She polishes the last of the glasses, hung in neat little rows over the bar. Checks the bottles lined up behind her, hundreds of them in all shapes, sizes, and planet of origin. Makes sure the taps are fresh and ready to go, and that the blood warmer is set to body temperature (cuz those pesky Vamps hate cold blood).

She looks at the clocks on the wall, set to every time zone (plus a few of the most well-traveled planets and alternate realities). Almost time to open.

Plenty of places to sit. Plenty of food to share. She hopes that all writers of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Spec Fic (plus anyone else who happens to swing by from time to time) feels at home. Able to let their hair down, talk about their day, and just chill. Support each other.


A bell dings. Opening Time!

So there ya have it, folks! YA has their Random Musings thread. TIO has the Landfill. They've got Sunshine Cafe's and Comedy Cabaret's, but now there's....um....this new little unnamed corner of the world.

The "must pertain to the writing of SF/F" rule doesn't apply here. It's a place for folks to be folks. Chat about your WIP, your awful day at work, how much you want a light saber of your very own. I may occasionally merge OT threads here, but for the most part, it's a safe haven for Off Topic conversation.

As for the name, I'm taking suggestions. And then there will be a poll. So far, we've got:

QUARK'S BAR
CALLAHAN'S CROSSTIME SALOON
COWBOY FENG'S SPACE BAR & GRILL
TEN-FORWARD
MOS EISLEY CANTINA

Adding:
The Prancing Pony
C.H.A.O.S. - Cantina for the Haven of Aliens and Other Species
Chaos Alternate Parallel Future Spec World. CAPFSW
The Black Hole
The Restaurant at The End of [The Universe] [Cyberspace] [The Interwebs] [The Internets]
Fred
Ten-Backward
Ten-Posterior
Al Gore's House
Al Gore's alternative prancing posterior at the end of the black hole
Light Sabers & Magic Wands
Universal Planet
Planet Universal
Far Far Away
Once Upon A SFF
42
Portal 42, Destination Earth
ETA: Estimated Time of Arrival
Munden's Bar
The Bar
Watering Hole
Millenium Falcon
Centurion Hawk
Morley's
The Time Lords' Pub
The Mended Drum
Biers
C.H.A.O.S. Tavern



Mix and match 'em, or come up with something new. Let's give this new hangout a name!

Nice decor. Still has that classy Cantina atmosphere, but with a touch of modern accents.

And a bar.

Yup, I'm good.

I think we should all pull our pants off, so Ace will feel at home when he gets here. You know how skittish he is about new places.

Okay, maybe he's not so skittish. But I'm not going to be the only one pantsless today, darn it all!

*sigh* It has that fresh paint smell. I love that smell, and the smell of chlorine. They both just smell so clean. :)

Psst.

Kricket.

That's bleach.

You ... probably don't want to start asking too many questions about what they used to do around here before we moved in.

Just flipped from the main AW page back to the SFF one and went to click on the "Cantina" thread. I'm so trained to reach for the "Last" link, that it threw me that the new Cantina only has one page.

Rumor has it some guy named Pavlov has an opening for a "research assistant". . . .

*fingerwiggle* Hallo!

I should be. I'm working today so that affects the time I'm at the computer, but I should be around on and off most of the day.

This sounds like me!

*stretches out on couch*

As long as the bar is in the same place ,the bantha is well fed and the magic glasses work the same, I'm good.

I'm real good.

Mmmm.... Food, I should get me some... *wanders off into the kitchen, stares at the food that she doesn't want to eat and/or make, wonders if she has enough money to go to Subway, doesn't feel like waking up a napping boy to get food, finally grabs a glass of milk and a bunch of Oreos* Yep, that's how I roll.
