Donnie Klang from Making the Band was there interviewing people and asking questions. Wale did a live performance which you can see here: I started [...]

Pink Elephant Loses Its Name & Celebrity Sightings

Pink Elephant was apparently off the chain last night - a long line up of celebs there for Sean Pecas’ birthday (he works for Def Jam and is close with JayZ and Fabulous). Other celebs included Mariah Carey, Clive Owen, Fabulous, Rick Ross, Nick Cannon, and a few more. I can’t even imagine how packed [...]

More Than a Game

So last night, Tuesday, turned out pretty sick, mainly because I got some video footage of LeBron James (the guest I couldn’t dish on last night) entering Marquee red carpet style. Mary J Blige was there as well (photo in previous post). LeBron, well, he’s huge and tall. He arrived at 12:30am with an entourage [...]

Celebrity Guests at Tenjune, Marquee, Small Lounges to Check Out & the Hottest Club Right Now

So last night (Tuesday), Sean Kingston was supposed to be performing at Tenjune. So don’t lose faith in Tenjune just because of the owner’s new club project Simyone. Tenjune still has some energy left in it. Marquee was having a much bigger celebrity. I wanted to tell people early on who it was, but the managers [...]

Holy Experiences and Puppets

So the modern world and I broke up for two weeks this summer. Those weeks in August when I was MIA? I was in India with no phone, no twitter, tumblr, internet or facebook. It was GREAT. Since my return, I’ve been doing what other people call “processing” the trip in the hopes of being able [...]

Dinner with Side of Karolina Kurkova

I go to West Village restaurant Bobo last night where I’m sitting next to my friend, both of us facing out. Our table-for-two is adjacent to a table-for-four occupied by two glam couples, and the girl seated in the direction facing me is oddly familiar. How I ended up at a hidden, pricey, townhouse restaurant [...]

Bumping into Batali

Last night, my girlfriend and I stood on the corner of 17th and Irving arguing about whether we’d have better success picking up non-douchey men who didn’t frequent clubs at The W or at 3rd Avenue bars. Unexpectedly, the tables turned and we found ourselves being picked up by a group of boisterous [...]

Pondering Paris

I was bouncing around pretending to drink, attempting to navigate another Saturday night out at Lily Pond in East Hampton when a girl from my house intentionally bumped her head into mine to whisper: “Have you seen her? Paris Hilton’s here.” My first reaction to a comment like this is always silently negative, “Great, now we have [...]

Checking Out Tenjune with Kanye West?!

Tenjune is one of those clubs I’ve always resisted getting intimate with, hanging out there a handful of times but always in passing. For some unknown reason, my friends have always framed the idea as: “Let’s swing by Tenjune,” as opposed to, “Let’s spend the night at Tenjune.” I wrote about my mild dislike of the place [...]

Nightlife Paradox: You Can’t Sell Liquor, by That I Mean You Can Only Sell Mass Quantities

Wednesday night Upstairs, the exclusive SoHo club and location of much debauchery like dollar bill tossing, was raided by the cops. Old news. The charges had something to do with liquor license violations and a legal problem with the sound system. All I focused on was trying to hide my inherent panic: Where would I [...]
