this is MARCH 2005:
this is MARCH 2005: nyc nightlife 5 years ago:

march 5, 2005 secret machines headlined irving plaza with moving units & autolux opening up. as always the machines are pure dynamite in a live context.

march 11, 2005 patrick demarchelier opened his fashion photo exhibit at tony shafrazi gallery with guests anna wintour, her daughter bee shaeffer, stephanie seymour, john casablancas, katie ford and andre balazs. patrick charges $10 to remove un-flattering pics?? not cricket

march 12, 2005 danny tenaglia celebrated his birthday with his debut dj set a nyc's crobar. it was to date the best crobar set Ive heard from the amazing DT & it was among my top sets of 2005, at least ****1/2 stars out of 5 stars. Crobar became M2 and I dont know anyone who thinks its cool. DT is at Pacha in April & he remains solidly among the 10 best DJs ever, in fact at his best he's top 3-5. and after all this time !!

march 17, 2005 st patrick's day at crobar with the great carl cox. it was a strong set fom coxy but not the best he can bring: [his recent crobar 2006 set was ***** of 5 in my estimation, best set Ive heard in 2006 so far.] . Carl's been releasing some mega CDs out of Ibiza since 2009; and when I last heard him at Pacha he was in the 4-5* range, but the crowd made it impossible to hang comfortably for more than 2-3 hours.
* started out the night at Bar 13 with michael from laguna meth at alex english's Broadcast party.

march 18, 2005 holland's sander kleinenberg headlined crobar. sander played santos last week. good match.

march 19, 2005 deep dish was at crobar.

march 24, 2005 the bravery was at rothko on the LES. their debut Lp turned into one of 2005's surprise hits, with several popular club tracks.

march 25, 2005 kaisar chiefs were at bowery ballroom. dj ayres' the rub was at southpaw.

march 26, 2005 roger sanchez headlined crobar with a strong set that i rated **** of 5 stars. the S-Man returns to crobar in may & you do not want to miss one of the world's very best djs. We dont get s-man as much as 5, 10 years ago, but he's consistently in the worldwide Top 10- rees-pecc !!
* started out the night at luke & leroy with guest djs the sounds & aaron hicklin. top tunes on the night were maximo park's 'apply some pressure' and interpol's 'slow hands.' I also met the very sexy shiela and larissa from boonton, NJ, 2 of the tri-state area's most massive hotties.
omg mis-shapes- 5 years ago, a blink of an eye.
** also lio from kanine joined nick marc dj-ing at tiswas. christian smith played sullivan room. and orange park played arlene's grocery.
kanine is rocking with grizzly bear & surfer blood: hi kat !

* other popular venues in march 2005 incl. the darkroom, gypsy tea, passerby, ruby falls, cain, n/a, pink elephant, & marquee. note how many of those have already moved, changed their names or gone out of business....that tells you a lot about the transience of nyc nightlife.

* my favourite Lps in march 2005 were secret machines 'now here is nowhere,' morrissey's 'live at the royal albert hall,' IVY's 'in the clear,' & danny howells' 'GU27:miami." Ive listened to that Howells GU27 about 400 times, literally !!!!!!!

* some of the top fashion models in march 2005 incl. doutzen kroes, emina cunmulaj, lily donaldson, natasha poly, euguenia volodina, inguna butane & last but definitely not least, louise pedersen from denmark.

* my favourite film in march 2005 was morrissey's 'who put the 'M' in manchester?' which I saw a theatre screening of at the loew's on west 42nd st, march 28, 2005, thank you to mark nelson, & alex english was once again in the house!! just bought the DVD: moz on film yayy !!
