Clark, a burly, bearded man, threw his float-equipped Cessna into a tight, 80 degrees bank, and a few moments later landed in the light chop near a sizable school of big black-and- white orcas, the clownish and sociable five-ton mammals called killer whales.

On a typical Saturday night at D-22, by contrast, the jam-packed crowd sways and screams, with drunken German exchange students moshing alongside long-haired Chinese musicians checking out the competition. A young Chinese woman in tight denim shorts dives from the stage onto the crowd and is passed hand to hand around the room before being unceremoniously dumped onto the floor.
