asianvixen Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 this is a repost from another board. the article comes from the village voice:Fly Life Column by Tricia Romano It looks like Vinyl is set to get a makeover, complete with a name change, a Phazon sound system, and, possibly, new management or ownership. The folks behind the Saturday night Made parties are reportedly taking over the dry space, and renaming it Arc (a nod to the way the sound system is going to be hung from the rafters, I'm told). Joked a friend: "What, are they gonna have DJ Noah spin and have special admission prices for couples?" One of the men behind the "new" club is none other than Mike Bindra—once responsible for managing and booking of the now-defunct Twilo. Because Bindra and Arc representatives didn't return repeated calls and e-mails, the exact level of his involvement could not be determined, though Warren Pesetsky—the lawyer for the building's owners—had never heard of Bindra and said that Bindra is "definitely not a principal." Www.arcspace.net indicates that Danny Tenaglia's Be Yourself Friday night party will continue, as will the legendary Sunday afternoon jam Body & Soul. Word to the wise: If you are going to proclaim you're a "new" club, please do more than change the name and throw in a banging sound system, а la Shelter/Speeed. According to my sources, Bindra and his peeps have already made some minor adjustments, including taking out the stage and platform on the left side of the room. They also reportedly plan on knocking out the wall on the right side, to make the dancefloor wider. Based on Vinyl's closing date (June 15 with Max Graham) and Arc's "grand opening" (June 22 with Deep Dish), the changes are likely to be relatively minor. But, even in the event that the club does undergo a more complete renovation, don't expect to get liquored up there any time soon. Community Board 1 recommended 37-0 that the State Liquor Authority deny the Rohr Bros.' most recent request to serve beer and wine, citing the club as a "site for shootings and drug dealing in addition to the usual litany of rowdiness, public urination, noise. . . . " Pesetsky, who attended the April meeting, said he didn't bother to address the Board, because he knew "it was a foregone conclusion that they would deny us." As recently reported by the New York Times, Tribeca is the richest real estate area in the city, something that was driven home by the Board's Assistant District Manager, Judy Duffy, who pointed out that Robert De Niro lives in the area as does a bevy of celebs and their families, including Calvin Klein's daughter. "It's not the old Tribeca," said Duffy. "It's become a predominantly residential neighborhood." Of course, the SLA doesn't have to follow the Board's recommendation, either. But with Bindra now tied to the club, it's unlikely the SLA will find his Twilo resume impressive. Said one source: "You saw what they did at the Crobar community board meeting. They turned 'Twilo' into a dirty word." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice, maybe people will drink instead of doing drugs. As long as admission price doesn't go up i'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asianvixen Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 Originally posted by bigpoppanils just because the community board voted against them gettting a liscence, it doesnt mean that it wont happen. its up to the state, not the neighborhood true, but anytime before the sla makes a decision to grant a liquor license, it offers the local community board the chance to give input since they are the one's that will have to deal with the effects of the decision. with overwhelming opposition from a powerful community (plus bindra's involvement) just makes much less likely that they will get the license. we will see.
