Cheerful Kalyani is the perky and capable face of front of house operations at cult DIY rock club The Great Mistake. She mans a little desk just inside the front door of the venue, where she sells tickets, runs the coat check and lost and found, and redirects anyone unwelcome in the club to the bouncer, Topaz, with a smile. Her desk has all the essentials: a stack of music magazines to while away the time, a Sharpie to X the hands of the underaged, a stick of deodorant for the smelly, a bullhorn for the problematic, and most importantly, a decoy duck named Jeff.

With Carrots she works on various advertising efforts for the club, and with Lyle, the two of them make up the venue's street team, distributing flyers for future shows. She's good friends with Lyle and Topaz, her partner-in-front-door-crime, and personable with everyone. She's friendly for sure, but not even slightly naïve: she lives for the chaos that is the beating heart fueling the music venue, and she loves being a part of what makes it tick.
