I only made my living for a time off the plastercated people leaving six of those clubs. The easiest ploy was I would have a pocket full of photocopied twenty dollar bills and ask the plastered idiot if they had change for it. Some nights, like outside Studio 54 and Danceteria I would make as much as a thousand dollars. Once, Biance Jager just gave me a fifty dollar bill and told me to keep the change. Nightlife is great. But Musto should list the 10 alltime easiest clubs to get sex at.

Quite a few years ago, Dee vanished. And then finally people began seeing her on the streets, towing a shopping cart and homeless. People tried to help, but it was't much use... this was for about 6 months. The one day, during Clit Club "set up", some of the girls came in and told us she was dead. Sadly enough no one even questioned the story... (this was before Elizabeth Taylor & Dee's miraculous turnaround). A couple of weeks later, Julie Tolentino came into Clit Club "set up" as pale...

Well we should probably wait till the end of 2011 for that but... Have you noticed that there just aren't that many nightclubs anymore to begin with? Let alone good ones. The City has placed so many restrictions on them that only a raving lunatic would open one now. (Although, come to think of it, there always was a bit of the raving lunatic in every club owner...) And it does seem that nightclubs are happy (and lucky) to have just one "hot" night, forget about 7. Of course the definition of...

Re: Area

So, after 25 buildups and tear-downs, Area closed in early 1987 with "Childhood," a nice symbolic touch suggesting a life lived backward. For years after, I felt a twinge of nostalgia whenever I passed the site, at 157 Hudson Street in TriBeCa. When something like Area comes along, you think, This is a first! But when you think, This is a first, it's often really a last. Area suggested a brilliant future, where night life and art would merge. And they did, for a moment, with reckless...

Re: Farewell Charming Old New York: Part 3

Farewell Village Voice! What a rotten waste of paper THAT has turned into (La Musto excepted)!!! This week's cover story is some nimrod who used to be on American Idol; last week it was the monogamy-seeking gay rugby player. There is very, very little news anymore - did they completely overlook the crane incident (mere blocks from their offices), Flotilla, Quinn's police-state-like proposals for bars/nightclubs, Foley or even the wretched Pirro/Hevesi brouhahas? It's garbage.

I'm reading a lot on the beach. Some years I read legitimate literature. This year is all fun trash. I just finished "La Dolce Musto", I'm almost through "Freak Unique" by Pete Burns, next up is Boy George's recent tell all "Straight". I had to order those last two from Amazon UK. Hattie and Joe if you're listening, you should carry Freak Unique at the store. The cover photo will sell it plus it's a great read.

Re: Is New York over?

The fact that she is one of the only people regularly writing about clubs in NY for a print pub is in itself a symbol of the decline of clubbing. I do appreciate that club info is making print at all, but she has an extremely narrow, dj-centric view of nightclubbing and is a total bandwagon-jumper. I don't think she would know an important nightclub story if she fell over it, and thus resorts to the kind of "_______ is great, (wait 30 days) then __________ is soooo over" reporting...
