Gaiety Update????

[samwhygy]

Any new info on the possibility of the Gaiety reopening or the opening of a similar venue?

[Cooper]

The sign on the door used to read "follow G-publications for a possible new location"... I've been following HX and NEXT, still nothing to report... Were you able to attend the "private parties"? Several of the former G-dancers were in town for them.

[samwhygy]

there is a post on another site that Denise is still working on a new location but nothing is "firm" yet..

[bigguyinpasadena]

The Gaity is GONE GONE GONE

For those of you who have trouble with the comprehension of the idea of GONE,CLOSED,OUT OF BUISNESS FOREVER I offer the following transcript

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

The sketch:

A customer enters a pet shop.

Mr. Praline: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.

 

(The owner does not respond.)

 

Mr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss?

 

Owner: What do you mean "miss"?

 

Mr. Praline: {pause} I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!

 

Owner: We're closin' for lunch.

 

Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.

 

Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?

 

Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!

 

Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.

 

Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

 

Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!

 

Mr. Praline: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.

 

Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!

 

Mr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...

 

(owner hits the cage)

 

Owner: There, he moved!

 

Mr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!

 

Owner: I never!!

 

Mr. Praline: Yes, you did!

 

Owner: I never, never did anything...

 

Mr. Praline: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

 

(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)

 

Mr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.

 

Owner: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!

 

Mr. Praline: STUNNED?!?

 

Owner: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.

 

Mr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

 

Owner: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.

 

Mr. Praline: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?

 

Owner: The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!

 

Mr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

 

(pause)

 

Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

 

Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!

 

Owner: No no! 'E's pining!

 

Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

 

(pause)

 

Owner: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.

 

Mr. Praline: I see. I see, I get the picture.

 

Owner: {pause} I got a slug.

 

(pause)

 

Mr. Praline: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it talk?

 

Owner: Nnnnot really.

 

Mr. Praline: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?

SO GET OVER IT ALREADY!

[+ Lucky]

My parrot didn't die! The dream lives!

[Ozarko]

Denise has absolutely not given up trying to find a new venue for the Gaiety. That is a fact.

[Paul Revere]

I think that Denise has found a location for the "New Gaiey". It's right next to the Weapons of Mass Destruction. I'm not sure of the exact address, but it's in the same nieghborhood.

[tony]

I want to believe....at least hold on to the possibility.

 

Dreams die hard!

[tazmanian5230]

Greeks !!

Denise will not give up....Its just a matter of time..

Prepare for the Monday Lineup!

 

So many new posters, "TONY" "OZARKO"

 

I thought Tony could have been the beloved Tony Tender but i didnt see any pics of NEO....Or could Neo have moved in with him already.

 

Ozarko? Was it WHOOP? Hmmmm

[samwhygy]

thank you Ozarko, for a simple answer to a simple question. Why do some people have to create such drama ?

[samwhygy]

By the way, I never saw a parrot at the Gaiety. Did anyone else?

[tonytender]

>I thought Tony could have been the beloved Tony Tender but i

>him already.

>

>Ozarko? Was it WHOOP? Hmmmm

 

 

TAZ...you hit the nail on the head. How did you know?

 

Neo has moved in with me and I am happy to say he is with child.

Soon there will be "Little Tenders" running about. (I think they sell those at KFC!) :9

[JT Brooklyn]

Paul..LOL BUT Apparently.. Some People just keep Lookin & Lookin..For what's "NOT" going to be there!.. While 98% of us have "Moved On" in NYC.. :+

[tazmanian5230]

WOW,

If you think this is drama wait till the Gaiety does re-open and Luckys Parrot gets loose in the middle of a show or the BBQ chips run out or Tony Tender and Neo are having a lovers spat....Or even better, the G Apt doesnt get cleaned on time.....}(

[Guest Fisher]

I don’t know why some people get such glee with the closing of the Gaiety.

If the Gaiety was not your thing or if you had a bad experience there - fine,

but many people enjoyed it over its thirty years of existence. The Gaiety

did not close for lack of customers.

 

I also don’t know why some people have to behave like assholes when

someone asks a legitimate question. If you want to make nasty, stupid

comments or hijack threads please go over to that other site. x(

 

Will the Gaiety ever reopen? … perhaps not; however, the possibility

of the Gaiety (or a Gaiety-like club) opening up in the NYC area is

not an impossible occurrence. And there are individuals on this site

who may have some knowledge of it.

 

Cheers,

Fisher

[baltimore observer]

Thank you. Hope springs eternal.

