hee heee hahahahahaa. that's pretty funny.
you know i once watched eugene-remm crawl around on all fours at A60 to retrieve an errant lipstick owned by his former boss (a D.O. of BRGuest) that had rolled under a banquette.
while the poor guy was ass-up under the bench, she pointed and laughed, while all his fellow colleagues watched.
true story. (i felt really badly for him, even though personally i think both Level-V and Tenjune are totally busted. now i hear they're going around telling everyone they actually "bought Lotus.")
it's the artichoke dip at Houston's. seriously. no joke.

A tipster tells Down by the Hipster that Michael Satsky, owner of the recently raided Stereo, approached Tenjune partner Mark Birnbaum at Houston’s and “walked directly up to him and hit him ‘openhanded’ out of his chair. He then proceeded to put him in a headlock.” The catalyst of that brawl, the source says, is that Tenjune stole DJ Suss One away from Stereo. We asked both parties for comments, and they were quick to offer statements.
From Mark Birnbaum’s partner, Eugene Remm (rumored to have been there): “EM Group is focused on building and keeping their nightlife and hospitality business open and don’t need to focus on things that are overly exaggerated and lacking fact.”
From Michael Satsky: “I am too busy working on our Sundance Film Festival events, and this nonsense is last on my agenda.”
Not as salacious, but just as intriguing, the ubiquitous Abbe Diaz left a comment on the DBTH post saying EM Group is telling people they’ve bought Lotus (there have been rumors). The truth is opaque, but if Birnbaum did get the smackdown, we have just the song for him.
Oh, was that "intriguing" ?? Should I elaborate ?
Okay, if you insist !
See, I'd heard (can't remember from whom exactly-- maybe David Rabin himself?) Lotus was "turning [itself] over" to EM. I gathered this meant in terms of 'promotion,' given the MPD's current (ahem) typical clientele. To me, this is quite different than purchasing the business outright (but perhaps only because I'm a bit of a 'logistics freak.')
Since then, several people have relayed to me how Eugene Remm has informed them, "We just bought Lotus."
Again, call me crazy, but it's a distinction that matters to me, I have no idea why.
I suppose you could always call David Rabin and ask him yerself. (Tell him abbe-diaz says "hiiiiiii...!")

Hm, funny. When I email Abbsterpiece to ask where she's been lately, she tells me she's having computer problems. And yet, there she is, partying on every other website in town.
