    Well, the calls to Bungalow 8 are being unanswered because the line has been disconnected, so I don't think the "source" is that stupid. I think this story is more about Amy Sacco than Bungalow 8; she's just trying to milk every limelight that is fading away from her. By the time Bungalow 8 is re-launched, the celebs that will be seen there would be TomKat's and Brangelina's kids. #bungalow8

    "Amy Sacco was one of, if not, truly the first woman to knock the boys off their feet."
    I hope Suzanne Bartsch, Nell and Elaine Kaufman don't read this website. #bungalow8

    @Parah_Salin: Not to mention Texas Guinan! She made a million in the 1920's, famously greeting her speakeasy nite-club patrons, "Hello Suckers" as she dripped with diamonds.

    And no, Bungalow won't recover. Just an immutable law of NYC nightlife. If Carrie Bradshaw was hyping it, it is so over, we need a new word for over. #bungalow8

    @Baroness: I found this whole article bizarre, because I left NYC 15 years ago, and I can't believe this is what passes for a hot spot. Back in the 1980's, when I was a Young, these people would never have been allowed past anyone's velvet rope. Kenny Kenny manned the doors with an iron fist and a velvet clipboard. I guess now it's all about being a junior trader at Goldman Sachs, and not about how well you wear your sequinned bustier with matching sequinned baseball cap. Geez, I really am an Old. I think I'll go have some milk. #bungalow8

    I feel sorry for the man standing alone in the grey scarf, upper center of the picture. None of these alluring, glamorous, ultrasexy Bungalow denizens will talk with him. Look at all those supermodels, frolicking like gazelles- he doesn't even exist. Bret Easton Ellis is about to call it a night and head home for a good cry. #bungalow8

    @Baroness: I don't recall what it was, save I was there as a guest. It was one of only two times I was there, and yes, the second time involved the Shah of Iran's demon seed dancing on tables, so I would assume the above event is/was not indicative of the general run of things chez Sacco.

    I am almost certain it's me. Crap eighties haircut, check: gay grey scarf, check; clutching on to my drink for dear life, check; being ignored by the finance-peeps, check.

    But thanks for thinking I look like Bret Eaton Ellis (at that distance, anyway), because I always thought he was teh cuteness. #bungalow8

    Save the Robots in Alphabet City; Underground in Union Square, which is now a pet store. The Bank (now Element) in LES. There was also a club called Peace (the last incarnation of that place that that I can remember) at Bleecker, which is now a CVS or Duane Reade (those chain pharmacies are all alike anyway). And too many to not to remember. I'll go dig up in my rented storage room for all those passes and flyers that they used to hand out. Also back then, it was pretty much an open door policy -- little or no velvet rope in the selection of the patrons. Nowadays, everyone seems to be to be dressed the same: either men in suits in finance, and fashion models or Scary Sadshaw wannabes in stilletto heels and mini-skirts, or they pretend they're in finance or in fashion. Just look at that picture above. #bungalow8

    Centro Fly was my favorite. Always had a thing for 1960s biomorphic decor. And yes, there was a curious moment from 1999 to 2000 or so when genuinely interesting people went to nightclubs. Then all of a sudden the lights went on and the khaki pants held indomitable sway over all. #bungalow8