[samwhygy]

Well said Fischer

[bigguyinpasadena]

Well gee Fisher,,,,sorry that upset you so(not really-just being polite:P )

And thats Ms.Asshole to you!

Don't you think if something happned like the Gaity reopening(or like Shrub saying "I'm sorry for lying to y'all"-just as likely to happen)the board would not be filled to the the oveload point with the regs going apeshit over the second coming?

Instead we get the same pathetic little rumours about some mad Greek woman running around looking for new lodgings for her dog and pony show.

Quite pathetic.

I understand the G had its loyal fans,well they need some tough love here and I will be happy to give it to them at the same rate the HUSTLERS who danced at the G charged them,$250 usd for an hour that last 40 minutes.

So unbunch your panties and await the news.

[JT Brooklyn]

BIG GUY..LOL ..:+

Re: Gaiety

 

A true New Yorker would say, "anything is possible".

[Guest Fisher]

Actually BG I said you were behaving like an asshole,

but if you want to make it your full time vocation,

that’s fine with me.

 

Samwhygy asked two simple questions:

1: >Any new info on the possibility of the Gaiety reopening

2: > or the opening of a similar venue?

 

I don’t know why people have to be so bitchy

and feel they must comment even if they have

no information…nothing to add. The last time

there was an update on this board about the

Gaiety was over a month ago.I don't think its

so horrible that someone asked for an update.

 

You posted:

While you previously posted:

Unless you know Denise personally or know for a

fact that she is now running a diner in Nutley, NJ

or retired to a condo is Sun City, AZ, YOU are the

one spreading rumors because YOU don't know what

she is doing.

 

> same rate the HUSTLERS who danced at the G charged

> them,$250 usd for an hour that last 40 minutes.

 

While I went to the Gaiety mostly to enjoy the stage show,

I did occasionally have a private show. However, I

never paid $250 nor had a short private show. I guess

if you are naïve, or desperate, or have such low self

esteem you could get taken for a ride. I guess this

explains the bitterness and Schadenfreude with the

Gaiety closings.

 

Finally, you may be right, (even a broken clock is right

two times a day) Yes the Gaiety may never reopen; however,

keep in mind the following:

 

- The Gaiety did not close down because of the NY laws or

lack of customers

 

- Denise successfully ran the Gaiety for years … don’t

think she’s ready for retirement.

 

- There are many strip clubs operating in the NYC and

the surrounding area (unfortunately they have dancing

girls not guys – one recently opened up here in

Westchester County).

 

- The reopening of the Gaiety or a Gaiety-like club is not

beyond the realm of possibility

 

Hope springs eternal!

 

Cheers,

Fisher :-)

Ms. Helena Schadenfreude here.

http://www.schadenfreude.info/

Always happy to provide grist for the mill.

And thank you Fisher for pointing out all of my "flaws"(heee hee-easy as shootin fish in a barrel-or hiring a HUSTLER out of the lovely Gaity and finding out his dick wont work!)

Many more where those came from!

And no,Denise did not retire to Nutley New Jersey,nor Sun City AZ-but to lovely Baker California.

[Guest Fisher]

You’re quite welcome Big Guy (or is it Helena?)

 

> or hiring a HUSTLER out of the lovely Gaity

> and finding out his dick wont work!

 

I never had that problem with a Gaiety hire.

They all were crowbar hard.

 

What I liked about the Gaiety is that the

majority of the dancers were:

 

- very handsome

- had great bodies

- were well endowed :9

 

Even those dancers who were not my type … guys

I would never think of going with, looked great

on stage.

 

Cheers,

Fisher :-)

[bigguyinpasadena]

Well Bully for you Fisher.On my visits to the Gaity over the last10-15 years I never saw a single guy that I thought worthy of my time,or money.And that crowd-jeez the cryptkeeper must have been using the joint as a storage unit,nasty ass old pervs.And CHEEEEEEAAAAPPPP-jesus some of them never opened there wallet-although they got pushy,pushy,pushy if you sat in "their" seatHad to slap one of the codgers just to get him out of my face.!I am sure it was better in the good old days.However I have heard so many horror stories involving the greasy monkies that had ben-whoops Freudian slip-been dancing there that I know there is no reason for me personaly to miss the joint.Nor the Sourpuss Sally that ran the joint.But if that is your idea of a good time-play on.

Now the Clubs in Montreal----there is my happiness.

But,to each there own.

[Guest Rendie]

Cooper,

 

Your brevity says it all, and you are a true Gentleman as well!!

 

Keeping the hope alive..
