“You’ve been invited to the BIGGEST opening ever! Paradise-Disco: the biggest disco ever, with space for the family and also for those who just want to party. You’ll be more than welcome. at Dave's funeral Come have fun!”
That was the message I saw everywhere: an opening, a new club. Paradise-Disco was being mentioned in every group of friends, the topic of the moment.
“Have you heard about the new disco?”
“Yes! I heard they started in a garage, right?”
“I’m so excited for the opening…”
How would you feel about that? Well, I wasn't really into the scene until I heard about this "it" disco. I was just super out of place; I was the only nerd in my college class. And, man, it sucked to hear about something that wasn't part of my routine! Until one day I was invited, and at first, I didn't even like parties, but… since even my neighbor's dog was talking about this disco, why not give it a chance, right?
And, man, I was so happy when I found out the place had a family area; that way, I could stay away from the unnecessary noise. When I got there, my reaction couldn't have been anything less.
There was a pizzeria called Rabbit Hole that had affiliated with Paradise Disco, having the same pizzeria on its first floor, with expanded space and extended content.
It was simply love at first sight. I loved Rabbit Hole, simply the best pizzeria in the area. All those arcade machines with the latest games of the time, the most delicious pizzas and drinks in the region.
I'd been going to Rabbit Hole since I was little and I loved that place; seeing Lilly Rabbit was simply like reliving my inner child.
Lilly is the soul of Rabbit Hole. It's simple, but it has that old recipe we all love: it's a rabbit with exaggeratedly large and crooked ears, with an awkwardly silly face. It's something silly and childish, but everyone likes it.
Dave's Diary:
“Man… I don’t even know what to say, Hole Rabbit was the best pizzeria I’ve ever worked at and… I can’t believe it’s going to affiliate with a nightclub. Well, I hope things work out, because the job has become tiring and depressing. People don’t go to the pizzeria anymore and it sucks being in costume all the time, and the costume is hot! It’s not easy. I hope F&S is making the right decision, because, man… I haven’t been paid well for a long time.” (December 8, 1975)
“I simply don’t have words to express how this was the best decision F&S ever made. I’m absolutely loving it! They’re paying well again; thank God, I won’t have to save up to buy cigarettes. They even gave me a new costume. Plus, it’s really cool and air-conditioned. Who would have thought a nightclub with underground floors would work out? We even met the bosses there, George and Billy. They’re great people, very charismatic, to be honest. George has a VERY contagious energy, and Billy is a good conversationalist; I liked him. Dollores is loving the job.” (April 20, 1976)
“Man, how do I even begin… Paradise-Disco had a renovation recently and… I don’t know, something changed after that, something changed in there. Every time I leave work and eat, I feel like the world is crashing down on me. Dolores said the same thing is happening to her; it’s been really tiring. I think I’ll buy more cigarettes after this.” (May 7, 1990)
“I think I’m going crazy… seriously, I’m seeing things, hearing things and… I’m seeing Lilly. Every time I’m in that place, he’s there, watching me from afar. He stares at me with those deep eyes. I told Dolores about it; she thinks I’m making things up. I think I need to stop buying cheap cigarettes.” (October 9, 1992)
It’s been two months since I started seeing him… Before I only saw him when I was working now I see him on the street at the market at home Before he kept a safe distance but he’s been getting closer and closer to me This caused me to have a breakdown in the middle of work I ended up having an argument with Dolores because of it And here I am locked in the bathroom afraid that rabbit will try to do something to me I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore I can’t take it anymore I can’t hide from him anymore he knows where I am, he’s going to kill me Hell is green They’re against me I can’t trust anyone. They’re going to betray me he’s everywhere that damned rabbit He told me there are others in the afterlife waiting for me but that I’m special The man with the movie glasses told him that He said that I'm going to be someone and that I have a job to do
