abgrover Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 PATRONS BID FAREWELL TO NYC NIGHTCLUB, TWILONew York, New York, June 18, 2001 ... In observance of the recent closing offamed New York City nightclub, Twilo, former patrons will gather outside of530 West 27th Street beginning at 8:00 PM on Thursday June 21, 2001, to saygood-bye and thank-you to the beloved nightclub.During its six years in operation, Twilo was considered the center of theelectronic music movement in the United States. The first to signInternational DJ's as residents, it was a pilgrimage of sorts to club-goersworldwide. In the last year, the nightclub has been engulfed in legalbattles with New York City that ultimately led to the denial of a renewal ofthe nightclub's cabaret license. Twilo patrons believe the City unfairlytargeted Twilo in an attempt to curb New York City nightlife and capitalizeon the sensationalism surrounding the "club drug" ecstasy; throughout theUnited States, established nightclubs are being targeted as havens for druguse and distribution. For six years, Twilo brought together people fromaround the world to the warehouse on West 27th street through appreciationfor music and dance. While Twilo is no more, the community lives on, therecords will keep spinning, and Twilo will go down in the history books,with the likes of Studio 54 and the Pallidium, as a legendary New York Citynightclubs.Twilo's management and staff are not involved in the above-mentioned vigil.All statements made in this release are public and available on the WorldWide Web.

ckayser Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 My local supermarket that I've been shopping at for years is now closing. I think that I'm going to say goodbye to it. It brought me such great memories. The cookies, the cereals, the juice, the fruit that I bought there. The way that the doors opened everytime I walked infront of them. The way that the cashier took my money when I paid for the items. The shopping carts how nice they rolled while I carried a heavy load in the cart. Boy am I going to miss that place.The way that it brought together many people for the love of food and drink. A very sad day will be coming to my life soon.[This message has been edited by lowmazda (edited 06-20-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go places,I interact...(What places?)Certain, clubs. Like, Paradise. It's not bad.It's just that feeling when you can take your shirt off and really dance. When the music owns you.

LavenderMenace Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 OK I kow I'll probably get shit for this but whatever, I loved Twilo.This whole Vigil thing seems a bit over the top.It reminds me of 9th grade when the fat kid who no one liked and everyone made fun of killed himself.suddenly everyone was his best friend and there were about 1000 people @ his funeral. maybe this analogie only makes sense to me but it seems like a similarly fake vibe. I don't know who will show up but I have a feeling it will be cheap and taudry------------------"Life has no instruction manual. Parts and labor can be impossible to find.

stacychase Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I agree that enough is enough.. However for some, they may need additional closure.Oh and I love the fact that you can laugh at yourself. I constantly "trip myself out"... Great feeling!!! Oh and your story brought a tear to my eye.------------------Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward.

ckayser Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 i only laughed in a seperate post because i didnt wanna edit my post again.so I think standing out there is a little too much. There is a reason why Twilo was a target and it wasn't because of all the people that went there and their love of the music. Granted I've had my share of being messed up (i only do e). I've only went to Twilo one time despite all other chances that I could have taken to go. It was not my scene. The music was fine. However, the amount of k-heads that were running/crawling into the speakers in the back corner where i was dancing was insane. I can understand there is really no place to hide, but it doesn't justify bumpin IN the speaker!That club and most of the other clubs in this city are full of drugs. Hate to break it to someone who is a non-believer but some people actually think that it's wrong to take drugs. They want they element out of their community. This was isnt the clubs fault at all. It's the people that don't know their limits. anyway. RIP twilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
