When the Room Gets Louder

When the Room Gets Louder

This idea starts at a bar.

Just outside of town on Country Road, there’s a bar. It’s a little rundown, but it’s a wild place. It has bras hanging from the ceiling and graffiti on every piece of furniture in the place, including the bar and the floor. I remember going there one night.
