Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, of pointy bangs and V-Cast phone commercial fame, is opening a bar in New York at the end of this month.
Based on
this interview with Wentz in New York Magazine, here's what that bar is going to be like:
1. A place for people to come together, drink, and share ideas–reminicent of Warhol's the Factory. If, you know, the Factory was modeled after a hangout for cartoon turtles and the people who like them ironically:
We're not trying to make a pile of cash and have this place that's written up everywhere –it's just a cool idea. This communal thing, it's a lost narrative in pop culture. You don't have anything like the Factory anymore, and where people can come together and talk and get wasted. I want it to be like Shredder's hangout in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.
2. The kind of bar that sells killer t-shirts.
I've come up with a design for the bar, and I'm doing the T-shirts. Technically the bar goes by Angels & Kings, but me and all my friends call it AK-47. That's what the T-shirts are going to say.
3. A place with enough space to accomodate anywhere from 6 to 21 people, and all their 80s movie references:
How big of a posse do you roll with?
