Want to Work For Guest of a Guest?

Guest of a Guest (a blog we enjoy reading daily) is now hiring office interns. Perks of working with the Guest of a Guest crew might include going to some of the over-the-top parties with celebs and socialites they cover on their blog.  Their office is stationed in Lower Manhattan, which is more than we can say for our non-existent office.  Check out their post on Craigslist we found earlier by clicking here.

Rififi Set To Close Tomorrow

Rififi, the comedy club we told you about a few months ago that featured Demetri Martin several times over a three week period is now coming to an abrupt closing. According to Sandpaper Suit, employees were sent txt messages earlier yesterday stating that Thursday (tomorrow will be their last night of operation. The reason for the closing had to do with the landlord who was raising rent above what Rififi thought they could pay. We do believe there is some truth to their closing right before the 1st of next month aka when rent is paid – but we don’t know for sure right now. It’s a shame workers weren’t given a heads up earlier than yesterday.

How Old is Too Old To Promote?

With the help of social networks like Facebook, Myspace, and A Small World, it has become easy to start promoting nightclubs/lounges.  In the past you used to have to know people to promote, but now with friend requesting gone wild, promoters of all ages seem to be popping up all over the place – which brings us to our question: How old is too old to promote?

We often see promoters in their late 20s or early 30s STILL PROMOTING.  This is only understandable if you’re trying to own your own place in the near future – but we think unacceptable if you’re:

1) Bringing out a crowd that is 8-10 years younger than you.

2) Not running your own “Marketing/PR Company” of some sort.

3) Bringing out an undesirable crowd to New York’s B and C Parties.

4) Called a creep behind your back by the girls you bring out.

5) Salary comes solely from promoting.

We understand nightlife is addicting – there are many opportunities for anybody who really wants to make something out of themselves by having your contact list grow daily.  We’ve seen the nightlife industry help those involved in: music, fashion, art, drug-trade, etc – but we’d like to see some promoters leave the game and do something beneficial for society possibly.  Sure, showing people a good time when they go out is great and all, but how about a charity event?  We haven’t seen any older promoters (who aren’t club owners) throw any parties or events for a charity or cause of their choice.  Wouldn’t you think some of the “top promoters” in Manhattan would step up and throw one – even if the reason behind it was to improve their own image over the actual cause? Just something to think about.

Wow, an actual article from A.M. Lifestyle; who would have thunk it?
