The more I hang out at the Highland Inn, the more I like it. One memorable recent happening, the Laser Beam Kitty Show, delivered more than just a great line-up of local electronic bands, including Sonen, the event organizer. In addition to auditory pleasure that cost a mere 5 bucks, visual stimulation abounded, especially during Sonen's set. Apparently, a drove of robots travels with the group, dancing suggestively with each other and unsuspecting audience members. One of my favorite robots, who my friends and I have decided to call Neon Girl, wore all black, so the neon, light-up outline of her body was the only thing visible in the dark. At one point, Neon Girl shimmied up to me, rolling in my body bubble. The other robots, donning more traditional spray painted cardboard box costumes, were just as mesmerizing as the band itself.
Plus, since my friends and I were quick to rush to the Laser Beam Kitty photo booth after Sonen's show, we received free, cold, tall Asahi beers.
Plus plus, a patron was giving away free chocolate cupcakes in the bar area--a moist and delicious goodbye token to a friend who was moving out of town.
Plus plus plus, I didn't smell like smoke when I got home!
