Even though I was never part of the scene, I would go dancing at Disco 2000 and Palladium when Kenny was at the door. He had so much attitude and had an outrageous aesthetic, but he was kind to people when he got to know your face. Also, much of the eighties and early to mid nineties had so much amazing nightlife in NYC. I miss the vibrancy and creativity that would take place after midnight in NY
This is a fact. He hated me and always never let me in any place where he was doing the ropes but after some time plus me getting in regardless, he was cool. Funny though I wore my hat like that way before he did it. Hmmm
I went to all of Kenny Kenny s party s he always greeted me with a smile a compliment he is a charming personality. I would love to see him or contact him.
Fuck me. This brings me back. Kenny Kenny did Danceteria also. What kills me is the people who stand right at the rope with the pleading puppy dog always waited until the very end if at all to get in. Always best to wait on the periphery and chat up a gaggle of pretty girls and walk in with them.
Photographer Patrick McMullen was the guy with the long hair at 2:20. I just found a portrait he took of me and a friend. I'm wearing Nikes that are stacked-up several inches and some Gaultier shirt, lol. The pic looks like it was taken through a purple lens--but it was probably, like, one of the first photoshop applications of ALL TIME, LOL. Ahhhhh. Those were the days! Kenny was ALWAYS fabulous--and he ALWAYS did the door well. (And I LOVE that he's giving you '80's retro... IN THE '90's! Those doorknocker earrings were MUCH more "Hot, Cool & Vicious" than they were Technotronic Featuring Phelly or whoever. He ALWAYS got his 10's.) Suzanne B was also just flawless at all times. And did anyone else start to notice around 4:40 that the beat sounded HOT. It made ME wanna get into that club, yeah!! XO
That brandy whine is so annoying. You can hear him over crowds of thousands. That damn atrocious annoying voice.. idk how anyone could even stand listening to him or being near him period. I have to say several were annoying af.. very shallow self absorbed people.. Nelson was the only one I think that really cared and had feelings for his friends. If Nelson was your friend you had a good one but not even Nelson was treated the same back. I heard after he died they squatted in his house took things even his video camera. Just two weeks after his death their at an outlaw party of Michael Aligs under a bridge and lohoma is using it video taping people and does t even have the nerve to mention Nelson name. None of them do. All those so called people who said they were his friend and not one said a word about his passing or missing him I mean nothing.. it actually made me sick. I’ve heard Michael Alig years later on his Pee ew show with Ernie Glam bring up Nelson. He acted like he hardly knew him. He said well I never really had a conversation with him. I don’t think we were friends I didn’t hang out with him. Making fun of Nelson like hanging with him would been embarrassing now Ernie glam said same thing which he could be telling truth but not damn Micheal . I couldn’t tell you how many videos Nelson has of him. He always went to his parties they knew each other by first name . Micheal even goes to Nelson’s house to celebrate Nelson’s bday. Now he wants to act like he hardly knew him!! That’s just so sad. Well Micheal isn’t here either. I never liked Micheal his aurora was way off. Had bad vibes all the way around. When he murdered Angel it didn’t surprise me cause I knew he could do something like that . He even brags to people about it makes jokes about it until he was eventually found out that he did kill Angel . A very sad bunch tbh. Most are nobodies now or dead . That life didn’t last long cause it was nothing but drug addiction in style.
It's a good thing Nelson took these. These moments would have been lost in time had he not.
"Please stop talking to me, I don't know who you are" lmao
These are great. So glad you captured this, very forward thinking.
Best doorperson in the history of nyc clubs!
Kenny is the BEST…
the art of finessing the velvet rope priceless kenny kenny is a doll

Looks like Roddy Frame from Aztec Camera giving the peace sign at 7:12?

When everyone used the same bathroom and nobody gave a crap!
OMG. Robbie. I remember him so well. RIP.
What was Robbie's name and how did he pass away? I saw him on a Geraldo episode and he seemed very vibrant and cute.
2 many beef injections obviously
5:30 is BrandyWine
My God, the MOUTH on that Brandywine!
U ain’t kidding.. Fckn annoying.
ewww tht ole bag musto who defiled nelson at his tribute.
He didn't. Re-read the article.
Ha ha lol 2:57
Trade tho 😍
I think Nelson knew he was ill. He quit smoking and started chewing gum constantly
This seems humiliating. These people just stand around and hope they get picked to go inside?
They know that there is a limit on capacity, no one is making them wait.
