I was pushing my son in his stroller past the Palladium (site) yesterday...and ended up telling him about the club..(poor tyke is only 2 and is probably damaged for life with Mommies tales already).... cos i think it was a great time for me there... 1991, I had JUST arrived in NYC.. my first wk here (sent here by my job) didn't know ONE person here, had never even been here before.. first wk in, i was telephoned by Kelly Cuttrone (remember her! Where is she now) inviting me to a party (i was working as a tv producer and she was a publicist!)... so, the very first wk i arrived in the city..i went alone to this party in the engine room for Quentin Crisp... I met Chi Chi, Johnny (you both might not remember!) other folk invited for this private sit down dinner - lee chappell, Ed Callahan, Baroness Sherry, Kelly Cuttrone, Jason Weinberg... that first wk at that party I also met one of my best pals since i have been here, Greg Di Stefano -(hi Swifty!)..
Many a night Greg and i would end up sweaty on that dance floor at one of Lees parties...
It was also the club where one NYs Eve i ended up in there and picked up two HOT HOT Moroccan boys (the only two straight men in the whole place...arguing for their money back as the club was 'gay') I helped out the situation and took them both home...brought in the NY in real grand style.....
So................all in all the Palladium was good for me!!
