The Blue Note
From the outside it looks relatively plain in it’s specific location, Changelings who had been kicking around Sacramento years might recognize it as the pace where Maxine’s once stood. Those who have been here for even longer might even remember the Empty Orchestra that had been bought out by the tacky Bar and Grill.
Now the newly christened Jazz Club gives a bit of a colder and more nostalgic vibe. The exterior is now a throw back to the nineteen-twenties. Directly inside the door is a small sign that says ‘Private Party’. The changelings who have the eyes to see, or various other ways to learn things about where they are have seen the announcement of the Coronation.
The first step into the bar evokes the cold winds as the temperature doesn’t change from outside to inside, and instead actually drops a few degrees in the passageway. Each person passing through can see their breath for a short moment before the inner warmth begins to work it’s way into them.
After walking a few steps into the bar the rather large bearded form of someone who was likely typecast as a bouncer. Seeing as he wasn’t necessarily dressed ‘nice’ but was standing near enough to the door to dissuade people from entering who didn’t have specific permissions. To everyone entering, who has not otherwise met such a bouncer, they can assume that he is Mortal, he does however evoke the camaraderie of a shared pledge in anyone who has sworn the Freehold Commendation or the Freehold Seasonal Oath.
In the room beyond, there a few tables scattered about, and on the far wall a stage where various sound equipment might rest and instead a large decorated tree stands slightly off center of the stage.
A vinyl juke box is playing lightly from one of the nearby walls. The white-dreads ofGianna’s hardened mask are bouncing slightly near the juke box as she occasionally will change the music. Mrs. Rosemary is nowhere in sight but one side of the room has a feast prepared on it, as it is relatively customary for such events in Sacramento that the Spring chef knew about.
Monarchs of the four courts are, as usual generally not visible at this time, though the occasional scent of violets occasionally drifts through room as if there were some in attendance.
Down the hall where the restrooms are, between the two doors that indicate the split-gender restrooms, is a large ornate dressing mirror that is covered with the crystalline designs of ice.
