wont be missed
They were shut down last night (Saturday) too. I was at Cain and they wouldn't even let a promoter in because he didn't have ID on him. How things have changed.
OMG what will all the underage sluts from FIT do? Quick promoters man ur ships and rescue these useless joyce Leslie disaster lol this is a blessing by the way so be happy
Marquee is probly the most succesful nightclub in the history of new york. they run a completely clean ship and i am sad that the police has nothing better to do then try to hurt a part of our citys economy it that brings a billion dollars in revenue and thousands of jobs.
pacha was also shut down Fri as well...
what were they being shut down for?
i was out all day "pride-ing" yesterday, and word on the street was the club closings this past weekend (Pacha, Marquee and Splash) were a blatant attack on gay pride week- Pacha in particular had some AMAZING Pride parties plans and will losing big $$ due to this.
All the little gay birdies were saying that we can all expect more closures this weekend so the evil NYPD and government can crack down on evil nightclubs and homosexuals all in one fell swooop.
discrimination and wasting our cops time when gays are being jumped outside of 1OAK and no one shuts them down.
This was not an attack on pride week, but rather an attack on clubs that stood to benefit immensely from pride week (pacha). as for marquee, this was inevitable- they were busted for employees selling drugs...how can you call that a "completely clean ship..." please know the facts before wasting peoples time with inaccuracies.
what facts do you have that marquee employees were selling drugs?
please display facts before wasting peoples time with allegations.
Marquee and Pacha are the two greatest clubs in NYC b/c I designed them both! O did I mention, I used to be the shizzzz back in the day?
this happened a few months back for the most part at marquee- Noah went crazy on the staff- replaced most of the security team. 7 counts in total, 5 involving employees.
that's what a friend of mine said who works in clubs.
it's too bad for marquee. they do run a tight ship- possibly the best run club in nyc- ever. not the best club, but the best run. sucks when a few of the staff put everyone in such a compromising position. hurts the owners, other employees and the patrons.
whoever pretending to be jason is right...marquee's operation is definitely what has made them so successful: it is a shock that a place like that got nailed.
who pretended to be jason?
nevermind
THE TIMING DOES SEEM STRANGE FOR CLOSING THESE CLUBS ...NOT SPENT MUCH TIME AT PACHA BUT HEARD NOT A CLEAN SHIP AFTER HOUR CROWD TOO..MARQUEE IM NOT A FAN OF BUT CAN SAY NO WAY DO I BELIEVE ITS NOT A CLEAN OPERATION...SPLASH NEVER BEEN..
