Return of the Kungaloosh?

[krhardy]

Any idea when all the renovations might be done, and AC could potentially reopen??? Sadly, I know it won't be in time for my upcoming birthday trip. AC has always been mine and DH's FAVORITE club...well, that and the comedy club. It helps when you're not afraid to embarrass yourself and have fun with the CMs. I will definitely miss it this trip!

So I went to PI last night to meet up with ConcK and Knox. Couldn't even get a beer, the lines even at the outdoor beer wagons were over 20 minutes long!

Now let me preface by saying I'm not much into the club scene anymore, and rarely go out to clubs. BUT, I must admit, it was a little sad to see the end of this era. I'm sure what Disney has in mind for this area will be good, and hopefully even better than PI. But it was a fun party while it lasted!

They darn near blew up the place at midnight last night! Alas, the last New Years Eve party!

I am going to put together a farewell video and I'll be sure to include some of that

I'm more disappointed than I am sad about PI and AC closing simply because, while I've been to Downtown Disney, I've never been in any of the PI clubs. I just wish I could've seen them before this happened.

I cried during the fireworks. They played the old soundtrack for the New Years show they had every night as the soundtrack for the fireworks, and I realized that PI had been a place I used to get away for NINE years.

I spent a third of my life visiting that place, and it's all over. I'll be a while getting over this one

It's been really getting me down today, so I started a thread for happy PI times.

What's the Kungaloosh?

I think I killed this thread....

What's the Kungaloosh?

It's a phrase that was often used in the Adventurers Club. Rob put it best:

"Kungaloosh" can mean many things. It can mean "hello", it can mean "kiss me quick before the lava reaches the village", it can mean "don't touch that, it's dead", it can mean "please touch that, I'm hoping it's still alive", it can mean "What are you doing with your pants around your ankles and why are you waving that stinky piece of cheese at me?", but tonight it will mean "goodbye".

I think it can also mean-
"Wally is a stud muffin and I want to give him all my cash
and my platinum Amex!"

That would be the case if I had cash or a platinum AMEX. When I apply for cards, I get a pre-recorded laughing sound...

I'll take Disney dollars too.
They just might be worth more than our own currency any way.

hot off the presses - word that they have already sold mannequins, 8-trax, AC, and BET. No word on motion or CW. I'm working diligently to find the source and find out if the clubs would remain the same

edit: this apparently came from a club manager. More details to follow

edit2: Security has locked the clubs and no one is allowed to go in them because they have been sold.
edit3: RRNBC is likely going to be torn down. The Motion sign is being stored on the third floor of mannequins

An e-mail sent out said that R&RBC would be opening as a spanish/southwest style restaurant with a lake view early next year.

are you sure they aren't tearing it down and building a new building for that?

That is possible, although I don't know how they could do it by the end of the year. A lot of people don't realize that the R&RBC had nice big windows overlooking the lagoon. They were back near the pool tables and away from the bars, so if you didn't play pool you might not have seen them. I just assumed they would be re-doing the inside some to make it flow better as a restaurant (and making the elevator so it didnt smell like puke )

Is there something you'd like to share with us?

I never puked in there, but my friends and I used to call it the "pukevator"

No, I'm not a cast member at the Adventurers Club, though we have many friends who are, and it's the dream job for both Scott and me. We're just regular guests. We met at 8-Trax during Gay Days 2003, and our first date was bar hopping at Pleasure Island. That first date started at the Adventurers Club with Kungalooshes. When we moved here, we started attending the club two or three nights a week and have done so for five years. We've made wonderful friends at the club, and have gotten to know the amazing people who work there both as bar staff and as performers. Many of them will be at our Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding on Sunday as guests, despite having become unemployed at 2:00am Sunday morning, when the last Hoopla ends.

We went to the Adventurers Club for the last time last as regular guests last night. It was very hard. I broke down at the end of the Hoopla and cried, Scott cried in the parking lot. It's been a major part of our lives, and as I said, it's a magical place.

I died a little bit inside last night. The part of me that claps for fairies because I believe is no longer as strong as it used to be. We clapped and we clapped, and the magic is going away anyway.

Our own "Happily Ever After" started when we met, and we're celebrating that this weekend.

But our beloved club, becomes a place where magic USED to live.

My inner child had to grow up a little bit last night.

And it sucked.

I talked with you for a couple minutes shortly after they had announced your wedding (congratulations). I didn't know you where on the dis or that you new the cast members so well. You did mention knowing them, but I did not realize how long. I had the fortune of going the last 3 nights.
I think the inner child was lost for everyone a little bit after the final night.
