| | rantnrave:// When I was in high school, college and a little thereafter my main job was club promoter. It was fun. Nice cash. But a fleeting hobby. My friends NOAH TEPPERBERG and JASON STRAUSS (with the help of MARC PACKER) took their early club promotion business and turned it into a global empire. No one comes close. Last night on SELMA AVENUE in HOLLYWOOD, they opened the most ambitious nightlife project I've ever seen. They've taken over an entire block and with their signature club brands TAO, BEAUTY & ESSEX, AVENUE, and a new pizza concept called LUCHINI (named after the song). And of course DREAM HOTEL. It's an entire village. Must have been 3,000 people there last night. They did a fantastic job. The design is off the charts. LA (or any city, really) has never seen anything like it. Patrons move from space to space with a decked-out alley to hang in-between. I can only imagine every OSCAR or GRAMMY party in LA essentially taking over the entire block as guests move from venue to venue thus killing the need to move all over time. Congrats to Noah, Jason, Marc, RICH WOLFE, WASS STEVENS, RICH THOMAS and all our friends at TAO GROUP. An amazing creation... I loved these two videos when I was a kid. A witch who makes blueberry pancakes. And a psychedelic pinball animation from SESAME STREET... Type any person of note into GOOGLE search and "net worth" will auto-complete. And we wonder how the dope got into office... Happy Birthday to YNON KREIZ, KEITH RABOIS, CARLY MAYBERRY, RACHEL WEBBER, MEREDITH GELLER, DYLAN STABLEFORD and ERIC PALEY. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
