here's hoping...

i have doubts itll be anything other than williamsburg hipsters or bottle service douchebags.

i remember seeing steven all the time at life. life was the shit in the early 90s.

Larry Golden is a VT hick, funny he's all up in the NYC club scene

Isn't this what The Box was supposed to be? Just look at what happened to that venue.

Is the box the place that tried to be uber A-list exclusive and burlesque-ish, then resorted to some sort of glorified dinner theater? Weird.

Seems like vague hype speak. While Pianos had its moment, this place seems like it'll be just like Le Royale with some better talent.

I never thought I'd say it... but I think NYC needs Misshapes.

I guess you could say I fall into the category of "monied" type.

In my humble opinion, targeting the place towards the "monied" crowd will, more likely than not, make it suck.

But I hope I'm wrong.

"I never thought I'd say it... but I think NYC needs Misshapes."

Shouldn't you be in class?

Oh my gross gay god, this place already sounds like the suck.

we need a massive recession to weed out the boys from the men.

dear lord, this place will suck like the suckiest of all suck places...and that includes R Bar.

Shame on you Andrew WK!

comment...........fart..............

What I think NY really needs is to lose the fucking pretentious, scene-creating facade, bullshit door policies. Sure, sometimes dorks or armies of guys are better off not coming in, but it should come as no surprise when every single one of the "next great place" hot spots sucks balls b/c all the people inside are tired-ass, over-privileged, well-connected losers. It's the edgy, somewhat broke, unconnected, non-VIP clientele that really gives places their character. Sure, let groups of overly dressed and beautified chicks with senses of entitlement as big as their rich boyfriends' bank accounts come in, but also let in the cool kids who just want to have a good time and get off like everyone else. All the exclusivity ruins every good spot, guaranteed.

This guy was great as Julius Caesar on HBO's "Rome."

Dave Ramsey is an investor too.

but will it be edgy enough

"the club downstairs will change life as we know it." = a secret neil diamond show?

he's even better on that "House" show. Did you know he's austrailian?!?!

lame

thanks Huey!

I was also told it is hip to be square.

Good night,
Mr. Lewis

This place is sounding worse by the minute. Just awful.

People. This establishment has already changed my life. WOW.

It's so beautiful to think that one venue can change so many lives, touch so many hearts

I already feel myself drawn there, like a soft fawn to a soft beast

who will join me there to sing praise?

Must I do it Alone?

i agree anon 4:21 PM. some of the coolest people are mad ugly! let em in!

Can't wait. Let's Party People!!!

Cocaine Dreams And Fart Stained Dreams.. Ahhh. I think I pooped my pee pee poo poo underwears but I love him... Ooops.. I vomited in my mouth,, but I can't leave now.?... I'm having the night of my LIFE!!!!!!

Oh yeah.. And 9:01 Anon-A-moronix.. Get back out of town popcorn dickhead.

The place hasn't even opened yet, and you motherfuckers are already talking MAD SHIT. Do you not want new venues?

What's with the negativity on this sites comment board?

Chill people. Have fun.

No really, I'm Anon 945 and I really do think that if any of you naysayers had the experience I'm describing, YOU WOULD WAKE UP FEELING COMPLETE... AHHHhhhh...

Let's face it 99% of the venues in new york are regularly filled w/ posers and uptight hipsters that even in the presence of a great performance can't let go enough to enjoy themselves. I can't even count the amount of times that I've seen or heard something great in this city and crowd inevitably ruined the night by being non-responsive or f*cking talking the whole night. The best parties or performances that I've been to, for the most part have been private with people doing it for themselves. There is clearly enough talent here but the venues are being run by all the wrong people, cause all the wrong people have the money. There are of course some exceptions but by in large that is why people are going underground and why "real" artists are wary of playing allot of the venues/clubs in the city.

Spa on Wednesday nights, Recess on Thursdays, Passerby on Friday nights...those were the days. Post 9/11 New York - what are we missing? Everyone's grown up and pregnant I guess...

I hope there is some places that open up and prove everyone wrong. I highly doubt that will happen w/ the current state of affairs of nightlife in new york. The hay day has come and went along time ago.

This is just so true!! I had to quote and post.

Maybe the club scene sucks these days, but there has rarely been a better time for rock music in terms of venues (legit and DIY), diversity of music, quality of bands. Clubs will return, it's a cycle. Rock was DEAD in the late 90's remember?

You know that nightlife is hurting when people are listening to some old man.

steve lewis what a burnout drug dealing lowlife

ruined lives with his pushing pills with lord micheal another pussified douchebag

why do we care what lewis has to say, again?

Changed my life too!!! before i read this article i was actually thinking about going there!!

The venue is beautiful and the sound is OFF THE HOOK.

Judging by the preemptive hater strike, it's going to be a success. I'm definitely excited to see what the lineups look like.

Good luck Santo!

Vermont hick notwithstanding, this place will possibly rock.

really would be nice to play a place not owned by bowery presents
