PI Update: Remembering Motion

As you know, the 8TRAX Reunion is taking place this weekend but let's not forget the overall Pleasure Island Reunion taking place at Atlantic Dance Hall on Saturday, March 24th!  Past PI Reunions have included some music from Mannequins, 8TRAX and BET Soundstage but overall the music played at past reunions has been the music played at Motion: Top 40 & Hip Hop.
But with so much of Top 40 now dominated by Dance music, it's sure to be a good time!
Motion memories: DJ Talie putting out the hits including the 'Cupid Shuffle' and 'Cha Cha Slide' at midnight!
Considering the large dance floor, the place would usually get jammed!
After the PI clubs were closed, Motion was offered for private events and this picture taken during June, 2009 was a Gay Days event featuring DJ Manny Lehman (USA). Many subsequent events would take place in here but they were Disney employee-related banquets and award ceremonies.
In December, 2010, demolition of Motion began and by the end of January, Motion was gone!

Motion was the best Club on the Island, closely followed by 8 Trax
