Jeepers! Your mention of The World reminds me of the time I went there years ago, basically fresh off the plane from Denver, and there was a man walking around the dancefloor selling drugs off of a tray, like a waiter. No one thought anything of it and the bouncers didn't even blink.

I spent part of the New Years at dinner with my friend Yab who had been to Jackie 60 with me a few times.
