Yeah, that was what I tried to go to. If you check out the website, they've
been closed since May. Very sad news.

Incidentally, I got talked into buying this Francois K cd for $30.00. It was
very impressive tracks on it, but dammit, it's not mixed?! Hello? Anyone
want to buy this stupid thing off me  before I attempt to return it? I can
return ice to an Eskimo, so lemme know.

>> the
>> shit, but now it's just shit (music & vibe wise.)
>> 
>> What was depressing is that club Arc (formerly Vinyl) was closed when I
>> was
>> there. I wanted to get an extra helping of Franscois K!
>> 
>> I'm by no means saying I'm an authority on the NY house scene, I just
>> know
>> that when I was there it seemed to be a lot more about flash, than vibe
>> and
>> everything that goes with that. I prefer LA's options, personally. =)
