SPLASH CLOSED?!

Police say The View on Eighth Avenue, Club Deep on West 22nd Street, Avalon on West 20th, Splash on 17th Street were all closed because of the sale of illegal drugs, such as cocaine and ecstasy.

What else to do this Monday in manhattan?

Well, there's a prayer service at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine at 7:30 PM.

Awww...poor tweaker queens. Gonna have to peddle the crackstasy somewhere else.

Boo. Hoo. Boohoo.

(And if you've been to one Musical Mondays, you've been to them all...how many damn times does one NEED to see Effie tell Curtis he was supposed to love her, anyway?)

Can I have your gay card, please?

Thanks Jail.

Not just Splah. Four gay bars were raided last night.

Oh, honey, please, I *earned* that sh*t. I went to MM almost EVERY week for two years (mostly because I was dragged by my best friend Parker, though), before I staged a self-intervention and got my life back. :-P

Besides, I *over*qualify for my gay card in other areas, so I'm allowed a few points off here and there...

Okay, keep the card. It probably has traces of the
"illegal drugs, such as cocaine and ecstasy" left on it anyways. (you WERE a regular, apparently)

Silly gurl...I would never use my *own* card for that!

So that's where it came from. You told me you just had to jimmy open a door.

[JailyardGuy]

Posted: 4/1/06 at 4:24pm

Well I'm certainly not going to pull a Whitney and tell the world, now am I?

(And I *did* have to jimmy open a door...eventually.)

So whats fun and theatrical on mondays? its my night off.

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 4/1/06 at 4:27pm

The real issue here is that, as usual, all the bars targeted appear to be gay bars or, in the case of Avalon, a mostly gay audience.

Well, darling, you know there's absolutely no drug activity going on in straight clubs. Just square dancing and bingo.

[newsieboy23]

I dont think its a gay issue.

[JailyardGuy]

Posted: 4/1/06 at 4:33pm

Try Marie's.

boring.

Then I don't know what to tell you. Stay home and listen to your cast recordings while acting out your favorite scenes in a showercap...I don't know.

It's New York...find something to do. MM is not the be-all and end-all of entertainment. There are amazing concerts happening in Lincoln Center this Monday, concerts and recitals at Carnegie Hall; there is also tons of theatre going on downtown.

Did they re-open Sat night?

[Parks]

Didn't Britney Spears play some of her music there before she released her CD a couple years back? I totally remember her talking about SPLASH on MTV.

Just a fun fact...thing...memory?

Yup she did when her last album came out. She did a show on MTv where she stopped at different clubs in NYC and Splash was one of them.
I think they are back open so all the Musical Monday fans can rest easy.

And Chelsea Queens everywhere sniff a sigh of relief.

Actually, isn't SBNY more bridge-and-tunnel queens than Chelsea queens?
