When we first heard about Pleasure Island closing we were so sad. We usually head there every Thursday night to party it up with other gays at Mannequins. We heard they were set to close September 27th. The last few Thursdays leading up to the 27th were really packed. We knew we would need to get there fairly early the final Thursday they were open in order to get in. The lines are usually really during busy events. We arrived at 9:15 pm and probably got in the door in under 30 minutes. I would say by 10:30 pm it was really packed. We waited in line at one bar for over 30 minutes to get a drink. I finally noticed someone at the front of the line and bribed him to order six drinks for me. We went ahead and ordered 2 each because we knew the chances of us getting another drink were slim. They only had one bartender at each bar other than the main bar. They lost an extreme amount of money Thursday night. We would have drank more if we didn't have to wait in line so long.
The night quickly came to an end as it seems to always do when I am having a good time. We took a few last pictures together in front of the Mannequins sign and headed out to the parking lot. Of course we had to stop in at Taco Bell on the way home and plenty of other drunks did the same thing. By time we got back I was fast asleep and exhausted. I crawled in to bed around 3:15 am and set my alarm to wake me up at 8:00 am for work.
Now we have to find a new place to deposit our money and drink away our worries at on Thursday nights. I am sure it won't take long... I saw a sign for a cute place down the road called Brick and Fire that has .50 cent drinks on Thursday nights.
