What happens when you open up a new club and you don’t even show up for the opening? That question was probably on the minds of more than a few who attended the premiere night of Décor, Insomniac’s latest foray into Saturday night Hollywood entertainment.

Now besides that being a bad-ass deal (grub under a dollar cant-miss), the use of Senor Cent’s name was a surprise to everyone but Taco Bell, and as any respectable business knows…you cant do that shit! Considering that Fiddy once sued an internet ad, you know those …
