Okay so we’re a few days late, but happy new year, bitches!

So did you have fun? Did you get wasted? Did you get gang-banged at the Eagle? You didn’t? Well someone did! And we heard they shit all over the floor at the same time. Hey, when at the Eagle, right?

We only vaguely remember what happened on New Years Eve, but we did go to Colosseum for Jonathan Peters, who went on way early in place of DJ Tommy Stylez, who was not pleased — but when you’re paying $10,000 for a DJ, you’re not likely to argue with him. After that we went to Therapy, which was fantastically slammed (from what we remember). The following night we made an effort to reconstruct the events from New Years Eve by conducting some text message forensics, but in vain. We were left only with a mysterious message from Jenny Bomb Dome that read “VIP NOW, champagne on his way!”, which gave us a tickle until we realized that the message was timestamped 6:36AM. The mystery still lives…

Anyway, 2010 has been more interesting in the last week than all of 2009 put together — well, maybe that’s overstating the situation, but here goes:

Remember when Tommy Menna changed the locks on Martini Bar because the two Elements people running it bounced their rent check twice? We remember, we were there! Well not about to let the place die — although Martini Lounge was pretty dead anyway, they were only open three days a week — last weekTommy gave us the run of the place and we began a 72-hour, thousand-dollar makeover that touched every surface, fixture and bottle in the place. We also renamed it GLO Bar, (because there are no other bars with that name around here) and began a bar-building odyssey that’s forced us to make business decisions pertaining to our friends, and question the ethics of writing an unabridged gossip blog while promoting a bar.

But who cares about any of that?!

We have Tony from Energy, our bar-back Chris from State, Zac from Eagle put in his 2-weeks the other day so he can do Sundays (who even knew you put in notice at Eagle?), so our staff line-up is filling fast and you know it’ll turn over a few times before it works properly! Ada has put her stamp of approval on the joint by dubbing it “the mothafuckin’ place”, and we’re off!

Tonight we do GLO Bar, Mirabar, Dizzark Lady and Therapy later.
