I run a club, among a few other businesses. It’s doing well, so I like to think I’m not just biased in my recommendation of it.

Even more than flattery, I think there’s truth in it. Not that truth is always what matters most.

I'll need to visit to see if that is true.

Sometimes you just want a nice, comforting lie.

You should, it’s called the Crow Club. Let me know if you find the time and I’ll try and be there.

Indeed. I find they can often be more beneficial and revealing than some truths ever could.

Will you act as my personal guide? I rather like the idea of that.

You got a promise, then. I’ll point out who to avoid at the card tables and show you backstage where our performers get ready. Or the kitchens, if that’s more your speed.

Guess that last bit depends on how good looking your performers are. ;)

They weren’t hired for their looks, but I’ve never felt compelled to put paper bags over any heads when going over their contracts because of the sight of them. Looks are subjective though, so I’ll let you decide when you arrive.

I was imagining dancing girls. Is it more musical entertainment?

There’s often music, yeah. Also dancing, it depends on the night and the act. I like to change it up and provide a platform to new local talent. I won’t pretend a part of me doesn’t wish I had the time and energy to invest in a proper revitalization of a good poetry slam night.

I know many poets if you ever decide to get that idea off the ground. And only some of the poems are about me.

I’ll keep that in mind, it’s appreciated. I normally leave the talent picking to others in my crew, but you know poetry is near and dear to the closest approximation of a heart I have. It's not surprising that those you inspire would then write about you.

Do you write poetry or just admire it? If you weren't touch averse I'd offer inspiration

Purely an admirer. I’ve never written anything, nor wanted to be a performer. I enjoy reading and deconstructing how magic tricks work, and sometimes my work involves costumes and playing parts, but that’s where it ends. I do know a very accomplished musician though, even if he doesn’t consider himself as such.

I bet you've got a poet hiding out in there. It's the ones you don't expect who write the most beautiful verse.

Will you show me a magic trick?
