Time Out Of Mind: The Ultimate Lounge Experience

Time out of mind.

That state of being when everything is cool, relaxed, and suave. A time when "revolution" meant watering down your scotch with ice and "evolution" meant taking out the olive and putting in an onion. A place clothed in leopard and sharkskin. An era bathed in gimlets, hi-balls, straight-up, on the rocks, shaken not stirred, hi-octane elixirs dressed in garish garni. A time viewed through the seductive haze of slow-burning lipstick-kissed cigarettes that end up ashtray-dancing with cigar-stubs and cherry stems. The atmosphere mambos to the soundtrack of cool. Rumbling saxophones, jazzy vibes, and the sexy chill of a brush across a cymbal.

Time out of mind.
