-the roarax rounge has a red-carpet faux club set-up we can wrangle (i think it lives in oakland).
-Flashing light or strobe/APPLAUSE SIGN that lights up/strobes, for stellar karaoke performances... that we can set off whenever we applaud people?
-BETTER WIND SHEILD TO KEEP THE DUST DOWN IN LOUNGE AREA, MANAGER (?): if we want to lounge in the shade & a dust storm comes along...
