    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

    @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

    Ever since I read about that performer firing a farmer's blow into a patron's drink and the patron drinking it, I get a sick feeling when I read anything about The Box. If it's gonna be that kind of party, I'm looking for the mashed potatoes.

    I love that she was there to save her brother's club. Maybe she should run for office.


    Having worked on the city's last update to the noise code, I know more about this issue than I care to. Therefore, in compliance with said code, I will now shut up.

    @Nic Fit: It was a step in the right direction, especially moving towards standards based on what you can hear instead of what you can measure with a machine that no one is walking around with. That said, enforcement is still very difficult, noise in the city is ubiquitous (and often transitory), and the nightlife lobby is nearly as strong as the people who got no sleep are angry.

    Noise in cities, what with bars, traffic, men with tiny penises who choose to compensate with large car stereos, people who get drunk and holler under their exes' windows at 4am, is kind of a big problem.
