Roxy got busted last friday when teh NYPD sent some underage kids inside to buy drinks. Apparently the kids were able to buy some and the club got shut down friday nite. They had Junior scheduled to be there on Saturday night, so management somehot got a superior court judge to hold a preliminary hearing on their case on saturday afternoon. He aggreed to let them reopen until there can be a full hearing, however they need to only allow people 21+ inside, and must close the venue when the bar closes at 4. Management agreed and thats the way its gonna stand until they go to court with the city about the underage drinking charges.
...if u check info on the ROXY site for PvD, says its closing at 4, and says its 21+? |

| the pvd of the old days would come in and spin at 11pm to make up for it - let's see what he does now. With his #1 dj status he might show up at 3 and spin a 1 hour set a la oakenfold |

| I believe that either Made or someone else would of said something about this by now. This is a huge alteration to the night obviously, and if actions aren't being done to fix it, then made is going to get owned by all the ticketholders. |

I heard about this yesterday and mentioned it in the PvD @ Roxy thread. Here's a copy of an email sent around by John Blair Promotions regarding the Junior Vasquez party this past weekend and the problems that occurred. It gets into a bit more detail about the issues.
| quote: | We have received countless e-mails about Roxy closing it's doors at 4am this past Saturday, October 29. We are as upset as many of your were.
Roxy was closed down by the police dept. on FRIDAY, Oct. 28th at 10pm.
As it happened with Park and Lotus, the Police dept. had been sending undercover underage people to buy drinks. Most of the time they did not succeed but a few times they did.
The "Nuisance and Abatement" law gives them jurisdiction that enables them to close you down at any moment if you have 2 or more of these violations.
Roxy was able to get a Supreme Court Judge on Saturday, October 29th to counter that action by the police and allow us to open Saturday night, a miracle in itself. We did not know until late afternoon that we would even be open for the night.
We were told that we could not allow anyone under 21, or anyone without a valid government issued ID to enter the club, and that door would have to be closed at 4am. Shortly after, we sent you all an e-mail stating that we were open and that it was 21 and older.
Much later into the night, we were told that "door closed" meant lights on and EVERYBODY out of the building. Unfortunately it was way too late to do anything about it.
This whole situation forced us to let 2000 people out the door at the same time, which we considered unsafe and totally illogical. Coat check was overloaded with patrons trying to get their coats at the same time and, by having everybody leave the building at the same time, we caused unnecessary noise and inconvenience to our neighbors and patrons.
We are told that The Police Department wants all clubs in the area to be 21 and over and to be closed at 4am.
We look forward to meeting this week with the police and our attorneys and hopefully find a common ground that will be good for all.
Again, we're terribly sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
We have received a lot of emails asking why this happened, so there it is.
We moved Heaven and Earth to get open and have a great party.
It was indeed a great party! Unfortunately, not everything turned out the way we planned.
We will keep you informed as to how things progress.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
John Blair. |
