Does anyone remember when Neville Wells thought it'd be a great idea to get a bunch of his Limelight "regulars" to go out to some club in Long Island to support Dave Kendall (and maybe someone else), who were DJ'ing a night, in a chartered bus?
Complete and utter disaster!
I remember that besides me, we had Rob Fitzpatrick, Jesse, Rob Wong, Carrie, and maybe Samantha. But I do know there were more of us there that I can't recall at the moment.
We all met in front of Limelight where we'd board the bus and head out to what I think was Long Beach, Long Island.
This would have been in the Fall of 1991 and it wasn't until we got to the club and walked into what was Guido-Hell that we realized this was NOT going to go over well!
Needless to say once the music started and we all began to dance, one fight after another began to erupt, including yours truly with some big-ass dude who looked like he was right out of my neighborhood, wearing a ridiculous bright red leather jacket with that stupid "8 Ball" on the back.
I also remember a big girl-fight which included Carrie breaking out as things were calming down, which got me finally running over to Neville to tell him we needed to get the fuck out of there immediately.
The DJ's never spun their sets, everyone was pissed off, and we were back on the bus heading to the Limelight before we knew it.
Total waste of time...
Thinking back on it, I guess I can see why these Long Island people would have been a little put off by a bunch of clubbers from New York City just walking in there, comped on everything, and dancing around like we owned the place.
Oh well, funny thing to think about 20 years later...
I remember it really well because I took the LIRR to NYC to take a bus to a club maybe 7 miles from my house. I had started dancing and listening to "new wave" at that club a few years before. It's where I got my 1st pass for Censored. The club was called Malibu in long beach long island. I remember getting lots of drinks. I know joe was there and maybe Mishelle. I had fun and I remember feeling so important like the disco 2000 club kids.
ReplyDeleteThat night was hilarious! What a disaster! The look on Neville's face when I ran up to him demanding we get the hell out of there before something REALLY BAD happened was priceless! What a night!
Deletethat was one of my best memories... a CLUB renting a bus to take us to another CLUB... so how does one get in touch with you to catch up?
