The Kachina Round Table of which Ab Ennis and Myles na Gopaleen Jr. are a part—more about this in a future post—meet in the Watering Hole of the Hôtel Adobe, located in the Old Town section of bustling Small Southwestern City, which is built around the turquoise trinket trade. The décor of this grand hotel is retro Old West. The barmen in this high-end establishment are dressed as cowboys, all the way from their silver-spur-fitted boots to their bullet-studded holsters to their sallow faces and hoary beards, all topped off with state-of-the-art Stetsons. The bargirls are attired in late sixteenth-century Kachina dress and coiffed accordingly. The typical meal is beef jerky sprinkled with sage and inundated with beans; it is washed down with a choice of tequila or a fine Mexican brew. In accordance with local law, all customers check their six-shooters at the cloak room; a trio of deputy sheriffs armed with sawed-off shotguns enforces this ordinance from their stations within the Watering Hole, where they are wont to gather for the purpose of both fiddling with poker chips on a turquoise-inlaid round table of their own and transferring funds from one person to another while emitting, respectively, shouts and sobs. For more information on this fine hôtel, check out their website at the obvious location.
