hehateme Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 http://www.nypost.com/seven/11172006/gossip/pagesix/crobar_squeeze_pagesix_.htmNovember 17, 2006 -- CROBAR owners Kenny Smith and Cal Fortis may be forced to say goodbye to their West Chelsea nightclub. Page Six hears its financial backers - described as "tough-guy Greeks who wear track suits and flashy jewelry" (including one "real b-buster" ironically called "Little Tommy") - are pulling the plug. Smith and Fortis have two other Crobars, one in Miami and one in Chicago, but our tipster assures us they are "being pushed out" of New York. Crobar did not respond to calls. Sounds like ante and doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piscespoet Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 That would suck, but then again, the report's from Page Six, not the most reliable of sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky13 Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 That would suck, but then again, the report's from Page Six, not the most reliable of sources.I was thinking the same thing. Sounds more like a tabloid type of rumor rather than a story that is backed up by facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piscespoet Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 I know...I work at its rival tabloid paper (the Daily News), so I know most of this shit is made up. I dunno if you read today's paper, but if see that article on OJ's new book, "If I Did It," it says that the publisher promoting this ridiculous book is owned by the Murdoch Corporation. Rupert Murdoch also owns the Post, which controls Page Six. So, he's backing a known murderer, b/c he'll know it'll sell bigtime - sad, but true, considering the general public is pretty ignorant. They sell their souls to sell papers. That's the name of the game in this biz. Hopefully the Crobar thing is a hoax...just the way they describe the prototypical jumpsuit wearin' Greek mafioso tough guy-types alone. It sensationalizes the entire story.

It sensationalizes the entire story.What the hell are you trying to say, either way you slice it, the book is still coming out, no matter who publishes it.You just wrote a paragraph of bullshit, then said "hopefully it's not true"All rumors are based in some sort of fact.

piscespoet Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 If you read the paragraph correctly (or if you can comprehend things like a person of average intelligence)..the first paragraph is comprised of all fact, using comparative analysis, to describe how the publisher who's promoting OJs new book is under the Murdoch corporation. In no way does it insinuate whether or not the book would be published with or without the Murdoch Corporation. I'm making the point of what a money hungry slime ball he is, and that he'll print anything to fill space, relating back to the Page Six Crobar report. That's the job of a tabloid. Some are more respectable than others. No shit that all rumors are based on some type of fact. Half-truths and sort of based on the truth is still not the truth. Rumors are rumors until someone has come forth to confirm or deny a report. Re-read your rebuttals before you submit then Einstein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clinton Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 cmon that club makes big coin on top dj bookings. whoever is running it is not going to end those bookings.and if some djs choose to jump to pacha, hey its happened already on certain nights: howells lawler cox dt etc. even boris now. id like crobar & pacha to stay- competition is good for the marketplace the pg 6 info sounds partial at best; fabricated at worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were use to being the only megaclub on the block and once they got competition everything slowly started going downhill...Not saying I want Crobar shut down, it's definately good to have variety in NYC...but I think everyone saw this coming in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
