Meanwhile Around Town


Downtown: I previously reported that DJ QBA from Club Space in Miami is playing Saturday night at Bliss Ultra Lounge. I need to add that you can get in for FREE if you bring a toy donation for Toys For Tots. They're also offering $3 beer, cocktails and shots until midnight. I recently reported on the Aahz Reunion of DJ's Dave Cannalte and Kimball Collins at Tabu on Thanksgiving Eve. Look for another reunion next summer, possibly the evening of July 4th. Finally, one of our favorites, DJ Smooth of RadioDanz.com and formerly of XM Satellite Radio, may be appearing at some well-known clubs soon. Stay tuned for details once confirmed.

Over at CityWalk, the Orlando Sentinel reported Wednesday that a Fat Tuesday bar is coming soon. The Save PI Blog published that information back on September 29th! The Sentinel also mentioned the opening of the IMAX at AMC Universal and a Japanese eatery. All these new things and that whole food court thing all occurred after PI closed. You can thank Disney for sending so many of their customers over to Universal. The 80's band Switch returns to 80's Night at The Groove sometime during January, according to their website. Stay tuned for the exact date.

Speaking of the Sentinel and moving over to Disney World, theme park ranger Dewayne Bevil reports on the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Review at Disney's Fort Wilderness. In the article in today's issue of the Sentinel's Calendar, he mentions that the comedy doesn't measure up to Comedy Warehouse and Adventurers Club! Finally, check out the website Screamscape which covers theme park news around the world. The website mentions the Save Pleasure Island blog in yesterday's news as well as a few other times during the past couple weeks! For Pleasure Island news and rumors, as bleak as it is, always stay tuned to this Blog!

Haha! Disney mgmt never admits to making mistakes. They NEVER make mistkaes!

As all mentioned here previously, the demise of Pleasure Island was all just a bunch of stupid mistakes by Disney in operating it (removal of entertainment [Explosion Dancers], no advertising, ungating, removal of more entertainment (West End Stage) ...etc.
