Behind the Scenes

What's New
A blog of approximately-weekly updates of all the behind-the-scenes machinations that make this club go.

In the Press
Sometimes people write articles about us. Sometimes those links are collected here.

Remodeling
We spent most of 2001 remodeling DNA Lounge from the ground up, and here's a description of the result!

Sound System
Here you will find a complete specification of all of the audio gear installed in the club.

Lighting System
What would a nightclub be without blinky-blinky things? We've got some really great ones.

Permits and Lawyers
Here you will find information on all of the permits that one needs to legally operate a nightclub in San Francisco, as well as information on how to operate an audio webcast legally. This information is somewhat dated, as I collected this while we were in the process of re-opening in 1999 through 2001, but it will give you an idea of the nightmare of the whole process.

Source Code
Since we're running a rather high-tech club here, we've written a bunch of software to keep it all running. And we're giving it away. In here you'll find code related to the audio and video webcasts, the (former) kiosks, and anything else. This code is all Unix/Mac-oriented: DNA Lounge is a No Microsoft Zone and proud of it.
