Abbe Diaz to Greenhouse: "Suck It"
DBTH fav Abbe Diaz received an invitation to the Greenhouse Grand Opening (Part II) and for some reason decided to check it out. It seems that was a bad decision on her part, but lucky for us she decided to share her story. Without further ado:
okay seriously
i felt badly cuz i had just made a little karim-amatullah joke here last week. and so i get this invite thingie in my inbox yesterday, and so LIKE A DUMBASS i decide: "oh okay. i should go and check it out."
now-- REALLY NOW. sorry, but i don't "do" clubland anymore. i am 40 years old and the idea i should be anywheres but in bed with booboo at 1AM is totally fucking ludicrous to me. so when i get an "invitation" at an e-mail address that, quite frankly, i naively believe only TWO promoters in the world (amatullah and ronnie-madra) actually have-- i figure: "yes okay i should go and support the peeps."
yah so. the fucking things says 10PM on it, yes? so i decide to go immediately following dinner. 10:25pm.
i am told: "they're not ready yet" by a seriously attatoody fuck at the door. some nice guy standing next to him offers to check the list, but then attatoody fuck says to him, "no, there's no list tonight."
what the fuck is the invitation for then, hmm ??
so, in essence, i dragged a pretty prominent figure of the F&B industry to a club at 10:20pm when he would rather be home instead, just to be dissed at the door by some dumb attatoody mutherfukker. yah, it's pretty irritating, not to mention embarrassing.
so, "Greenhouse Family," whomever you are:
SUCK IT. seriously.
We warned you that 10:00 was not to be trusted, but it seems Abbe didn't get the message. Sorry. But the real question is, after 2 years of pre-opening publicity, is Greenhouse on the fast track to suckville?

Pains me. Especially since I was a patro of the Sunday morning parties at The Shelter with Timmy Regisford. I don't want to go down memory lane but that club was a sort of home to some of us, and I understand how the business works, but it is just sad what it has become. That along with the rest of New York. But I don't think we need anymore whiners....
"We warned you that 10:00 was not to be trusted, but it seems Abbe didn't get the message.
no, i did get it. but i thought by "letting people in at midnight" you meant it would become like "general admission" at midnight.
ha ha HA yes STUPID ME i actually believed the line of "private-opening" bullshit.
Does the place look at all like the previous club? In case you hadn't been, you would walk in on Varick, walk down the stairs (to the basement level), and then you would have to walk through the narrow dance floor to the stairwell upstairs to the main floor.
urban world = Greenhouse. Rumor is they have done 15k in revenue in the past week.
40?
How old is the modeling photo of you that all the blogs post? If that is recent then you are like true cougar status at 40.
