205, the Serge Becker & A-Ron Collabo
205, the rumored “bar-lounge-restaurant” alliance of Serge Becker (nightlife impresario of La Esquina fame) and Aaron “A-Ron” Bondaroff (cool kid of aNYthing fame) was confirmed last week. Who cares that New York Magazine broke the news back in August.
On Friday night, 205 hosted the after party for ThreeAsFour’s fashion week show. Rub N Tug fueled the danceparty, free drinks flowed, people got sweaty on the floor, and Vincent Gallo was skeezy as ever (pushing up on Mark, the Cobra Snake’s girlfriend).
Silver walls, tinfoil covered fixtures, exposed pipes, and disco balls on the upstairs level suggest ThreeAsFour’s own loft a few blocks away (and the Factory of some dude named Andy Warhol). Downstairs, the shady carpets and rec room vibe of 6’s and 8’s are replaced by hand lettered plywood and stacks of broken televisions. It’s the aftermath of a night dumpster diving and robbing construction sites.

By bykenyan on January 6th, 2007 at 5:22 pmMy grandmother was insane and extreemly sick last autumn, and she stayed with us for about 2 months. During this time, both my mother and father had to leave. My dad’s mother came to stay with us. I used to like her better than my other grandma, but now I hate them both. They’re ignorant and old. I know I should respect them, but I can’t and won’t.
I now feel horrible. My grandmother got sick again and almost died. I wasn’t concerned in the least. She had been living with us for about 4 months and she bugged the crap out of me. I didn’t care that she was dying. Am I emotionally dead? Is this how lots of people feel, and just never say? Everyone else was worried sick, and I was Dissapointed when she got better and came back to live with us. What the hell is wrong with me?
Serge Becker is scum, the worst thing for downtown and all of Manhattan. Thank god the public and the authorities are finally wising up and working to shut him down.
