I so a preview for the Limelight movie about peter gaitan and it brought back so many good (and bad) memories of some of the craziest best times of my life in the club scene in NYC in the late 90's.. 97-99 was my hay day... Sound Factory or Limelight every friday night, Tunnel every saterday night (sunday morning) and depending how good the E was twilo at 9 AM sunday morning for some Junior vasquez..
The first NYC club i went to was Pladdium when i was 16 in 96 and they closed shortly after but then Tunnel with Danny Tenaglia was the spot for me on sunday morning.. I remember me and my crew would roll in at 4AM because that is when the drunk idiots went home and then it was all about the music and substance.. I know i killed alot of brain cells and might have did something to my healt with all the E and K that was taken but I do not regret one moment of it!!
I saw thing in those clubs that people would not belive and also did some stuff that I don't belive but it was all in good fun and have some great memories..
ELEMENTS...
Any old school club headz in the rolex community?
I hav not been in a mega club in years after Gaiten got deported and tunnle closed, limelight turned to avalon and now a mall.. Last super clubs I been to was Crowbar and Exit before that but always wanted to check out the old Sound factory .. Pacha but can not stay awake passed 11 now and do not put any chemicals in my body so I could no do it anymore.. But anyone remember those days.. or am I trippin alone??

Your spelling and grammar would indicate that you did indeed, kill quite a few brain cells. Congrats!

I was a Paradise Garage man in the 80's. To this day no sound system can match what they had, didn't hurt that Larry Levan was the DJ either.

Well, fine sir, I suspect that you be trippin alone. But it was a very interesting thread to read.

I'm going to let this one continue (against my better judgement!), as long as the thread sticks to the clubs and time period already mentioned....

So most people are the studio 54 bunch..
I guess younger people do not appreciate high end timepieces..

azguy · 20 February 2012, 12:23 AM

I was in the Limelight a 100x's in the late 90's, the Tunnel too. The Limelight was cool being in an old church and all...it was a target rich environment, for sure

Nope, most yngr people seem to rely on their smart phones/PDA's. As a result I think most young people look at fine wristwatches as clunky, ugly bling jewelry....just look at the low wend watches worn bry the few that do wear them...

Absolutely! The Tunnel was my fav. Right next to the Holland tunnel. Very convenient for an ex-NJ guy living in no. Jersey at the time! Palladium was my #2, then comes Limelight, followed by Red Zone.

dalip · 20 February 2012, 03:36 AM

No-one's going to lock this thread as long as there is no posting concerning illicit drugs. Simple. There was some ill advised mention in the first post but the message seems to have been understood since then.

In any case I'm sure members are mature enough to realize that getting into that across the Internet would be foolish. As well as the obvious legal implications we will only get into the related arguments and that'd just be tiresome and end badly.

Discussing / reminiscing about clubbing days is fine as a topic.

Stonedcl · 20 February 2012, 04:01 AM

Did any of you ex club headz watch the limelight movie yet ?
The movie was wrote by Gaitens daughter. He also opened a club in Toronto CiRca that has since closed..!
I went to the limelight mall a few months ago and what a waste of great space!!!

Well I'm young and I prefer a fine timepiece (or a quartz watch) to a phone's clock, just saying.

I'm not a "clubber" (as they call it) though. I like to go out and have a few drinks with friends from times to times but I prefer to relax at home.

I was a club fiend in San Francisco during a decent portion of the 90s, but never made it out to NYC then.

I m in my late 20's and when I was single I was at gay clubs in NYC/NJ every weekend. My partner and I still visit places like Therapy and Posh in Hells Kitchen. Sometimes we go to Splash which pretty much has the same people in it as Paradise in Asbury Park where I met my partner.

She did some research and started wearing the shirst and she would get stopped all the time and people would ask about the shrts and if she was from NY and where they could by one.

She's long gong....I miss that shirt
