spirit shut down

August 26, 2006 -- Cops shut down the club Spirit last night - one of the beleaguered clubs on the wild row of West 27th Street between 10th and 11th avenues.
The order came as a result of a police initiative that began shortly after 18-year-old Jennifer Moore was raped and murdered on July 25 following a night of drinking at Guest House, a few doors away from Spirit at 530 W. 27th St.

Since then, cops have caught three underage drinkers inside Spirit, witnessed others smoking pot, as well as drug sales.

Fifty people were inside Spirit when cops raided it at 10:30 p.m., but scores were left waiting outside.

A lawyer for Spirit, which also was shut down March, 31 along with six other clubs, had no doubt the club would once again reopen.

"I am extremely confident that once all the facts are presented to the judge, we will be immediately reopened," said lawyer Albert Santoro.

lol i love wat the lawyer says i wish him the best of luck with all that evidence

Police close Spirit nightclub for drug, alcohol violations
Associated Press
Saturday Aug 26, 2006

A nightclub on a Manhattan stretch popular with the gay community has been closed by authorities for repeated alcohol and drug violations, police said.

Acting on a court order, police said they closed Spirit nightclub Friday evening at about 10 p.m. The shutdown came midway through the all-male revue "Hunk-O-Mania," according to a schedule posted on Citysearch.

The venue is on the same block in western Chelsea as the nightclub Guest House - where a New Jersey teenager went drinking and partying last month before she was beaten and strangled. The death of 18-year-old Jennifer Moore has heightened concerns about underage drinking and safety in the area.

Police have said that the block, 27th Street between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, houses a complex of clubs that has become a magnet for drug-dealing, assaults and robberies.

Spirit had been under observation by the New York Police Department since it was closed for about a week in March for drug incidents and underage drinking, police said. Since then, police say they have observed marijuana being smoked openly in the club, and they have seen alcohol sold to underage patrons.

Authorities have also made four arrests for the use and sale of cocaine and ecstasy, police said.

The NYPD requested the club’s closure for the repeated violations, and the venue was to remain shuttered pending a court hearing, police said.

A message left on the club’s answering machine was not immediately returned early Saturday.

Thanks, I was just curious how this'll affect the other clubs. I haven't heard of much EDM going on at Spirit lately, but wasn't sure.

I took this shot before the Markus & Dekay event that night.. I wasn't going to post it, but the opportunity showed itself.
Those girls were desperate
