You can't cite wikipedia. That's like citing a bathroom stall.

[10] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea The term Pangaea does indeed refer to the super continent of yore.

Corner Shoppe is already the hottest club this side of Koenig.

I can't claim to be the Lord, but I can explain the name. It's not refering to the super continent of yore (that would be Pangea). The name is a combination of: Pan: of everything Gaea: Mother Earth Having cleared that up, there's still no way in hell I'm going to stand in line to get into any bar. I'd rather sneak my hip flask into the Corner Shoppe on North Lamar and get wasted while surronded by creepy stuffed animals.

Smart club owners know that their "clientele" is fickle, and on to the next new ooncing-hot thing within 6 months. That's the shelf life, and it's also the business cycle. Renovate, give pretentious one-word name, grand-open, take all the $10 cover and $8 drinks you can, then close, renovate, and repeat the cycle. And,sadly, it works.

The beginning of this article reads like it came from the "Frat Aliens" episode of ATHF.

I think the big joke about the Jetsons was that it was set in the present, not the future. The reason their houses were so high off the ground was because the ground looked pretty much like 4th and Colorado.

It's amazing how long clubs like those could stay open. It's almost as if the owners aren't actually dependent on the clubs being money making enterprises. Maybe they have some other stream of money that they need to legitimize. Of course, it could just be that there are a lot of coked-up douches that think it's the '80s all over again. oonce-oonce-oonce-oonce

How does Vicci stay in business? It has to be a cover for a chop shop or something. Maybe they're getting their alcohol from the Twin Liquors stash.
