I know the guys who make the Neko, and it was actually their idea for him to
torch it. Plus, it was their device. I guess they figured it would be

The crappy part is that the club got shut down due to the incident. (Clubs
and fire don't mix well after the Great White inferno.) And so a bunch of
other musicians who were scheduled to play didn't get to. Of course,
OpenLabs/Devine didn't realize this would happen.
