basically it was a bar/dungeon but to be honest pretty lame. Anyway, Lou was there intensely watching a lady being tied up to one of those things that sways slowly (kind of hammock like but looks more like a giant fishnet). My friend and I were like, is that... So my friend walked over and said, "can I ask you a question?" and the reply came, "you can't" and my friend walked back over and said, yup it's him. I heard the voice and had to agree.
