It's a fact: Pulp Fiction Theatre a night of fun
Hanging out in the basement and watching people make out seems so Midwestern, so That '70s Show. The harvest gold wall paint, low ceiling and Carter administration-era couches certainly give Boomtown Subterrannea a disco rec-room sort of feel, but Thursday night's Pulp Fiction Theatre dinner show is promoted as "Straight from the '30s!" .
