Maybe P Moss might be interested in either buying or leasing the place. He would be perfect.

That would be a great Las Vegas triple: The Double Down Saloon, Frankie's Tiki Room, AND Atomic Liquors.

And on another note, please keep the Hard Hat Lounge on the Q.T. I was talking to Laura Herbert who is the curator of the Burlesque Hall of Fame at Emergency Arts. I mentioned I was going to drop by the Hard Hat, when one of the managers at "The Beat" coffee house overheard and said "I don't ever want to hear that bar mentioned out loud !!". Apparently an onslaught of ironic hipsters has invaded the down and dirty Huntridge Tavern (!!) and she wants to keep the Hard Hat a local secret.

Shhhh... let's keep it in the TC family. :) (Mr. Smiley, maybe you should take down your Yelp review)

There is a fine line between keeping something a local secret, and keeping it sooooo secret, that nobody goes and the place goes out of business.
