So Damien wouldn't accept a 5k bribe to get in the club eh? Why bother when you can just show up before 9, get in for free and stay the entire night? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, come on. I've been to Rose Bar. It's a nice place and I had a good time there, but it's not as if it was a vastly better time than nights I've spent at Gansevoort or even lame places like Whiskey Blue. I don't necessarily agree with her criticisms of New York, but I doubt she'd feel differently if she went to the same clubs as you.
Rowan, you haven't been to Rose Bar (or if you have you went before 9 when there's no doorman). In all liklihood you were at the Jade Bar which is right outside Rose. Damien turns away gaggles of models and we've all seen your picture, there is no chance you made it through that door, and I have never in my life seen a girl who was even close to your "league" at Rose (I go at least weekly).
Author: *Blue Smoke* ( rhythm is life and life is rhythm)
When has Rowan ever lied about anything on the board? She's like one of the most reliable, stand-up posters around. I seriously doubt she would make that up
I'm not saying she is lying, I am saying she's mistaken, she may have been at Jade bar and thought it was Rose bar (they're both in the hotel and the door to Rose is right next to Jade).
It's not difficult if you show up before they have anyone controlling the door. Rose is one of the toughest doors in the city, models and other assorted very hot girls are regularly turned away. There is less than a 0% chance you would ever get past Damian if you showed up at an hour that people actually go there (and there is actually a doorman).
Oh, I don't disagree. There's also a less than 0% chance that I'd want to bother.
All the same: I've been there, I've stayed there until quite late, and while the music and the atmosphere are of high quality, it is not vastly more entertaining than any number of other bars.
WHY BOTHER BRIBING HIM WITH 5K WHEN YOU CAN JUST GO THERE BEFORE 9????? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LULZ@NYC MODELS AND BROADWAY ACTRESSES. WEIRD-LOOKING WAIFS AND SPUNKY UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWNS AREN'T EXACTLY LA PLAYMATES AND HOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES NOW ARE THEY????!!!!

even if EVERYTHING he said is true, he's not rich. His father couldn't transfer his wealth to him even if he wanted to without coughing up 50 cents on the dollar. Never gonna happen. He's bragging about KNOWING someone who's rich.
lol at you insecure tools. I like the places I go, because they are the places my friends are at and where I have fun. It's not a big deal to go to these places, you losers make it a huge deal because you have a huge chip on your shoulder about the perceived exclusivity and specifically the excluding of you.
i don't derive my self-esteem from going to these venues. i personally HATE dancing and excessively loud music, so that rules out a lot of nightclubs. i do love plenty of dive bars, sports bars on gamedays, wine bars, and other laid back lounges that are not "exclusive." this whole debate started because insecure posters like jjc and a few others were constantly bashing nyc for being pretentious and having a mediocre nightlife.
lol. right. obviously you don't care. obviously it's not a big deal. that's why you're throwing a hissy fit in the other thread about how pathetic it is to go before the doorman arrives.
You don't see how inherently pathetic it is? I feel sorry for that guy. He wants to be part of a scene that he is not a part of so deperately that he goes to an empty bar and sits there waiting for 4 hours alone so he can pretend he belongs when it fills up. That is pretty much the definition of pathetic.
Everyone on xoxo has their specific topics they have particular knowledge on. Valen appears in every thread on Russia or military hardware, Rowan shows up in every relationship advice thread, I comment in nightlife threads. I am not going to pretend to be an expert on things i'm not qualified to comment on (like most of xoxo does), but I like to share my insight when I actually have valid information. However, when xoxo doesn't like what they hear, they want to discount that and believe what they want to believe. I will continue offering my opinions.

