Surrounded by a bunch of, well, jackasses (Johnny Knoxville included amongst his circle of crazies), Wee Man was a major player in the series and some of his stunts would put the Three Stooges to shame. Born with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, Wee-Man put his miniature size with the Jackass fellas to good use by actually kicking himself in the head in one skit, acting as a skating Oompa-Loompa in another, and perhaps in is finest moment, popping out of a suitcases and terrifying its owner.

Long enough to know a thing or two about our great metropolis. OK, metropolis may be a bit of a stretch, but hey, at least it has a Best Buy and an IHop. Heck, this place even has a Hooters! (editors note: I just go for the wings....Really!) In fact, I moved to Missoula simply on the condition of those amenities. I had to have an electronic store and chocolate chip pancakes with the smiley face near my home, otherwise I had to move elsewhere. (Oh, and wings. Really, really good wings. Seriously!!)

We are talking about three decades of wild and crazy fun in a legendary Montana double-wide trailer here, people! From the down-to-earth and often friendly regulars who frequent the bar after work, to the college crowd who burned holes into the floor from a mixture of progressive beer spills, dropped Jager Bombs and non-stop dancing. And, let's not forget the Bartenders New Years or the super fun Sod Parties!

Nearly every person in Missoula,Montana over the age of 21 has partied at least once in this establishment so there are bound to be more stories to share than what is currently written upon the men's bathroom walls.

And so we ask:

"What is your favorite (and maybe not so favorite) memory of the old Elbow Room?"

If you drive down Stevens Avenue you can see that the entire city block, that is still the current home of the infamous "double wide", is being built to accommodate a brand new events center, dance club, patio lounge and sports bar/restaurant.

As you can see in the video below, there has been an enormous amount of progress since our last walk through, you can really see it start to come together. One thing I walked away with was a feeling that the owners are truly doing their best to keep the same feeling of the current bar which is legendary for it's rustic and backwoods atmosphere. In some places, like for example the bar and dance floor, it still very much feels like the old Elbow, just a bit bigger. Quite a bit bigger!

Zoo FM had a chance to see first hand the layout of the facility scheduled to open in the late fall of 2011.

Phase 1 of 2 is what you are about to see in this brief virtual tour video, and from the looks of it Missoulians will have plenty more "elbow room" to mingle, drink and dance. A massive full liquor bar sits squarely in the middle of the venue surrounded by flat screens, a full service kitchen, shuffleboard and casino room, and my favorite part, a dance floor with high ceilings, even more flat screens and a seasonal patio that rolls out onto Russell street.

"I got a big opportunity to be shipped overseas to help bring food, water and shelter to those that are less fortunate."
