CHAPTER ONE
Once upon a time, not too long ago...in the far reaches of Upstate Albany -(the capital of New York) is where it all started. The year was 1994, I began my first semester as a freshman at the University at Albany. I was finally introduced to the college lifestyle: parties, partying & more partying! From on-to-off campus parties -to- Happy Hour @ WT's a.k.a. Washington Tavern and their .10¢ cent wings -to- Thurs. night Latin parties @ Valentine's -to- Friday night hip-hop parties @ Bogie's and their Long Island Ice Teas...little did I know, I was about to embark on a journey into becoming a NYC club promoter. In 1997, University at Albany was rated the Number #1 Party School in America by Princeton Review...I can honestly say, I absolutely, positively had nothing to do with that! lol
Upon graduating, I fulfilled one of my lifelong dreams and became a Wall St. broker & worked in the World Trade Center -(R.I.P.) As a young, working professional, I began experiencing the best of what New York City Night Life had to offer. In 2000, my first club/lounge/bar experiences were at Webster Hall, Bar None, Carbon, China Club/Jade Terrace, Copacabana, LQ's, Cafe Remy, Metronome & Moonlighting. After a couple years of hardcore clubbing, in 2002 and on...my list of clubs had expanded to more A-List parties & upscale spots like Centro Fly, Chaos, Cheetah, E'toile, Eugene, Exit, Luahn, Ohm, Saci & Sound Factory. By now, the bottle poppin' craze took the club industry by storm. The only way to access the club's most exclusive V.I.P. rooms was to reserve tables & purchase bottles. My boys & I would pop a couple bottles every weekend..."BALLA" status was thus hath shall hath shall thus achieved.
Tragically enough, the horrific events of 9/11 brought my party ride to a screeching haut. I can not lie, it affected in ways you wouldn't and couldn't describe. Weeks would pass and neither I, -nor the city ever seem to have fully recovered from the terrorist attack that changed the way Americans live. But then, one day it dawned on me, am I going to stop living my life because of some religious faction vs. the U.S. in an international battle for oil -(money) or am I going to count my blessings that I survived and live my life to the fullest?
223 venues later...lol...I stepped into a lounge called 9 & 1/2 and met the one promoter who made the most simplistic business offer that I have ever heard. It went a lil' something like this: "Come help promote my party, I'll take care of you..." and so, he's the one who brought me into the promoting game -Sammy K of the DirtyStayOut.com family. After creating a minor buzz in the promoting industry, I eventually get a call from the biggest Latin turned Mainstream promoter in all of NYC -Eric Virgil. With the help & guidance of Eric Soler and Luck Lezcano of Eric & Luck, LLC., Sammy K & Joe Messina of the DirtyStayOut Family & Joseee of Queen's Finest...the rest is basically history. Please join me in my journey...in my quest of bringing to you, the Hottest & Trendiest Parties in NYC!