bitter and jealous that anyone can go to Rose Bar? must be it.
btw - which is it? are there tons of people in manhattan who would gladly drop 5k just to get in the door even though Damien would never let it happen? Or are the people so self-respecting they'd never even show up an hour or two early to get in without the fuss? Or do you really expect us to believe it's both, that there are people who'd gladly drop 5k (even though it'd never happen) instead of showing up an hour or two early?
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:09 PM Author: Cheese-eating cruise ship
Ugly people like myself and Rowan have to show up 4 hours early, but all the rich ibankers would pay 5k but are STILL rejected. Along with assorted supermodels.
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:12 PM Author: Lake famous landscape painting
BS, I don't even have a problem with you. We're into different things and that's fine, but if the board wants to talk about things more in my wheelhouse, they have no right to get pissed off when I give them an honest opinion about it.
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:18 PM Author: Histrionic pungent hall alpha
the only one pissed off here is you. seriously. and you're certainly not the only one who can talk about Rose Bar. Rowan's been there too. Seems a pretty easy place to get in. Let's have our next xo meetup there.
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:18 PM Author: Cheese-eating cruise ship
ok...
yea I honestly just don't think we're into the same scene. I *loved* my first time in Vegas, for example. And you hate Vegas. But then again I'm an alcoholic and the idea of no closing times and drinking 24/7 appeals to me. Without a doubt, if I won the $300 million lottery I would get a suite in the Mandalay Bay and just stay there for the rest of my life. Best place on earth if you're rich and have assorted dependencies.
Date: June 27th, 2008 1:43 PM Author: Histrionic pungent hall alpha
yeah, true. He's into Rose Bar from 11-4, Rowan's into Rose Bar from 9:30-2, i'm sure you're into Rose Bar from 8-12, it'd never work out. Y'all just be too different.
Eh, to be fair, I've been to the place twice, but it's not like I'd consider that my scene. I more commonly go for places that are more relaxed, both in terms of atmosphere and exclusivity.
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:09 PM Author: Lake famous landscape painting
This was addressed in the other thread, surely in your megaposter thread scanning you didn't miss the answer so don't play dumb.
However, to summarize: 5k wouldn't get them in, the type of people willing to pay 5k would not be willing to sit in an empty bar for 4 hours just to be there, because they realize how pathetic that is and it would damage their vision of what they are as big bankers.
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:15 PM Author: Histrionic pungent hall alpha
LOL SO IT'S PATHETIC TO SIT IN A BAR FOR AN HOUR TWO BEFORE IT STARTS GETTIN' GOOD BUT IT'S NOT PATHETIC TO TRY TO BRIBE YOUR WAY INTO A CLUB FOR 5K AND GET TURNED DOWN???!!!!!!!!
btw, Mark Cuban, a certified billionaire, tried to bribe his way into a club for $1,000. But you think a gaggle of bankers with a $3 million net worth are going to be tossing out $5,000 like it's nothing? And you think a doorman making chump change won't take it? LOL come on bro.
Rolls Royce sells about 500 cars a year. Maybach about half that. There are way more than 750 people a yaer who want and can afford these cars but yet they don't sell more. Most people are not nearly as bad with money as you think they are.
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:17 PM Author: Lake famous landscape painting
Trying to bribe your way in whether successful or not is also pathetic, and yes sitting in a bar for 4 hours alone because you wouldn't otherwise be allowed in is pathetic. Also, Cuban tried to bribe his way in Bungalow 8 and was rejected
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:23 PM Author: Histrionic pungent hall alpha
it's cool, I'll just chill at Rose Bar and practice taking my LSATs from 9 til about 11 when it gets poppin'. So easy to get in. Almost as exclusive as getting on Space Mountain at 8 pm on a Saturday.
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:12 PM Author: ungodly mind-boggling nursing home idiot
The really fucked up thing is that most people don't care about exclusive clubs past age 19 or so. All they want to do is hang out in a cool environment with their friends. Your pathetic obsession and name-dropping of doormen makes you look like an immature douche.
Date: June 26th, 2008 4:17 PM Author: Histrionic pungent hall alpha
rememeber when that xo guy described Damien and he went nuts claiming he must have seen him and then got turned away? and then claimed that the guyy's description of the interior wasn't detailed enough and was pulled from the website? LOL classic.
Date: June 27th, 2008 11:40 AM Author: Histrionic pungent hall alpha
His statements, see if you can spot the contradictions:
1) it's impossible to get in.
2) it's possible to get in if you sneak in through the front door.
3) only hot people are allowed in.
4) ugly hotel guests have a chance of getting in.
5) Rowan was lying about getting in
6) Rowan was mistaken about getting in.
7) Rowan snuck in like a criminal (through the front door)
8) Rowan can't judge the quality of people there because she went there early.
9) Rowan can't judge teh quality of people there because even though she stayed late, she didn't fit in so it impacted her judgment.
10) It's pathetic that Bankers would try to bribe Damien with 5k and be turned away
11) Bankers have too much self-respect to go to Rose bar an hour or two earlier rather than peak hours. In other words, it's self-respecting to attempt to bribe a doorman with 5k rather than walk in through the front door for free by showing up an hour or two before peak hours.
12) Rowan and Bluesmoke have no clue about NYC nightlife because they enjoy different scenes. Apparently the 9-2 Rose Bar scene is bastly different than the 11-3 Rose Bar Scene.

1) in the 8 minutes it took you to post this, muse upon all the other projects/goals in your life that would have been that many minutes closer to completion.
2) search "white g" and see how many threads that show up in the results
3) now consider that this is only a single search; consider all the other threads you've started not encompassed by this.
4) add this up to estimate a total number of hours you've spent here over the past 4 years
5) ask yourself: "is this the most i can expect from my limited time on this earth?"

It's not about deriving self worth you simple moron, it's about not having your life and eveningf dictated to you by a bar. I don't go out at 9:30, because it's way too early. I like going to a bar when I want to be there, not being forced to scurry in 3 hours before I want to be there.

