The renovations to Blue Cats are an overall plus because they included new lights, speakers and other sound system improvements. The music sounded better than ever before. The fidelity is changed for the better and loud isn't so painful any more. The bass was coherent and clean, so props. Thank you Jason for the great upgrades. Blue Cats made the right choice by hiring you. The other renovations, like the floors (not the best choice for color and pattern, but follows their obvious motif) and restrooms make the venue and event better as well.
As for the beach on the patio… "Goths in Paradise!" is a b-movie where people get sand in their boots, overheat, burn their pale skin and apply sunscreen to their trench coats, leather and vinyl. Do you know what salt water does to styled hair?! It's been suggested that the flashing green palm tree is a signal to the aliens from the planet Floridan to land in the patio. I'm all for the fountains and gardens, though. Someone tell me if the phone booth is still there. The brain cells which encoded those observations have been mercilessly executed. Overall, the patio is better than it was before. No other mention will be made of the outdoor wall paintings.
I certainly won't let anyone who attends ruin my good time, so tell us all about your good times last weekend at Knoxville's premier gothic event.
