Glitch City is baffled. A intercity bar called VA-11 HALL-A has recently become the center of global attention. Virtually indistinguishable from the other properties operated by the parent megacorporation, the rundown dive possesses no redeeming qualities, no unique drinks, and an abundance of poorly mannered clientele. (According to rumor, the local corgis have done terrible things to the bathroom facilities.)
Nonetheless, prestigious outlets from across the globe have written numerous articles about the bar, leaving officials flummoxed. “We don’t know what’s happening,” said a source on the municipal board. “But we think this is a good thing.”
Officials believe that this unprecedented level of attention will result in an onslaught of tourists, and are planning to address this influx of visitors accordingly.
“We need to build more fast food places,” said another anonymous contact in the local government. “How else will people be able to integrate nanomachines quickly? There’s the risk that their immune system will reject our airborne units.”
“I hope they bring foreign money,” said a random person on the street. “Also, what’s all this mention of cyberpunk bartending? It’s just a broad in a dank bar. And what do they mean play? Unlicensed people can’t serve alcohol!!”
Pundits believe that the first wave of tourists will appear June 21st. For the purpose of posterity, we have included a round-up of foreign write-ups on our beloved city.
