inflatable pub-ness
Jan. 24th, 2005 05:21 pmOkay, when these folks came up with an inflatable church, I thought...cool. (insert oblig. joke about the propensity for many large religious edifices to have a surplus of hot air on hand)
But this: http://www.airquee.co.uk/pub/
...is just a bad, bad idea.
First of all, you'd have to encase all of the patrons in lucite, especially a sizable proportion of the people I know, who routinely either carry, wear or have installed in/on their bodies many, many sharp pointy bits. I can just see the likely swift conclusion to the evening's festivities, with a sadly deflating building coming down about your ears...."um, dude, you popped the pub."
Next, no pets, and no open flames, and where's the fun in that? Then, when the inevitable drips, spills or other untimely releases of various viscous fluids occurs inside, you're now walking around in a wading pool full of...well, let's just say a bit of a mess and leave it at that. Yuck.
On the other hand, when it's closing time, you can just hose it out and pack it away. Hmm.
Nah, yurts still rule as portable temporary structures.
