Damm! Roxy now has to close at


Recommended Posts

what happened?

ABOUT ROXY - SATURDAY, 10/29/05:

We have received countless e-mails about Roxy closing it's doors at 4am

this past Saturday, October 29.

We are as upset as many of your were.

Roxy was closed down by the police dept. on FRIDAY, Oct. 28th at 10pm.

As it happened with Park and Lotus, the Police dept. had been sending

undercover underage people to buy drinks.

Most of the time they did not succeed but a few times they did.

The "Nuisance and Abatement" law gives them jurisdiction that enables

them to close you down at any moment if you have 2 or more of these

violations.

Roxy was able to get a Supreme Court Judge on Saturday, October 29th to

counter that action by the police and allow us to open Saturday night, a

miracle in itself. We did not know until late afternoon that we would even

be open for the night.

We were told that we could not allow anyone under 21, or anyone without

a valid government issued ID to enter the club, and that door would have

to be closed at 4am. Shortly after, we sent you all an e-mail stating that

we were open and that it was 21 and older.

Much later into the night, we were told that "door closed" meant lights on

and EVERYBODY out of the building. Unfortunately it was way too late to

do anything about it.

This whole situation forced us to let 2000 people out the door at the

same time, which we considered unsafe and totally illogical. Coat check

was overloaded with patrons trying to get their coats at the same time

and, by having everybody leave the building at the same time, we caused

unnecessary noise and inconvenience to our neighbors and patrons.

We are told that The Police Department wants all clubs in the area to be

21 and over and to be closed at 4am.

We look forward to meeting this week with the police and our attorneys

and hopefully find a common ground that will be good for all.

Again, we're terribly sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused

you.

We have received a lot of emails asking why this happened, so there it is.

We moved heaven and earth to be open and have a great party. It was

indeed a great party!

Unfortunately, not everything turned out the way we planned.

We will keep you informed as to how things progress.

Your support is greatly appreciated

Sincerely,

John Blair.

This will be the norm when bloomberg gets elected again. The final good bye to anything fun in NYC

but bloomberg hasn't really focused on shutting down clubs and shit ,

i could be wrong ..

i feel as though NYC nightlife has been fine for the last few years, with him as mayor,

maybe just cause it is a election year, that things get shaken up to show the city is doing things
