Re: Neighborhood Characters
Yeah that Naked Cowboy thing is repulsive. He's like the nightclub S_ _ _ sh. It's full of tourists from out of town thinking that they are seeing New York but it's really a room full of other tourists from out of town looking at each other thinking, "New York isn't so weird. It looks just like home".

Hey all, we made it to London, 3 hour layover and then...home. Jade- we perform to DAT tracks. no live band.But a lot of the songs are remixes for nightclub dates. Wait till you hear about the Hong Kong show! Bill Clinton and this water sweetie. We brought Jaiko and Viva to Hong Kong to perform with us because the venue was so huge.

Re: RIP, VIP
Next to Quentin Crisp, one of my favorite New Yorkers was an uptown girl whom I belatedly learned passed on. I was visitng the NYTimes obit section for the first time in many months and discovered Daphne Helman, had passed away this summer very close to if not on Warhol's birthday.) She was listed as a name on the bottom of the page but the link wasn't working. Later that day I was on the Motherboards in the Versailles section and was reminded of the RIP VIP which I've also avoided far too...

Re: Party Monster - Michael Alig
Hey Miss Bridgette Bad You sound so interesting, after reading your last post I felt it was my obligation to inform you that there is actually a growing, eclectic group of new, colourful, nightclub personalities running around the clubs, it may be pretty different from the stars of the 80's/90's scene but don't despair, we do exist [This message was edited by Andro Genetic on 01-22-03 at 12:39 AM.]

Re: Nightclub Disasters
Interesting. The loss of life in both instances was TERRIBLE. We watched the Long Island nightclub fire story on the TV outside last night at Webster Hall when the news was on. Here in NYC I remember the Happyland incident of years ago too, and how that marked the beginning of the "crackdown" era in some respects. And the Chicago matter -- the idea of actually being trampled to death is really horrifying. An additional sad result of these tragedies (albeit less important than the loss of...

Re: Nightclub Disasters
I've heard that the owners of the RI club may be charged with murder or manslaughter along with a host of other charges. I feel almost as bad for them as I do for the fire victims and their families. Their business and careers are ruined, and they have to live with the deaths of 96 people in their hearts for the rest of their lives. If it's true the band was using fire without permission, clearly THEY bear the responsibility and should face the consequences. I'm not saying the owners are...

Re: Nightclub Disasters
I found this tidbit, from theBostonChannel.com interesting, and not reported anywhere else - http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/2009042/detail.html Also read that each burn pateint's hospital bill will be in the $400,000-500,000 range. So the $500 saved on the insulation yielded a $20 million hospital bill, among other heartache and tragic losses not even measurable, a huge hit to the club industry worldwide, and so much more.

Re: My Night of 1000 Stevies 14 review
Oh Jenny... Sorry you and your Mom had such a bad time. Obviously this night is not for you. In "The Big City" Jenny, people go out a little bit later. Actually, a show that starts at 10:15 in a nightclub is pretty early. Also, in New York we don't take things as literally as you do in Danbury. We can watch a video without the sound for instance. The video is atmospheric, you're not supposed to stand in front of the screen and watch it all night like "Friends". It's decor. And we didn't put...

Re: My Night of 1000 Stevies 14 review
Oh Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Nightclubs... (that's where you were sweetie, in a nightclub) open say at 9 or 10 PM. They close at about 4 or 5 AM. Most of the hot action happens aound midnight. The REALLY hot action happens after 1 or 2. The REALLY REALY HOT action happens about 5 or 6 AM. After that its MANHUNT . You may have been born in New York but you obviously have been hanging out in Danbury too long. Next time go with Messy Bonnie Raitt and leave Mom at home. She'll show you a good time.

Re: Farewell Charming Old New York
Farewell charming old lines outside of nightclubs! Finally, no more waiting around to get into all my favorites: Cielo, Spirit, et al. It's PartyBuddys! Yesterday's NYT had a fascinating story about a couple of alleged former Limelight habitues, who are putting their club-smarts to good use: PartyBuddys helps Joe and Jane Schmos bypass lines and gain instant access to VIP lounges at all of the city's top clubs -- for a fee. I am so down with the hire-a-paparazzo, too. A steal at $250/night.

Hmmm... I think I was misunderstood. ACT UP meetings on Mondays used to draw 200 or more. Now the actual "meetings" of the "official ACT UP" are small. That's all I meant in response to the question.

I, too, am stunned and shocked by the news. Adam and I first met when I was doing "Disco Interruptus" in 1990 at the Roxy... he was working a daytime office position there, just out of college. He was a brilliant, intelligent man-- a great DJ and musician, a wonderful writer, a perennial wit and he truely had a heart of gold. He would pop up in the oddest of places and at the most diverse parties and had the sharpest of minds--nothing escaped his notice. I always enjoyed any few minutes of...

Re: Dean Johnson - Death of a Legendary Legend
Last night was magic. When I walked by with the dog a half hour before the party and saw the nightclub legends lining up outside I knew it was going to be over the top. And it was! Nightclub royalty came out of the woodwork for Dean. I haven't seen anything like it since Andy Warhol's memorial. Dean must be very pleased. It looked like a block party outside in the street. (Inside got too crowded) Dean sure was loved.
