| Save Pleasure Island Blog reader and regular contributor Madman Ray sends us a photo of a Mannequins receipt he recently found at home along with some PI wristbands. I like the $2 Buds. I like that his server was none other than Dawn! Those were the days! But Ray, ya gotta do something about all that clutter in your home! LOL....thanks for sharing! |
I still have mine form the last night!
ReplyDeleteCool! I've got my wristband but never saved any receipts.
ReplyDeleteDuane and I were so sad we forgot to save either item.
ReplyDeleteI lost a receipt which fell and slid under the Mannequins turntable once. I'll bet it's still there, under the turntable today, and has been laying there all these years. That's a real time capsule of sorts, the turntable is.
ReplyDeleteYou know how much stuff was probably under the dance floor? I remember one of the bartenders telling us that at one time the bathrooms backed up at 8 Trax and flooded underneath the dance floor. Supposedly there was access to it under the platform by the mirrors on the left side of the dance floor. If that's true, there was probably a lot of cap under there, lol!
ReplyDeleteCap = Crap
ReplyDeletewell if you remember mannequins rehab they fixed that issue back in 2001? they had to do a total rebuild of the floor.
ReplyDeletenow I was told the cleaning crew would wash down the floor and push the water under that floor also.
at one time Mannequins and what was Videopolis East at the time! then the cage then 8TRAX had a tunnel/walkway between the clubs.
I forgot all about the rehab.
ReplyDeleteFN/Ray/Brian/Anon: No doubt lots of paper items and dust under the floor, especially after 6 years of non-use. I was not aware of any tunnel between MDP and 8TRAX but they were one building and no telling what was backstage.
ReplyDeleteAs for bathrooms, the ones in 8TRAX were at the lowest level backing up to Mannequins. But the bathrooms in Mannequins on that side were upstairs on the 2nd floor. You'll recall that Mannequins downstair's bathrooms were in the corner by the entrance.
If I'm correct, the bathrooms upstairs at Mannequins (by the payphones and lockers) were above the 8Trax bathrooms. I remember that when you were in the 8Trax bathrooms, you could hear the music from Mannequins through the wall, so I could see that if those bathrooms backed up, how they could overflow underneath the dance floor of Mannequins. I'm sure Brian is right, there had to be some kind of passage way between the two clubs, but I'm not sure where it was. Damn, I miss those clubs!
