I heard landlord wanted Michael out so they changed locks and pulled gates on him with no warning.

I heard it wasn't Michael necessarily but club owners are in major debt to the landlord, not paying the rent, etc.

Rents are just out of control in New York. Nothing but big corporations can survive. I was in a cab going up Third Ave. and I noticed that the entire trip uptown was nothing but a series of giant chain stores. The Gap, Starbucks, Duane Reade, Strawberry, The Gap, Starbucks, Duane Reade, Strawberry, The Gap, Starbucks, Duane Reade, Strawberry, etc. It's just one big mall now.

Also shuttered in 2008: Tompkins Square Bakery and Lost Shoe (though Anne got herself a sweet exit package); point being, we're running out of gathering places that provide work and much-needed relief from that asphyxiating mall culture.

So true. Even Barnes and Noble is bailing out of the Astor Place store because of too high rent!

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like Michael was the prob I meant that landlord wanted Boysroom out but I always considered that place Michael's.

Oh, Nancy. We know how insufferable she is! Love her gumption, though. It's true...she really did mark her territory on that spot.

But wait! There's more! The ol' girl still has some life left in her... We're housing Boysroom at Rapture! Last night's debut on zero notice was sooooo cute and soooo sexy! See the Rapture topic for more...

Well, I want to be the first one to say it. Boy's Room @ Rapture was a blast. Great crowd and fun! These are very tough times and we have to be creative to survive.

Wow! It's packed...can't even move in here! The old space could never have held this many crazy queens and naughty lads. I'm loving our new "merger!"

I had a blast on Friday. I hated to leave Ol' Washer Woman Hathaway there but someone had to mop up! (just kidding)

A word from your Mods: hatches, I moved the listing of Rapture events (early-night) back to the Rapture Topic. I thought we'd use this one for Boysroom @ Rapture listing, links etc.?

Well "Boys Room at Rapture" is definitely a hit! Packed again last night. Took Casanova there to see Aunt Hattie & Uncle Joe. He went nuts! Jumped up on the stage to go go. My little boy is growing up.

So is this a weekly? A nightly? And Daddy don't let the go go dog spread the word at the T2 dogrun or else we'll have to get used to another fragrance at Rapture besides spunk.
