This was taken by my friend DJ Glenn B at the 6 yr anniversary. He opened for Digweed & Tenaglia. Historical night, tremendous. Diggers & Tenaglia were tag teaming for an hour. That was my last time at Twilo. :( April 14, the night after PVD's 2 yr anniversary.
I danced under that beautiful ball for the past 4 yrs & now its officially ovah. 4 yrs of amazing memories. Twilo was more than just a club it was my 2nd home & my life. I've been in denial for the past 6 wks, thinking it would reopen after the court date June 21st.
Recently, the cabaret license was revoked & now the disco ball is on ebay. It's up to $1,500. This is a HUGE loss to the NYC club community. Twilo is a legend, world renouned, on the forefront/cutting edge of electronic music, w/out a doubt the best club in the U.S. Mayor Guilani's term is over in Jan...another club may reopen under diff name but it will never be the same. :( |

| Twilogoddess, is Twilo for real closing? Anybody seen Mauro Picotto's headsets on ebay ;)? Sad thing on Ebay from what I've heard, Elian Gonzlea's inner tube that he floated it was on sell on EBay. |

maybe i'll buy the sofas from the upstairs lounge.. lots of memories:)
'best club in the U.S.' is debatable, but it is up there, top 5 somewhere. I'm just thankful that i was there for pvd's best set ever, his last set at twilo. pic doesn't do it justice, but then, nothing short of reopening the doors would. too bad there are still millions of ppl out there that never got to experience 'twiloism'... i now have no reason to go up to nyc, at least not for parties. maybe i can start a petition to have pvd be a resident at buzz.. haha. |

combo of bad judgement on the part of management, and mayor of nyc out to get twilo. some ppl ODed, twilo tried to cover it up, gave ammunition for city officials to close it down. city's been gunning for twilo for a while. that's the shortshort version. twilogoddess probably could write a book on the subject, if u want a more detailed answer. |

I don't think management made any bad decisions. They were under a microscope by Giuilani and the press, and they were waiting for the slightest mistake to take them down. He even publicly stated it.
Its tragic that the government in the US has such incredible power of censorship. Its a blatent misuse of power, that caberet law...
I'm happy I went out at the beginning of March to see Twilo (and Tiesto @ Limelight). The phazion still ranks as the best sound system I have ever heard, the vibe was incredible, the people really knew their music. One of a kind, legendary.
Respect. |

| Dammit! I've always wanted to go to Twilo and see PvD or Sasha+Digweed but now I won't ever get the chance...:confused: :confused: :confused: From what you guys are saying it must have been the coolest experience...it is really too bad me as well as millions of others will never get to feel that experience. |
