VANDAM SUNDAYS at Greenhouse w/ Susanne Bartsch and Kenny Kenny

Well this party was fun.
REALLY fun.
Susanne and Kenny's crowd came out in force and they were done!
I was a little worried because Sunday is a tough night but it was good.
It's very much like their Happy Valley parties.
If you liked that madness you will like this new incarnation.

It's official...
The bitches are back!

This past Sunday was the third week of Vandam and every week gets better and better.

It's Sunday so that means it's an early party.
People start lining up outside at 10PM
(open bar) by 11PM it's full and by midnight both floors are packed!

Upstairs has the traditional Susanne & Kenny over the top madness.
I play VERY high energy music to drive it over the top. (Electro mixed with Disco and House).

And the kids are DONE!!!
Every week more and more people come lit up like Christmas trees.
It's very "Happy Valley" if you were ever there.

It's also a VERY mixed crowd.
Of course there are the gays but there are also lots of cute girls.
(those born that way and those not)
And where there are cute girls...
(those born that way and those not)
there will eventually be straight boys sniffing them out.
I think I saw two on Sunday.

There is always a show. (around 12:30 or 1AM)
Narcissister, Julie Atlas Muz, Dirty Martini etc.

Upstairs empties out by 3AM and then it ALL happens downstairs.
Downstairs is packed all night but "late nite" is the best!
The music is hot and deep.
DJ Will drove me out of my mind last Sunday.
He was on fire.
I dragged my sad old beat up carcass (I was in a cab accident on the way to work and have a big black eye) out of there at 4AM but I still haven't stopped dancing.

The reason I am going on and on about this night because I know the Motherboards crowd and this party is for you!

It's not some last century bottle bar and it doesn't cost $1,000.00 to sit at a "Box" with a bunch of frat boy investment bankers if you know what I mean.
It's a real New York party night!
If you kids want to know what New York was like...
GET DRESSED UP!
Come to this party.
Get fucked up.
Lose your self in the music.
Go home with someone that would give your Sunday School teacher a heart attack.
Miss work the next day.
Miss work the next week!
And do it all over again.

Oh...
I also have to give some props.

Last Sunday I was watching Giorgio Armani (or "Mr. Armani" as everyone calls him).
It was about 2AM and he was having a ball.
This man has got to be about 70 but he was out there like a twenty year old.

I loved watching him.
He was intently checking out all the fashion of course.
REALLY enjoying all the looks that the kids put together.
I also loved watching him move to the music.
The hardest most rocking songs would get him off I noticed.
The Klass mix of "Where's Your Head At" by Jean Elan seemed to be his favorite.

This was interesting to me because the man is obviously very smart and successful etc. and the songs that he most responded to were the best songs.
Interesting.
It's like if something is good it transcends all age barriers.
I'm sure he's not hanging out with seventeen year-olds every night but he was there for hours got an earfull of their music and fashion.
And I can honestly say that by the songs that he most responded to that he totally gets it.

Interesting.

I just checked...
Giorgio Armani is 74.
He's amazing.

Werk GA!

Hey Pickles...
If your around on Sunday come and play with me!

I know where we'll be this Sunday.
Now I just have to talk Zazoo out of wearing his gnome look...

You guys had better look good.
You have a lot of fans here now.

We'll try.

If we don't hit the mark, we'll work to really miss it.

That works too.

So I know everyone was saying it was slow this week... but it still impressed the hell out of us.

It was really fantastic to run into so many friends in one place. Some we hadn't seen for 6 years.

The place was over flowing with outrageous, fun glamor. Here are a few select shots:

And everyone was color coordinated!
