Midway reopens, Ratex X resumes, Rated X ends

First Tricia Romano wrote, "Those who looked around might have been confused to see Michael T sitting in the corner, as Saturday is also the night for his newly restarted weekly Rated X. But just a few minutes earlier at Midway (formerly Scenic), witnesses report, Michael T and his co-DJ, Theo, along with their host, Peppermint Gummybear, had staged a walkout. After a dispute with a patron and another over the guest list, Peppermint led the crowd in a chant of 'fuck you' directed at the bar's owners (who, Fly Life readers might remember, were briefly considering booting the party over its risque nature). The bartenders, DJs, performers, and crowd swiftly exited the premises. (Neither Michael T or Theo returned requests for comment)."

Then Shaw Promotion said, "there will be no Rated X The Panty Party @ Midway this coming Saturday. We have no further info on this matter and will keep you posted as soon as we get a 'statement'." (thx Neuman)
