Loose Record / Levy show @ Fat Baby Raided
Firemen raided a Loose Record party that Levy were playing at Fat Baby on the Lower East Side Friday night. (Dec 2, 2005)
"...then took off to the L.E.S. bars with cheryl and her friend margot. we also got shut out of the loose record party featuring bands levy and end of the world because the cops and fire department barred the door at fat baby for going over capacity[74]. it was ridiculous, because myself and serkan the loose programmer were shut out of our own party..." [lucky is coming your way]
"...I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw full-suited firemen charge into Fat Baby on Friday. The venue has been open two months and already has citations galore. It was packed on Friday, but by no means unbearable. I could still walk around. By bringing in that many firemen and police officers, it only congested it more..." [The Underrated]
"...Later in the night, New York’s finest bar-busters busted up the party. The firemen came in and more or less shut the place down by not letting anyone enter or reenter. I guess the owner had a lot of violations, and it was pretty hazardous -in theory- to occupy the space. One could interpret this as that I was endangering my life for rock and roll...." [Yeti Don't Dance]

When James made a comment about all the bloggers there, he wasn't kidding.

Ahhh... if the capacity is at 74 that means you don't have to have a Public Assembly Permit. They'll have to do a filing with the DOB, and periodic inspections (at least once a year). Once you have that PA Permit (for any assembly of 75 or more), capacity can go up to 1 person for every 4 square feet, accordin to the NYS building code.
Note to Hipsters: a "Dance Floor" requires a minimum of 10 square feet per person.
Reference: NYS Building Code 27-358, Table 6-2

It was nothing really... just like "Thanks to all the bloggers for coming out tonight" or something. But the dead silence it received was great.
