WOW. That place was awesome. Bringz back some good memories.

Design-wise, that had to be one of the coolest clubs i've ever been to. Remember the set-up? Walk up in the place like you are walking into a movie theatre. It had the large main auditorium, with the encircling rafters, the bathrooms all the way downstairs and the huge stage up front.

I first went to that place back in 1995. I used to go on Fridays for hip-hop and then on Sat for the dance party. I remember meeting Foxy Brown and Biggie Smalls there one nite.

Brings a tear to my eye whenever i pass by that spot on 14th st.

peace

The firt time I tried to get in I just passed 13. I stood about a block away from the club trying to get the nerve to go up to the H.U.G.E. bouncer at the door with my fake I.D. After two hours, and many hoochy gals passing by my nose, I strolled up to the bouncer with my sidekick Luis. We were denied, and life ended for a few weeks. Then I got in touch (again) with the person who fucked my life over, and BOOM, we were chillin in Palladium, barely able to see straight cause we downed gallons of vodka and puffed trees like it was oxygen. I don't remember much back then...I remember the really bad shit that happened, not too much about the music. I wasn't really about the music back then. I was about the trees and titties...straight and simple...but hey, I was 13 wink.gif Saint!!!

Palladium was sick! I remember working an eye contact relationship with Aphrodita so I'd get vip'd in without a girl while 80 jerkoffs were pushing up on the rope trying to look good. Has anyone seen her lately? The last time I saw her was a few months ago at Twilo.

the memories that place brings back...it was the most beautiful club new york has seen in our generation...there were so things that made that place the best...the steps, so many places to lounge, the dance floor that was not segregated by poles...lighting system that was amazing...my 2 fav. parties were the parties with Charlie Cassanove w/MC Romeo....and of course ArenA

Ahhh...

Palladium!!!

I went there '93-'95. Does anyone remember the Bliss Parties? Rob Gee in the boiler room? Bump after Bump!!! I don't even remember who spun there then. I was too much into the party favors. I just knew the music was Off Da Hook!!

Limelight was and still is my favorite club.

The new party is bringing back some Old-Skool Vibes. Especially with Corbett, Michael Francis and Myself running Shit.

Keep it Real cool.gif
