I, for one, find these threads quite entertaining. I get a kick out of reading them with my morning coffee. Keep it going!

These past Jr's World are much better than some old ones I had downloaded. Maybe that's because Junior is actually mixing now instead of Jerome. Now I understand why I found many of these Jr's world to be dull and sub-par!! Thank god Jerome is out...

The big fall out between Kevin Aviance and Junior Vasquez last year had a lot to do with Jerome, as Kevin mentioned it publicly on Jonny McGovern's podcast. Now the question is: if Jerome is obviously such a terrible manager, why does Junior stick with him???

Hiro is ruling the gay nightlife on Sundays. It is a great party in a beautiful and big venue. All the gay kids go there, and it is packed weeks after weeks. That "Room Service" party seems like an ill guided attempt which I don't expect to last very long!

Yes. Work is a great club and the parties are consistently excellent. Junior burned his bridge the one and only time he played there when the club opened, on Thanksgiving Eve 2006. Now that Peter Rauhofer is in charge of the place, I doubt Junior will ever be invited to play there!

Indeed, this is pathetic and frustrating. Not to mention that stupid website that still hasnt launched after 4 months. I don't know why they are doing everything to fuck up whats left of his career. Is it that hard to pull off a decent house music party?

Sol last night was horrible. Junior played some electroish house all night. If that's his "new generation sound", then I'm definitely not part of it. Crowd was sparse and a weird mix of die hard, freaky junior heads (like that girl who spent an hour rocking back and forth on a sofa like she was having an eplileptic attack, holding a teddy bear in her hand, and who was later spotted rolling joints on the dance floor), and dismayed clubbers who were lingering around the dancefloor. They even had 2 go-go girls up dancing above the dancefloor for 5 minutes. Such a disgrace! How did junior let that happen. The music was mindless electro loops, over repetitive beats. He dropped his new mix of "Piece of Me" to an almost empty room around 3. It was totally anti-climatic. The "visual stimulation" were boring computer generated animations that looked liked a bad windows screensaver. They did make the effort to bring in some additional sound equipment, but because of the poor acoustic of the room, the music didnt even sound sharp and crisp. I'm very disappointed with his New Year's day party, and embarrassed I dragged my friend there to start the year.

Yes, the turnout was disappointing. Strangely enough, more people started coming in after 2:30. I would say there were about 100 people in at peak time. The music was good, but the set sounded very much like what he played for Halloween. Overall, a forgettable party. Thats too bad, because I really love the space. I hope his next gig will draw more people in. And we never get to watch any suprise "half-time" performance.

Because it is a party that celebrates the black element that was at the origin of house music. It is organized by a black DJ, and the name is meant to be a provocative statement used in an empowering way... as in: "if you don't like my music, my drums, my drag queens, my culture and my people... well you can Kiss My Black Ass" you got it know?

What an amazing party. DJ Quentin Harris was on point. They featured tons of shows and live performances. The vibe was amazing. I urge you to check out their next party. http://www.queenofnewyork.com/club/kiss_my_black_ass/video/-5522008982843491080 http://www.queenofnewyork.com/club/kiss_my_black_ass/video/-6217934084505553987 http://www.queenofnewyork.com/club/kiss_my_black_ass/video/6692587332341026926 http://www.queenofnewyork.com/club/kiss_my_black_ass/video/8118981796203298940 Lothaire

Now thats what I call a flip-flop !! lol

I'm not offended, I'm thrilled! Go ahead and spread the message... ! Danceshake - I recognize your editorial discretionary rights... It's just that I'm trying to build some traffic and ranking for my site. So, it is always better for me to see links towards my proprietary content rather than just youtube ;-) Besides, the clip from Sol on my site is much better than the one from youtube, IMHO!

Thanks Starscream! Danceshake - I appreciate that you are relaying my contribution to other messageboards, but I would rather you quote my whole post and include the full the reference to my personal site where I post longer videos and picture galleries! Lothaire

Hi, What an amazing party Peter and the John Blair crew gave us last saturday. I will miss this club very much. Check out my picture gallery of the Roxy: http://www.queenofnewyork.com/club/roxy/gallery/page-13/ I have almost 1h. of video clips that I will post on google videos as soon as they fix the video uploader.

yes... the place was dead, sadly. And I paid $25 to get in. I had to run to Pacha to salvage my night out and had a great time at JP's birthday bash.

By the way - Whatever Happened to STEREO NY ? I read rave reviews about the opening. I went a few days later for Junrio's horrendous part there, and since then, never heard anything about it. What has been happening over there ?

Great space, awful set. His music ahd no flow: he went from throwing a twilo classic (his mix Angel Moares "The cure") to cutting into some obscure electroish filler tracks. I kept hoping he would find his groove, but it never happened. Junior is so inconsistent, it is very frustrating...

Krash is the best party in town ! http://www.queenofnewyork.com/video/play.php?stream=Krash_Bday http://www.queenofnewyork.com/video/play.php?stream=krash

I found this fairly amusing article on a webpage. Check it out (scroll down to the article #3, or read below) ... http://www.djrecess.co.uk/extrastuff.html

Do you know if it will be $25 at the door too ? I went for the Underwear party and the club robbed me with its insane door and bar prices for a pretty lackluster night. And the website that sells the ticket takes another hefty fee on top of the ticket price.

I was blown away last night... by the price of the drinks at the bar. $15 for a vodka-redbull. This has to be the most I have paid for a drink in a club. And to add to my frustration, as I was starting to sip on my 3rd drink and get some relief from the tropical heat that was plagueing the club, some guy started to burst into some weird ass guido dance, shoved me and knocked my drink down. Other than that - JP was a little up and down. He started tribal, then went into some ugly filtered techno shit around 4 am. He was begining to get back to tribal and sound a little better and then, the fuse blew up. The crowd was interesting to watch - from an anthropological stand point, that is !
