ECers Rock. I would also venture to say ECers a bit looser and bit more fun than your average Hedge Fund Harry.

Plus, even if you are a Hedge-Fund Harry YOU DON"T WANT TO HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF!

YOU WANT TO HANG WITH COOL PEOPLE IN INTERESTING LINES OF WORK WHO HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF DRINKING VEUVE CLICQUOT OUT OF KYLIE BAX'S NAVEL BEFORE THE END OF ANY GIVEN EVENING!


So there.

 

lmao good one!

I am just a newbie..thus I asked. Just learning man.

 

I assumed you would know that it was a magnum of Veuve Cliquot La Grande Dame...Not yellow label.

Cristal or Dom is for 3-rd string ball players with studios that have black pleather couches and leased M3s.

 

I'd not touch Don L. to scratch him.

Hubert who cares: It's all deductible. These aren't leases as much as they are equity secured balloon notes for non-capitalized business expenses based on a fixed depreciating asset. I'd never pay for a car -- it's just gonna depreciate. Finance that sukka and keep the $$ in your pocket at the end of the year...

 

Spot on Brother...

 

FWERRFF!

 

you got me!

I thought it went without saying that you guys wouldn't be caught dead with Yellow Label Veuve.

 

All kidding aside, I prefer Perrie-Jouet.

 

what 3rd string ball players have leased m3s? Are we talking about the knicks?

Cuz even on the weak coast, the housekeepers are rolling in M3s. Third string ballers are doing much better.

 

"After the second glass....It all tastes like 7-up."

 

Hey! I was the one that said bottle service is a joke. I can get you a bottle of Grande Dame for $120...Delivered..

 

LOL, was thinking the same thing...

 

Sprite. Yeah, gots to go that way on that...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<" It's all about the money
Last night, I attended a panel discussion on the state of New York nightlife. It was put together by David Hershkovits, the co-founder of Paper Magazine who just put out a book with his partner Kim Hastreiter, 20 Years of Style: The World According to PAPER. The panel members were Chi Chi Valenti (Jackie 60, Mother, Jackie Factory), Steven Lewis (who used to promote clubs like Danceteria, World, Palace De Beaute, Palladium, Tunnel and Limelight and now designs celeb-bottle-service-beasts like Butter, Spa, Marquee and Plaid), David Rabin (owns Lotus and is on the NY Nightlife Association), Richie Rich (club kid, former ice skater), Serge Becker (Joe's Pub, Volume--sniff), Theo Kogan (ex-Lunachick runs the panty parties on Saturdays at Opaline, and who I realize I saw at the Park Slope Beacon's Closet a while ago--she's beautiful).
Whew, anyway, so these people got together to discuss the state of New York nightlife, which arguably says a lot about the state of the city's nightlife without anybody opening their mouths. It all came back to money and how creativity and money don't go hand-in-hand anymore, at least not in New York. Which I found sad and a little inspiring. I'm all for capitalism, but it would be nice to see someone do something not motivated out of sheer greed. The question doesn't seem to be "Can we make enough money off this to support ourselves?" but "How much money can we make off this?" Most of the people running the clubs today are people who do it solely to make money (although they probably have a teeny bit of hubris involved as well and not to do anything for the scene. Steven Lewis said he was outside Marquee the other night and they wouldn't let this one guy in until he had agreed to buy 7 bottles! At $300ish dollars a bottle, he had to put down at least $2,100--do you still tip 20% on bottles?--before they'd even let him into the club. Now, this guy could have been a total dweeb, but if that's what nightlife has come to ...
I suppose one way to look at it is that we've got them all cordoned off--all the people willing to sell their souls for a touch of nightlife that doesn't even sparkle. So the rest of us should have plenty of space to enjoy something truly dramatic, creative, mind-bending, awe-inspiring without all that crap.

So where do we go from here?">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

Having been married for nine years and with two little kids, I haven't been in the scene for quite awhile. However I do remember having a major blowout
with the manager of Stringfellow's gentleman's club years ago. I hosted my brother's bachelor party there. We had about eight guys, spared no expense, steak, cigars, champagne, cognac, many,many table dances at 20 bucks a-pop, the whole shebang. I probably dropped $3,500 that night and was happy to do so. What infuriated me (and still does to this day) is looking over the bill and seeing "cover charge-$30.00 per person". According to management, even if you spend multiple thousands of dollars for dinner you still have to bend over just...a ...little bit...farther so we can rape you with a penny-ante cover charge. Prick manager wouldn't even waive it so we stormed out. Years later when I heard Guiliani shut the place down I couldn't help but laugh!

 

Perfect example of being "penny wise, pound foolish."

 

Heard that some got stuck with the drink bill again, can't believe a year later nothing has changed... Let this B a Public SerViCe ReMinDer To ALL, MOds INcluded.

Bottom Line: jUSt sAy NO 2 rEMorAs !
