Let's hope it doesn't smell like a Camel's toe.

Mike, good shit brutha. Good luck on Wednesday. Dilligent efforts are paying off! I'll hit you up soon enough.

Van Houten, you bitch ass!! Great running into you last night. Nice moves on the dancefloor, by the way. You're defintely right about last night. The reopening was INSANE. If there's one thing I have to agree with, it's the fact that the Nation team definitely throws the best parties on the Island. Music was crazy all night. Where else on the Island are you going to hear 3 djs like that in small, cozy room. The layout is really nice too - very intimate, dark, but attractive. When everything's set up to par in there, it's going to be nuts. I couldn't believe a party like that was actually only a few blocks from my house, lol. It's great to have something like so close to home. I left around 5, but I heard the party went until about 6. The small crowd was really digging everything the djs were playing last night. Rick, Rob, and Ritchie just killed it. Heavy, dirty beats all night. My body is worn-the-fuck-out from last night.

Thanks.

Straight crowd, mostly; very chill. Strictly house music. $15 w/o the guestlist; $10 with the guestlist. No dress code. 21+ Email Matt at SanctuaryLI@yahoo.com to be placed on the list. Party starts at 10pm and will probably go until about 6 maybe 7 the latest. Lineup tonight is Rick Santiago, Ritchie Santana, and Rob James.

Outside of NYC, Nation @ 2686 Hempstead Turnpike on Friday nights is a party of that nature.

I need to get some speakers for my computer.

Somebody please grab me a copy of that cd!!!

Unfortunately, given the strictures of the new area / location, the creators of the party didn't really have much of a choice. Nation has always been willing to accomodate its loyal patrons, despite their ages, but unfortunately, this time around, things have to be a bit more strict. In no way are my comments intended to be rude, by the way, because the younger kats were very important to the development of Nation. It's the younger kats who continue to define the scene.

Right near my house. I love it! Definitely looking forward to seeing the Nation crew a little bit further (but not too far) out West this time around!

A few months ago, a little party called NATION was established in Commack, Long Island, only to have its success brought to a complete standstill because of problems with the location. This was really a shame, since the club had been developing a great reputation and rapport with true house heads on the Island. From the time the doors opened, the lineups were insane: Mike Macaluso & Peter Bailey, Low End Specialists, Chris & Kai, Eddie Baez, Sheldon Romero, Anthony Nero, Boris, Johnny Vicious, K.C. Andersen, Razor, and the weekly residency of Long Island’s own after-hours veteran, Rob James. The few heads on this board who frequented the spot really enjoyed themselves, and they all conceded that the party was unlike anything that had experienced on the Island in years. Everything, from the music, vibe, and dress code, right down to the admissions fee, was perfect. The party was really attempting to accomplish something genuine on the Island by going against the grain and sticking to a strict house music regimen. After months of uncertainty, the party has finally found a new home at 2686 Hempstead Turnpike (the old Luxe) in Nassau. The team behind the party is still trying to accomplish the same goal – maintaining a consistent house music venue in a place where hip hop more or less dominates the club scene. We have the weekly residency of Rob James once again. There isn’t much that needs to be said about him, and for those who have been lucky enough to hear him in the past, you know very well what kind of shit he’s capable of pulling out of his crates when he’s on the wheels of steel. However, this upcoming Friday night, team Nation is going to spice shit up a little bit by throwing Ritchie Santana into the mix for the reopening. So, now that Friday nights are officially stagnant on the Island, try to come down and show some support for the only party that’s actually trying to keep something great alive right here in our backyards. Those looking for a straight up night of house will not be disappointed in the least bit by this venue. This Friday, September 24th, team Nation will be kicking things off once again with Rob James and Ritchie Santana. The same policies are still in effect – come and enjoy yourselves, and leave the bottle service, strict dress codes, and bullshit door drama elsewhere. Come down, dance as long as you want, and enjoy a night of great music, plain and simple. Once again, the address is N A T I O N @ 2686 Hempstead Turnpike, Levittown, NY 11756. 21+ Strictly house; no hip hop No dress code $15 w/o guestlist; $10 w/ guestlist Email SanctuaryLI@yahoo.com for guestlist

Damn. Time has been flying. I can't believe it's Halloween again already.

They're probably curious about the cross section of people who request the card and / or attend the parties.

No, you don't need to be gay to get the card.

I've had one for years, but the one (and only) time I've ever used it was at J. Blair's Sunday night party at Limelight during 99 or so. I know the card has some other advantages beyond door price reduction. And as was previously stated, all you need to do is hit up the website, register for one, and it will be mailed to you.

Definitely nice vocals to remix.

I will definitely make a genuine attempt to make this venture.

Good pussies, even on the gymnast.

Wuddup Vaughn. I was hoping to run into you at last week's Brazil gathering. The party wound up being great. I wish I could make it out tonight, but I'm in for the weekend.
