interesting to see so many canadians chiming in on this topic. my girlfriend was in toronto for work a little while ago and said she couldn't get any sleep b/c there was a party f-ing rocking right next to her hotel - the only bad thing about it was that she couldn't enjoy it. we're def going up there for a wkend soon though, the nyc scene has gone down the tubes big time thanks to mayor dickberg. go canada did i just say that?

Well, lets' just hope that rich fucker doesn't make a second term in office. It seems as if he's trying to take away the heart and essence of what NYC really is.

A Brooklyn bar DJ became the latest casualty in Mayor Bloomberg's escalating war on clubs last month when cops issued him with a ticket for 'Operation of Sound Reproductive Device Without a Permit' (Village Voice).

...after police heard some of his music on the sidewalk (pavement- English Ed.) suggesting DJs as well as bars and clubs are now liable to be fined under the city's increasingly tough entertainment laws.


http://www.nyna.org/issues.html ('Under current law, bars and clubs can receive a summons for noise emanating from right outside their establishment as a result of simply opening and closing their door to let patrons in and out . . .')

Thats seriously fucked up. How can you fine someone for doing their job? In all seriousness I have no idea what they're trying to prove here, aren't bars and clubs there for people to go and have fun, relax and dance?

pathetic

If you live in NYC and are eligible to vote and care about these issues, then PLEASE get yourself registered and make sure you VOTE!!!!! Actually that goes for anyone anywhere.

You can complain until you're blue in the face that things suck here because of Gloomberg but unless you had a hand in trying to NOT elect him (yes, I voted for Green) then, imo, you need to STFU.

Here's the link w/ directions on how to register to vote in NYC. Please note that you can download the form and mail it in.

Waaay to many jobs and revenue would be lost if they shut down at 1:00AM. Would never happen. For example, think of all the resaurants and diners that would lose out from all the partiers grabbing a bite to eat late night. Too many businesses would get affected. $$$$$ is everything.
