Would there be a Batcave 3.0?  Of course.  When I went to South Beach and saw their trendy clubs, I knew at once that 3.0 would involve an occasional transformation of Batcave into… Club KaVe' (pronounced "kah VAY").   Not a permanent change, but an occasional change.  And the key to making Club KaVe' a reality was simple... CLUB LEVEL LIGHTING.

One person asked "if I would have a disco ball." I feigned horror. "Uh, I think you are thinking of a 'disco,' not a club.  And uh, no, no disco ball." Just a club done on the cheap.

It's very difficult to describe Club KaVe', except to say it involves a haze machine, a triple color laser that can do some of the most amazing things in the air you've ever seen, a laser star projector that erases the ceilings and walls and makes you swear you are on a starship, high intensity LED moving moonflowers on the walls and floor, and LED strobes and UV black lighting, all programmed and controlled by a control board that synchronizes with the music.  When you walk into what you remember as the Batcave, you walk into a haze full of pulsing colors and groovy tunes, and you will swear you are in South Beach.

A select group of 30+ neighbors arrived for Club KaVe's grand opening at MIDNIGHT New Year's Eve -- technically 1-1-2008.   You can see the flyer and music list here. People weren't actually admitted into the club until 12:45a -- "because it's not a club unless you have to wait in line…"

I think Curt Richtermeyer described it best when he said, at least six times, "krs… this is INSANE!  This is INSANE!"

We tried to keep the music playing until the sun went down, but slowly our crowd trickled down to zero by 5a. 

It felt good to put Club KaVe' to bed the next day and get the candle-lit Batcave back.  Club KaVe' is under wraps for the moment…
