Flash back to a few days before Halloween, and my facebook inbox was exploding with invites to a “once in a lifetime” Halloween party at Tavern on the Green. It seems like everyone and their mom wanted me to be at this party for the now broke New York City landmark which was trying to re-establish itself as a night spot. And then this happened (you know its serious when local news broadcasts a story on it)
Editors note: The girl at 45 seconds of the video totally looks like the kind of person that would sue for not having her starbucks lid on tight enough.
In the midst of ever present finger pointing, it turns out that many people were sold counterfeit tickets, and the main guys responsible – a certain Alex and Leo Entertainment – pretty much exploded. Now, as always happens in the digital age - a facebook group was created for this mess, and things just became a little more hilarious.
As expected, the promoters now have their phones forwarding calls to Tavern on the Green, Tavern on the Green is blaming the promoters.
Certain guests were stuck waiting up to 5 hours till the police shut the party down at about 1:30, leaving lots of girls with slutty outfits completely sober and accountable for their actions.
There is information on the facebook page about how to get a refund, so if you got screwed over, check them out.
The funniest part of all of this comes from the local news. There is a segment on the local news called “Help Me Howard” where a large intimidating guy yells at bad people. He was covering this fiasco yesterday, and, according to a friend that saw the report, visited one of their houses in Queens but was told they have the swine flu. For the love of everything awesome please help me find that video.
Here’s a pic of what went on outside:
That looks like fun.
Editor’s note: Tavern on the Green is an extremely old and needlessly expensive NYC restaurant that recently tried to bill itself as a nightclub in the evenings to make some money during the recession (people don’t want to buy overpriced food? Noooooo). I’ve been there a few times, and almost every single time it was packed with the Russian equivalent of Guidos. Is there a word for that?
yes just like that
