Ever since the Moulin Rouge opened down the street, the Moulin Bleu has seen nothing but a decline in business. The can-can dancers are leaving in droves, they can't get bohemian painters through the door with promises of free drinks, and even the half decent mimes won't work for the Bleu. The owners of the club, Monsieur and Mademoiselle Ennui, are desperate to find a solution to their problem, but the business simply doesn't have the collateral to merit a loan. When they do come up with a plan, it is more than a little disreputable and the repercussions could be deadly.

Menu: Dinner Buffet to be announced soon. An appetizer with salad, dinner rolls and assorted desserts. Ice Tea, Water and Coffee included. BYOB (please only bring beer or wine) for 21 & Over (Or bring your own soda).
