This is great news, i hope it comes through and I really hope I can finally get a chance to see pvd there. I have heard plenty of the 6 hour sets but I have also caught wind of considerably longer sets from him at the roxy as well. Can anyone confirm a 12 hour set from PVD @ The roxy |

PvD @ Roxy sets were the best PvD experiences IMO, hands down. |

Oh, if only... I'd be real happy.
No new news here, but another article from
Good Night Mr Lewis
Roxy, Johnny Thunder, Pacha, Oh My!
By Steve Lewis
August 12, 2009
Roxy, Johnny Thunder, Pacha, Oh My! The Roxy, an iconic club once described as "the Studio 54 of roller rinks," ran rings around it's competition from the 1970's until 2007. An attempted relaunch has been the subject of much behind-the= scene action featuring former owner Gene Dinino, who yesterday broke off negotiations with a group headed up by his former corporate events planner Neal Erman. Neal's group had the money and ability to obtain a liquor license while Gene--who operated the joint from 1985 until its close--was in good standing with the landlord Mendy Taffel. Thousands of dollars per week separated the 2 parties, and yesterday it got ugly. Neal's group has "spent 6 figures on soundproofing consultants and other planning" as they tried to dot all the i's and cross all the t's, approaching yesterdays community board meeting.
All the work is now useless as “the landlord only felt comfortable if Gene was involved.” A source told me that “no other group will be able to duplicate the hard work done by Neal Erman. He was making a great effort to embrace the community and become a productive part of it.” Neal is furious with Gene, and now will walk away. Gene for his part, says he really wasn’t part of that groups plans but was listening to the offers which didnt, in his opinion “embrace his value.” He says he “will move forward”.
Although rumors of another group headed up by international DJ and all around nice guy Victor Calderone, spin right round like a record playing, Gene says he is not talking to them but is looking at another situation. My bet is John Blair who ran the long running gay-based Saturday night party will step up with investors. I think the club will present a less problematic posture if it goes this route. A source told me “Neal put in a great effort and would have been a great asset to the community. He is a really nice guy, But the two groups are miles apart and I can’t imagine anyone else getting a (liquor) license. The rent is around 60,000 a month and there are lots of debts, construction and soundproofing issues.” I’ve heard a lease of less than 4 years carrying a demolition clause is all that’s being offered. With the High Line’s proximity there will be restrictions on the height of new construction. Clubs may indeed bring their own problems, but tall buildings block sunsets and cast shadows. It may be possible that a club could last a while, and that a new building may never go up, but millions will be needed to get this ginormous place up to speed. This is a high stakes poker game and I can’t tell if everybody’s bluffing or actually holding the cards. I’m glad I’m just watching. I’ll keep you posted. |
