The Bijou
== A lot of us will be using the Bijou. I'm posting Josh Waddle's description from "The Things We Try to Forget" and my own from "Farewell, My Miko" (which I tailored to correspond with his. The sources all warn us that hostess clubs usually had discreet exteriors, which we have both used.  I included a greeter in mine, because I thought there would probably be one in an establishment that handled that much money.  Josh didn't, but he skips straight from the door to the interior, so he could theoretically have not bothered to mention it.
