to make an additional room....it will be called Babylon and it will be a....HOOKAH BAR!!

I'm unvieling the room in a moment...be here for it! :D

The Octogan just keeps getting bigger and better!! :D

<<hits the jukebox with her hip and instantly Fast Cars begins to pulse throughout the entire bar>>
Ahhh Oooooohhhhh

My cell is ringing
No ID
I need to know who’s calling

My garden’s overgrown
I go out on my belly crawling
I got CCTV, pornography, CNBC
I got the nightly news
To get to know the enemy

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your face in a locket
Picture in my pocket
I take a pill to stop it

I know these fast cars
Will do me no good

I’m going nowhere
Where I am it is a lot of fun
They’re in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb
I watch them channel hop
Check the stocks
I’m in detox
I want the lot of what you’ve got
If what you’ve got can make this stop

All I want is a picture of you
All I want is to be right next to you
All I want is your picture in a locket
Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it

I know these fast cars
Will do me no good

Don’t you worry about your mind
Don’t you worry about your mind
Don’t you worry about your mind
Don’t you worry about your mind

You should worry about the day
That the pain it goes away
You know I miss mine sometimes

There is no fiction
That will truly fit the situation
I’m documenting every detail
Every conversation
I’m not used to talking to somebody in their body
Look, there’s somebody in a body, somebody in a body
Aaaahhhh ahhhhhhh

:dance: :dance:

hi i'm back, yeah i did get pulled over and had to explain the boxes of tobacco to the cop!

anyway, it's all ok

where do you want this stuff?

think i'm gonna give the party a miss, i'm wrecked need to go to bed now

g'dnight! and remember, i was the first male here....therefore it's MY harem :wink:
 
'Night Ewen (or rather early morning)!

This place is going to be so much fun... Just wait 'til the others see it.

<<.... runs out the back to the kitchen... >>>

Need to get some coffee on. Thick, black and very Turkish...
 
**Enters the bar with a loud...**

Salam Aleikum! :D


Wauh Rebekah, niiice!!! :yes::up: I really like it...


**Walks up to the bar desk and makes herself a rum & coke**
 
Rebekah! I *LOVE* IT!!!


The decor, it's just gorgeous! I'm excited about the Hookah bar even though I don't smoke but there's always a first time right? :wink:


An alcoholic beverage is just what I need right know. Some dumb %^&* just hit my car in the parking structure and what makes it worse is that she was going the wrong way!!! Add to the fact that it's raining pretty heavy outside and SoCal drivers don't know how to drive in the rain----it took me literally 3.5 hours to get to work only to be hit head on---yeah, a great strong drink is just what I need.
