Pride Weekend Brings Night Club Raids

quote:
Originally posted by Steve Weinstein

On Friday, June 27, tens of thousands of men were pouring out onto the streets of Manhattan from all over the country expecting a citywide party. The last weekend in June is not only a celebration of Gay Pride, but also a lucrative weekend-long festival of gay dance events. But this year, something else happened.

The City of New York, which has been cracking down hard on gay sex venues, moved in with a vengeance on nightclubs. Splash was reportedly overrun by police, although no one from the city or the club returned calls for comment. The club has, however, remained open.

The other club was shut down. Pacha, the megaclub on the western edge of Hell’s Kitchen, was scheduled to hold two major dance parties for Gay Pride: Victor Calderone’s Pride Evolve on Saturday; and the Saint at Large’s Champions on Sunday night.

Champions has been moved to Capitale, a large space on the border of the Lower East Side and Chinatown where Saint at Large has held parties in the past. Mike Peyton, of the Saint at Large, said that anyone with a ticket for Pacha party should simply show up at Capitale, which is the Bowery a few blocks above Canal Street, and the ticket will be honored.

Moving the party has cost the Saint at Large probably much, if not most, of the proceeds, which were to go to Heritage of Pride, the organization that runs the march down Fifth Avenue.

A notice at Pacha gave the following information for the club shutdown. There has been surveillance of the club since Aug. 11, 2007. Since that time, the warrent said, there have been drugs bought that included Ecstasy in various quantities for about $20 per pill; cocaine, up to as much as $750 worth; marijuana; and "alleged" ketamine (which could mean it was sold as Special K, but might have been a substitute).

The warrant cited drug buys within the cub on dates from August 2007 into June 2008, but the big drug buys only started occurring around December of last year.

The club remains closed as of this writing. According to some reports, Marquee, a straight club on the "club strip" in West Chelsea, was also shut down by authorities. But many people, both New Yorkers and out-of-towners, are wondering about the timing of these incidents on the biggest all-gay weekend of the year.

OK first off, i dont see how nightlife in new york city will ever die out.. I mean, come on here folks. A few of the people posting in this thread act like 'the scene' is gonna die cause of a few raids... ok. if there's money to be made, then money will be made. the state makes money from taxes, the clubs make money from revenues, the DJ's promoters and workers just get paid. Lets not go nuts here

second off... Pacha is NOT that bad of a club. In fact, its not a bad club period. its great. I dont understand what you 'club snobs' are talking about here? Pacha brings in tons of great talent all the time, yet you complain because what, it gets too crowded?? well thats what happens when talent comes to town, lots of people want to see it live. I mean jesus, some of the people here on TA act like the club should belong to them and they should be able to say who comes and goes. If you want that to be the case, then rent the club out. otherwise, shut up, pay your money, and enjoy yourself, instead of spending time bitching about FOB's and guido's. get over yourself.

third... I got no problem going to Pacha, Mansion, Love, or anywhere for that matter. As long as I'm making best of any situation im in, then i'm happy.

Some of ya'll need to stop being so negative. be glad Pacha is there to bring in talent, like I said before. or how bout this... if you're so awesome... then go to boston or DC for nightlife. When I'm at school in Syracuse, and I want to see a good DJ, i drive to NYC for the night, then drive home after the club... i dont stay in Syracuse and bitch about it. I get off my ass and do something.

come on people. sometimes the comments I read on here are just ridiculous, although VERY entertaining... thats my opinion. love or hate it, you just read it.

Pacha aint a bad club, it's just a minority of people that frequent the place that ruin it. Plus, I used to prefer 'Sound Factory'..

What worries Me now is that all the dick heads from Pacha are gonna try seek a new venue. Hopefully they'll choose 'Mansion' and 'WH' and not Love, Rebel and Sully etc..
