The people who are performing in the club usually hang around here by the stage.

Gus stands here chatting with his posse.

A massive loudspeaker is booming tunes next to the stage.

"Man, it's really hot in here, dontcha think?" Gus says. His posse nods in unison, competing who can agree the most. Assflies. He takes his sweater off and hangs it on the back of a nearby chair.
