The Hackerz Niteclub concept first started to take shape July 5, 1997 to be a non-alcohol, non-smoking, computer themed nightclub and vegetarian restaurant [Las Veegan, Veganites, Vegabite, Vegabit, Vegabyte (all SM)] where people can meet, dance, and eat in a healthy and stimulating environment.

Due to its unique use of computers in a nightclub, Hackerz has the potential to be expanded world-wide. We are looking for $5,000,000 US capital investment, as well as management, location, and product or service partners and investors.

You enter the nightclub by walking on an image of a giant computer keyboard on the floor and in through what looks like a large computer screen with the Hackerz logo on it (maybe projected onto a wall of fog), which is the main entrance. The cover charge will be comparable to other clubs in the area. Our dress code will be enforced, and security personnel will be augmented by radio communication and audio/video surveillance. The floor inside looks like a giant printed circuit board and there are flashing lights on the floor, walls, and ceiling (large video screen walls) simulating flowing data. Black tables and bars look like computer chips with chairs of formed stainless steel (or chromed plastic) which look like the contacts of the computer chips. The raised dance floor looks like one huge integrated circuit. The interior, as well as the exterior, will be changed and remodeled as computer and communication technology changes. We visualize a size of about 10,000 to 15,000 square feet in area.

The ceiling above the dance floor will be completely covered with lights, mirror balls, speakers, water mist jets, and HVAC/fog outlets. The non-slip dance floor will pulse like a heart beat with multicolored strobe lights, spot lights, and flood lights, each color being controlled by different sound frequencies (or also by a light control person).

Red lights will fire with the low frequency beats. Green for the low midrange, blue for upper midrange, and yellow/white for the highest frequencies. The space will also be pierced, in time with the music, by countless beams of light from many smooth and rotating faceted mirror balls. The light show will be an extension of the music, not just flashing on their own. The main sound system will be swung down, or turned facing into the nightclub, to be used when the raised dance floor is a live performance show stage. Our sound systems will be high quality and full range (from below 20Hz to over 20KHz) that will shake the building, but safely at a sound pressure level that will not be dangerous to hearing. The music will be loudest on the dance floor, including sub-sonic motion generators (below 20Hz) to shake the floor itself. There will be quieter, smaller JBL speakers in other areas. For live performance shows, delay circuits will be used to synchronize the other speakers with the sound coming from the stage PA system. For nightclub dance sound, when the main speakers are firing down onto the dance floor, there will be no delay in the rest of the speakers so they will all synchronize with the dance lighting coming from the dance floor. Each area in the club will have its own full range speaker system set to the volume required in that area.

We plan to use JBL 18" low, 10" mid, and "Bullet" high frequency components (or similar) in our own patent pending, modular DLA (TM) DeadLine Array (TM) speaker system for the main stage/dance floor speakers. This full range sound system could be a separate new product investment in itself. The minimum number of boxes for each stack would be four, maximum depends on ceiling height. One stack could handle the amplifier power of approximately 4,500 watts (3,200 watts for the bass, 1,200 watts for the mids, and 160 watts for the highs). The cost for a minimum one stack system would be $5,000 to $8,000 US.

Individual boxes or more stacks could be added to make whatever size system is needed. Some boxes have only the single 18" speaker, others have the 18" and one or two 10" speakers, and still others add either two or four high frequency drivers to the previous configuration. All boxes are the same outside dimensions. Smaller systems with the same DLA concept could also be assembled with 8", 10", 12", or 15" woofers and appropriate mid and/or high frequency components. The boxes can be either ground stacked or flown.

Adjacent to the DJ/sound booth will be a recording studio for digital audio and digital video production and playback. This studio could be used for continuous video projection of performers, dancers, or anything else. This studio could also be used to record live concert or show performances, or private productions when the nightclub is closed. Our A/V equipment of choice includes Apple, JBL, Crown, Tascam, Shure, Numark, and Sony.

Via the Fantasy Flight, a division of The FaRo, is planning showcases of singer/songwriters, these showcases, "SOS" (Spotlight on Songwriters), could be held at Hackerz where songwriters from all over the world can perform their songs live or on CD. A&R reps from the music industry can see and hear the songs first hand. Another division of The FaRo that would be useful to Hackerz is Trimordial Studio - Audio, Video, & Graphics.

The primary partners are Roy Al Rendahl and Farrah Reizana, owners of The FaRo in Las Vegas NV USA. We are currently looking for management, financial, location, and product or service partners and investors. We can provide promotional space on the computer screens, web site, and in the room; special event or show sponsorship; and membership/mailing lists to announce products and services. Roy Al Rendahl will be in charge of design, audio/video, Mac computer technology, and marketing/advertising. Farrah Reizana will be in charge of music programming; food and beverage service; and financial, office, and personnel management.

Through our extensive research of over 50 nightclubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Las Vegas; the Macworld Expo in San Francisco and the Nightclub & Bar Convention and Seminars in Las Vegas; and music, hospitality, nightclub, and computer/internet magazines, we have refined our ideas for starting and running Hackerz Niteclub. We have also done much research and taste testing on recipes using meatless products. Even meat lovers love our meatless recipes!

Hackerz can be located anywhere around the computerized world. Areas that we would like include Las Vegas NV, Los Angeles CA, and Santa Fe NM. Las Vegas, with a population of about 1.5 million, and 38 million tourists a year looking for entertainment, is our first choice for a location. It is the "entertainment and convention capital of the world." Los Angeles, the magic land of music and movies. Lots of people and nightclubs, but always room for the right one more, in the right location. Santa Fe, "the City Different," with a population over 65,000, is a world class art market and tourist destination for world class people. Many fine restaurants and art galleries are located in Santa Fe.

Hackerz' vision is to be a place to unwind that isn't home but where you can do the things you do in the home environment - listen and dance to music, eat, drink, socialize with friends, or play on the computer. Hackerz Niteclub will be known as a place to rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul; and have fun too.

Some animals (like cats) have a digestive system that requires meat, some animals (like cows) have a digestive system that requires plants, some animals (like humans) have a digestive system that can process both meat and plants. One animal (human) has evolved enough to be able to choose not to cause pain, suffering, and death to other animals.

Some humans (vegetarians and peace activists) actually demonstrate this advanced state.

Look into the eyes of whatever animal you would like to eat (before it is slaughtered of course), maybe this will help you reach this higher level of living with the earth.
