I feel bad. Kyle is really bummed out because he used to work there and he LOVES the Adventurer's Club. Plus, this pretty much eliminates any possibility of adult nightlife. I guess the new Irish bar is staying open, but I do sort of miss the craziness we got into at Motions. For those who aren't familiar, Motions was a really tacky club where basically they played Top 40 while guys humped anything that was even remotely moving on the dance floor. I know it doesn't sound like a loss, but it's a little time capsule of being on the Disney College Program. (I was 19, give me a break.)

Gone is the 80's club with the light up dance floor and the gyrating middle aged tourists. Gone are the day-glo girls with their test tube shots and blinking earrings. Gone is the club that I can never remember the name of...you know, the one with the spinning dance floor where nobody ever went...

And gone is any hope of the traditional bachelor/bachelorette party. It's funny, I wasn't looking forward to it, but now that our options are closed, I'm a little unhappy about the whole thing. Where's the "Save P.I." petition? I'll sign it right now.
