Big Fridays @ Roxy with DJ Boris in Winter 1999. By far and away my best clubbing memory. I was still in college and had all the spare time to recover from those rough nights ;-) Days long gone by...

Voelke44, you are right on the money. Yes! EXCELLENT DEFINITION.

>Buy or Sell We All Go To Hell reads the sign. ANd we did. We >forced a club owner to search for a different crowd for his >venue. We lost our place, and the era is over. How sad - but true. I agree with everything you wrote. The reckless crowd killed JP's time at the Factory. There is no one else to blame. RIP to a great residency.

muzikchick and boywondernyc, Both of you are on point and I agree 100%. Hate is wrong. NYC is built on diversity. Gay, Straights...whatever. I could care less who I party with - I'm there for the VIBE. To see homophobic remarks flowing so freely from the reactionary JP fans is disheartening. His board monitors should remove the posts, and JP himself should step up and post a message denouncing such behavior on his site. Increase the peace.

wallflour, good post. The next 6-12 months in NYC nightlife are going to be VERY interesting to say the least.

All things in life are cyclical and what's goes up must come down. NYC was at its peak in the 90s and lost its luster post 2000. Its been down for a while, but this is NYC - it will bounce back, eventually. And then I will come out of my self-imposed retirement and make a comeback ;-)
