Cinnamon and I were up in Milwaukee for a craft show two weekends ago, and the hotel we stayed in was sort of odd. It was a Comfort Inn that had previously been some independent hotel and had been converted fairly recently. The lobby restaurant/bar was a place called Aqua, which looked like it had been designed to be a mix of what was vogue over the past couple decades. The room was painted various shades of, you guessed it, aqua and blue (except for one wall that inexplicably bore a mural of two zebras); the bar was made of lucite and stainless steel, with bubblers of blue and green colored water for walls and lucite bar stools; a seating area with nice lounge chairs and multicolored linoleum tiles; and there was a light-up disco floor in white, aqua and blue squares.
In the midst of all this, a jazz vocalist and a pianist (at a white baby grand) were performing classics and pop tunes. It all made for a pretty awkward scene. The nice thing about the bubblers in the bar, though, was that if you were bored or just really drunk, you could just watch the water move under your drink.