This entire topic by SY, the fact that he has posted non-stop for probably 2-3 days waiting at the ready for every post I make and responding = an obsession. I participated in this debate because the thread called me out and it was related to a previous debate involving NY nightlife which is a subject I usually comment on. What exactly drew you to this thread other than your pathetic obsession with me?
Date: June 27th, 2008 6:03 PM Author: Lake famous landscape painting
I've provided proof to back up my claims. However the fact that my life, which is nothing special is so much better than yours that you assume I must be making it up is lulzy. Sorry

1. No one actually tries to bribe door people because it is completely pathetic (this is a falacy Pensive who also has never left his apt. came up with)
2. At good places, the bribe would be refused (as SY noted earlier Mark Cuban was denied at B8, tried to bribe his way in and was still denied.)
Date: June 27th, 2008 12:42 PM Author: Metal telephone
totally credited. i've seen so many guys try to bribe their way into a club and get refused. a few weeks ago i saw a guy who tried to get into socialista offer the doorman, Jeff, a wad of $100 bills. after he refused, the douchebag offered his fucking watch, which must have cost at least $10K. Jeff told him to fuck off, and the guy starts yelling and huffing. it was both amusing and sad to watch this.
Date: June 27th, 2008 1:02 PM Author: Lake famous landscape painting
That link is about Las Vegas. Do you not realize that things are different in different cities? To other guy, that sounds almost too pathetic to have happened, someone offering their watch for entrance?
Date: June 27th, 2008 1:18 PM Author: Metal telephone
Yes; it happened. i was standing next to jeff when it occurred. the guy was drunk though, so maybe he had no idea what he really was doing. it was a nice fucking watch though.
Date: June 27th, 2008 1:55 PM Author: Metal telephone
yeah, because there's no dumb rich people in NYC, right?
there was an interview with Wazz, the doorman at Marquee (believe it or not, it was actually good back in 2004), and he said a guy once offered him the keys to his SUV in exchange for entrance. incredibly idiotic? absolutely. but there's a lot of rich douchebags in this city who do stupid shit when they're drunk or pissed. if you actually go out instead of masturbating to pics of WGWAG, you would know more about this.
Date: June 27th, 2008 2:01 PM Author: Peach Gaping
if there are so many dumb rich people, why does Rolls Royce only sell 500 cars a year? Maybach, half that.
Possible? Sure. Likely? as likely as T7Stud's 40k watch. But i can almost guarantee Wazz, Jeff, or Damien would take the 5k without hesitation. And if they didn't, it'd have more to do with their over-inflated sense of importance than anything to do with the "integrity" of the club, job, or anything of that nature.
and it's not even just the absurdity of the idea that there's a pride of ibankers willing to drop 5k for entrance, it's the idea that they'd be so pathetic and prefer that over just getting there an hour or two early and getting in for free without hassle. sorry, almost nobody's that stupid.
Date: June 27th, 2008 2:07 PM Author: Metal telephone
you're right. when i need to know more about nightlife or going out, i should turn to a socially inept asian living in his mom's basement, eating kimchee and fried rice.
it's clear that you never go out and know nothing about topics like wealth, travelling, nightlife, women, socializing, friends.
Date: June 27th, 2008 2:17 PM Author: Peach Gaping
racist ad hominems when you can't refute a point. wow, that's novel. have fun with your exclusive buddies Jeff and Sorry. I'll meet you guys at Rose Bar later tonight. I"ll be there with JBD, JJC, Whokebe, and AK47. We'll get there around 9:30. We'll be at the bar waiting for you around 11. It'll be fun and exclusive. I'd invite you to go to Outback with us around 7:30 but I already made the reservations and that place is so exclusive you actually have to wait when you get there. It's not like Rose Bar where you jsut walk right in.
Date: June 27th, 2008 1:40 PM Author: Histrionic pungent hall alpha
1) why bother when you can just get in for free without hassle at 9:30? oh i forgot, you have to have your life and evening dictated to you by some internet psycho who tells you what time you should get there.
2) this contradicts your first statement. Wow more contradictions, shocking.
3) more ad hominems? why don't you spend another 8 hours arguing minutiae with JJC and not spend 8 seconds refuting any of my points?

Fair enough (although that by no means rules him out from running SY as well). I don't think i'll be retiring because a mentally ill megaposter doesn't approve of my taste in bars though, thanks.
Date: June 27th, 2008 6:15 PM Author: Lake famous landscape painting
I plan to. I don't see where I got "pwned" in this thread anyway. As usual it's a bunch of loser shut ins who want to pretend they know more about a topic they have no experience with than someone who does. I'm sure SY who has never left his apt. or been to any places discussed has a more valid opinion than someone who goes weekly. If you cut and paste it enough times it must be true!
