Popular NYC nightclubs to be auctioned By Associated Press NEW YORK, August 6 - Two Manhattan nightclubs that have long been trouble spots with police and New York City officials will be auctioned, according to a published report. The clubs, the Tunnel and Limelight, will be auctioned off to the highest bidder in U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Aug. 13. Peter Gatien, who owns the troubled nightclubs, has said he is ready to end his years-long battle with City Hall. City officials have complained that the Tunnel is a magnet for drugs and violence.In April, a 16-year-old patron was stabbed to death in a parking lot near the Tunnel. Two years ago, an 18-year-old died of a drug overdose there. The Chelsea nightspot has become a central target in Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's aggressive nightclub enforcement effort.Before bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber ordered the auction sale, Gatien said in June that he was ready to sell the Tunnel privately and move on -- needing to pay off taxes he owes the state. Gatien's debt includes more than $5.7 million in state taxes and $2 million in back rent.Gatien doesn't own the buildings, but the court will sell the club's names, leases, equipment and liquor licenses.

Ummm i think the Russian Trance Party is NOT something that SHOULD be posted on a BOARD. It is underground, and should stay that way!

i live, for all intents and purposes, in New Brunswick:shades2:

Well yes honestly it is a bad thing, but there are so many factors that go into account when throwing ANY party. Of course this wan't justy ANY party this was a huge touring party. From much of what i hear a lot of it had to do with that the promoters and those in charge of the party did not think by the rate of ticket sales that they would be able to cover their costs. This tour is a VERY expensive proposition epsecially with such large talent, who demand some amazing things aside from just money. So instead of cutting crners and maybe throwing a half assed party (read less or cheaper sound and possibly cancelling talent last minute) they deciced to postpone it until next year. Mekka is a new collective. While i am sure many of those involved with it have thrown parties before, perhaps none of such a magnitude, hence they may not have been properly prepared. So i believe you should take it easy, and not look upon this cancellation as being indicative of the culture, and try to support Mekka in their future endeavors. And in case you were wondering i am in no way affiliated with Mekka. Hell i hadn't even gotten my ticket yet.

Hey Teklord, i got mine in first.

This info is straight from one of the PR people for The Mekka Tour: MEKKA SUMMER TOUR POSTPONED New York, NY ­ August 1, 2001 - After a lengthy and difficult deliberation, Mekka Entertainment today announced that it will postpone its summer tour, set to kick off this Saturday August 4th in Detroit. The postponement comes after months of preparation. As the tour approached it became apparent that despite hard work and co-operation and support from people across North America, Mekka would not be able to present the events at the level it had envisioned. The Mekka collective cites numerous reasons for the postponement, the most immediate being time for planning. "It¹s impossible to put the blame on anyone, it¹s no one¹s fault" said a Mekka spokesperson yesterday. "Everyone on the team has put their hearts into making this happen, but when it came down to it we just didn¹t give ourselves enough time to put it together. The team is an amazing collection of people, who have all been completely dedicated. While the concept¹s been under development for over a year, the actual production and promotion of the tour started too late." While the decision to postpone the tour was a surprise to most, Mekka is encouraged by the response it has had from its partners and supporters in the community. "Our model is artist based ­ we did not want to go ahead with the tour as we saw that the talent would not be presented in a way that they deserved," says Mekka¹s talent director. "The agents, managers, and promoters we¹ve worked with along the way see that this decision is for the best, and they¹ve made clear that they¹ll support us with our plans for the future." Mekka outlined that the postponement of the tour does not hinder future plans, including music production, more events, a community website and more. "We¹ve had tremendous support from everyone," said the Mekka spokesperson. "You just have to go onto the website or look in the papers to see that the community really wanted this to happen, and they were behind the concept all the way. What¹s made this decision particularly difficult is that we know we¹re disappointing so many people, but we¹ll keep working to give something to this amazing community." Mekka would like to thank the artists and agents, regional promoters, the media, and the electronic music community for their support through the development of this project. Many artists and management agencies have committed to fulfilling Mekka¹s vision to produce a tour of this magnitude in North America in the summer of 2002. People who have already purchased tickets are advised to return to the point of purchase for full guaranteed refund. # # # Media Contact: Sioux Z Formula PR 212.941.9701 formulapr@earthlink.com

Hmmmm sounds like a possible platform for NYC mayor candidate.

THIS IS WHY IT'S ILLEGALTO DANCE IN MOST PLACES IN NEW YORK CITY The city began a system in Prohibition-era 1926 to control entertainment in clubs. All clubs were required to obtain a cabaret license to operate, which remains a labyrinthine process controlled entirely by the city. It's widely believed that the city was legislating in the view that the origins of jazz music and dancing in black culture were a moral degradation. The law states that an establishment must be licensed if the club features three or more musicians, or if any of the instruments is percussion or brass, or if there is three or more people moving in synchronized fashion. Nightclubs are also restricted in zoning, meaning cabaret licenses are only granted to venues in major commercial centers, industrial or manufacturing districts, effectively making it illegal to dance in any residential area. The permit process is long, costly and uncertain. Approval is required from the Department of Consumer Affairs, the NYC Planning Department, the Fire Department, Buildings Departments and local community boards, among others, all of whom work independently from each other. In the late eighties, after a decade long legal battle, the courts declared the three musician rule unconstitutional and accepted live music in zones where bars and restaurants are permitted. But nothing was done to lift the stigma of dancing. In 1997 Rudy Guiliani created the multi-agency Nightclub Enforcement Task Force to crack down on clubs as part of his "Quality of Life" campaign. Deputy Mayor Rudy Washington goes on the record stating, ""We've been closing down these little buckets of blood (nightclubs) for about three years and paralyzing them." Coney Island High, Baby Jupiter, Hogs & Heifers, Vain, Rivertown Lounge and Lakeside Lounge are just a few of the places that have been fined or padlocked for illegal dancing. A survey by Audience Research and Analysis reports that approximately 24.3 million people come to NYC's music and dance clubs per year, exceeding the combined attendance of Broadway theaters, city sports teams, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Empire State Building-while contributing $2.9 billion to the city's economy and providing over 27,000 jobs. There are currently over 5,000 liquor licenses in the five boroughs but less than 300 places where patrons can legally dance. That's 300 places for 24.3 million people. You are not allowed to dance to the jukebox or DJ at your local bar. You are not allowed to move to the rock band or jazz act at your neighborhood club. Dancing is a right, not some unsafe or dangerous action that need be licensed or regulated by a legislative body. Indeed the act of dancing is simply the physical expression of emotion, which much like verbal expression, need not ever be controlled or limited. This does not mean we don't support strict compliance with all fire safety codes, capacity numbers, noise ordinances, alcohol and drug laws, only that the act of dancing never be restrained in any manner. NYC has made an invaluable contribution to global music culture with its renowned music, musicians, and clubs - from jazz to disco, salsa to house, rock to hip-hop. Dance music culture and nightlife has brought untold millions of dollars to the city and its coffers. It is wrong that the cabaret laws stifle these cultural treasures, inhibit artistic expressions, and discourage the economic development of New York City nightlife. http://onomatopoeik.com http://infornography.org
