  1. Something to add to the clubbing expenses... the price of pissing (reminds me of public toilets that I've been to in other countries) anyhow... Do you tip them every time you use the facilities (and they give you soap and towels)? If not, then how often? Also, how much do you give each time? Do you prefer their presence or not?
  2. I've read many articles saying that Green himself lost the election And from what I've seen... 1. Soon after 9/11, he said that this was not the time for traditional politics, instead serious discussion about how to rebuild NYC needed to take place. So it was kinda tragic that closer to Election Day, he participated in this smearing campaign. Either that, or his campaign staff majorly screwed up somewhere in not keeping to that. 2. It was also a heartbreaker to see that Bloomberg ad that showed Green saying that he would done have a job "as good as, or better, than Giuliani" Even if that statement was taken out of context, it was bad to even suggest that kind of comparison with someone who is so highly regarded. It's one thing to be confident, but that sounded more like boasting 3. It was also a mistake to talk about how much Bloomberg was spending. Being rich doesn't necessarily make one a better candidate, even though you should respect someone who's been able to generate so much money. But anways... if money was all that mattered, then we would have had Ross Perot as President.
  3. Bloomberg used to be a Democrat until about a year ago Some say that it was a simply a change of convenience, to give him a better chance to win Here's what Rush Limbaugh had to say about him: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_110701/content/stack_b.guest.html I've heard that hispanics and blacks who would have otherwise voted Democrat were alienated because of all that happened between Green and Ferrer, and as a result, didn't vote. Does anyone have voter turnout numbers for those groups? Also, as for Green, maybe having Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy at his side wasn't a great idea, especially when talking about Bloomberg committing sexual harrassment. btw, here's an recent event regarding Der Schlickmeister: http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20011108-470100.htm If you're truly concerned about Bloomberg affecting the survival of the clubs, then write letters to him, to other city officials, and to the newspapers. Convince them all that keeping them open will be better for the city, and how so. But I think we're going to have to show them that we're giving up the drugs.
  4. For someone very well known... http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2001/11/5/164607 Warm up those kneepads! Or do you think he might prefer hiring males this time?
  5. If you're able to (i.e. registered), be represented and vote! If you're in NYC or NJ, there are important elections this year. Let us know who you picked!
  6. If you haven't already heard http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0111060316nov06.story?coll=chi%2Dnews%2Dhed 7 knives, a taser, mace! Found at three different checkpoints!
  7. http://www.ny1.com/Election/index.html
  8. For those in NYC (the 5 boroughs), details are available at http://www.nyc.gov Inside NYC, call 1-866-VOTE-NYC Outside, call 212-VOTE-NYC I don't see much info for NJ, but maybe you can find something here: http://www.state.nj.us/lps/elections/electionshome.html or perhaps you've already received something in the mail with that info.
  9. If you've registered to vote, you gotta do your duty as a citizen of democracy! If you're in NYC or NJ, this year's election is pretty important. I'm wondering: 1. For those in NYC, is anyone who would have otherwise voted for Mark Green for nightlife issues (if he's serious and sincere about them), changing their minds? btw, in politics, money usually talks, so if he's elected, maybe we should fund some kind of lobbyist group for nightlife... but I'll say that's another issue for another day 2. For those in NJ, I've heard a lot more about Schundler and his plans. Does McGreevey have any particular strengths to consider?
  10. This is... um... interesting Apparently they believe it's never too early http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/33193.htm
  11. Anyone going to Glow in DC on Saturday to see Armin van Buuren ? Even though I've never traveled for hours just to see a Dj, it's tempting to change that now... however, I have a feeling that he'll come to NY some time soon, and when that happens I hope I'll be around to catch
  12. Amazing how they can come back two nights in a row, in almost the exact same way!
  13. If I remember correctly, it's across the street (and a little over) from Grand Central Station
  14. Even though it was only 2 hours long, Seb Fontaine's set was faaaantastic!
  15. This Tuesday! Finally here's your chance to make a difference... If you're in NYC, vote for mayor If you're in NJ, vote for governor So if you live in either of those areas, who will be your pick?
  16. At Yankee Stadium... But I wonder... do you think he'll be cheered more, or booed more? Didn't he once say that his favorite team is any team other than the Yankees (which probably goes back to when he owned the Texas Rangers) ?
  17. Max was magnificent! Graham was great!
  18. On A&E... sounds like this is a replay... has anyone seen earlier airings of this? From tv.yahoo.com: ARTS 16 Oct 26 09:00pm Add to My Calendar Series/Drama, 120 Mins. "In Their Own Words" In an unscripted episode, the cast honors emergency personnel working at the site of the destroyed World Trade Center in New York.
  19. anyone going? Anyone got a list?
  20. That was the report I got from DaVe when I saw him at Filter 14 last night (Thursday). He stopped at Gaslight after Eugene and before F14 (damn, what an animal ) Had anyone else heard? Can anyone else confirm?
  21. November 3 at GLOW according to his site Anyone up for a road trip?
  22. It is a delicate situation on both sides. If we don't buy their oil, then who's gonna buy it? If no one buys it, then what good is it to them? And Saudi Arabia has a huge debt So I hope the Saudis know better than to not cooperate with us
  23. Buy another item with it on BN.com and get free shipping If you're in Manhattan and order early enough, you can get it same day! I'm putting that to the test as I ordered No Spin Zone this morning.
  24. I've seen flyers, but why is it not mentioned on CF's site? Same for Carl Cox, who is (or was) scheduled to play in mid-Nov
  25. Who's gonna go see it? Who's gonna be in it? A word to the wise for those who haven't seen but it plan to be: Allow lots of time for crossing 6th Ave, or better yet, try to avoid doing so during the parade ! Last year when I did that crossing, I felt like I was in the middle of a stampede
