I think Daddy mentioned this before but I read today that the Roxy will close next year. Not really surprised but it's the only real big club left with some history to it. I havn't been there in ages, but it was one of the first clubs I went to when I moved to New York in 1992. Lee Chappel's Locomotion parties on Saturday nights were sooo much fun back in the early 1990's , I don't care for the all male thing on Saturday nights now(totally boring and very dull) but I really like the space and the chandalier room and of course roller skating! Soon there will be nothing left!

Where will all those chomping-at-the-bit muscle queens go on Saturday night? Probably Avalon (ex-Limelight), if John Blair has anything to say about it. It was never my scene but I had some good times there over the years, including roller skating, just like in junior high. Closing the Roxy feels kind of like closing Macy's ... I don't shop there that often but it's an institution I don't want to go away.
