The Smilin' Buddha Cabaret was a Vancouver "Supper Club", originally called the "Smilin' Buddha Dine and Dance". It opened in 1953 by Albert Kwan. Its iconic neon sign, now found at the Museum of Vancouver, was a city landmark, and one of the most ornate pieces of neon signwork ever made in Vancouver. "The Buddha" or "Smileys" (just a few of many nicknames for the place) had a licence which allowed it to operate an hour later than other bars. Although many great musicians played its small stage from the 1950s to the 1990s, it was more simply known as a place for touring and local musicians to congregate. The venue closed for good in 1993, serving its last 16–17 years as Vancouver's epicentre of punk rock.

gollark: I mostly just have a terminal thing open for building and running.
gollark: Partly because I'm used to editors autocompleting very slowly or badly.
gollark: I'm mostly happy to use anything which does syntax highlighting, good ctrl+F and autoindent.
gollark: And it is bad and uncool because it is very verbose to do some things in.
