Despite the restaurant's unique brews, its competition comes primarily from other local restaurants, not from pubs or bars, according to co-owner Gary Gut said...
What you probably haven't heard is Bikini Kill's music. Mostly, it's first-rate, gut-level punk rock, linked in the slow songs to the immortal Stooges, and in the fast ones to the staticy, brittle, emotive rocking of other bands you've never heard, like Some Velvet Sidewalk.

But he is thrown into a quandary by his insinuating temp's efforts to promote a pretentious novel about radioactivity. Much soul-searching ensues as Charlie Fox, a subordinate, and Karen, the secretary, wrestle for control of Gould's mind and agenda...
