This happens every couple of years. It will blow over in a week or so. Last time I remember they shut down the factory was in 99 I believe when that girl dropped dead in the middle of the dance floor. Just doing it to keep the peace, but will be back very soon. They cannot stop it but can only try to contain it...perception is reality...

I agree...

i heard from one of the narcotic agents whoc losed sf & exit that there doen forever(hes one of my best friends - not a stranger). i said the same thjing that they will be open next week * all he said to me was that what everybody said about twilo,tunnell & the old limelight. they had a 18 month investigation in both clubs buying from bouncers & dealers. he said they also bought drugs in front of one of the owners(phoenix group owns sf).


HE SAID THERE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it all depends on exactly how much they have on the clubs. If they can prove that the owners/management of either one were in any way connected to or endorced/tolerated the sale or use of anything in the club they are done, end of story.

BUT- as it stands right now, factory (as far as i know, and by looking at those pics it seems to back it up) only has been closed with a 'abatement act' which basicly closes a venue until a set court date (which is this thursday for exit and factory) or at least thats what my sources at the NYPD say.

NOW, on the other hand, Exit was served with the same abatement action that factory got, but also got a restraining order placed on the entire premesis that prevents even the owners from entering the building and removing anything from inside. Hence why the press conference for announcing all of this was held outside exit at 8PM on friday nite. I didnt hear about any of this until it hit the news that nite cause i was out all day otherwise i would have attended the press conference and would have a lot more info to pass along. Rumor has it that they are also investigating Exit on charges of Tax Evasion (that might explain the order preventing the owners from removing anything--like their financial records...)

It seems like out of all of this, exit is going to take the big fall. When i first called the NYPD press office that nite when i heard about all this they didnt even mention factory at all to me, after i heard about it later on i had to call back and he had to really dig to find the press release (there were about 4 different versions of it) that had the info on factory on it.

Yeah, it makes sense. Exit had a weird vibe going the last month or so. A lot of the regulars were not around, and I had some strange interactions with people who did not look like club goers. Last friday night this one dude (22ish looking) who looked totally out of place came up to me and asked for some goodies. I told him I don't have any, but if he waited longer most likely he would be approached. So he like, "well how long??" Then he was getting all pushy for me to find someone to "help" him. Then I got pissed (and it takes a lot to get me pissed) so I took him aside and explained to him that it was in his best interest to go away. Another incident like that happened to me the previous week too.

about two months ago i was sittin downstiars on the benches by the bar on the main floor with my gurl waiting for some ppl to come down and meet us when the red room closed and some woman (had to have been about 38 or so, but dressed like a 22 year old slut) came up and asked if i had anything to sell, i said no, she asked if i was rolling (had a bad feeling and didnt trust her) so i said no, and she just kept it up then goin over and askin my gurl (was was mangled) if she was on anything and if she had an 'extra pill to sell' or if we knew where to get some in the club - i'm pretty sure my gurl even said 'what the fuck are you a cop, you look mad old' lol of course she said no, but then she was hanging around by the bars downstairs for the rest of the nite, flurting with the guy bartender there for about 40 minutes (who knows what they were talking about or what he may have told her).

Another nite about 4 weeks ago i was there and all of a sudden about 10 cops swarm down on this one kid throw cuffs on him and drag him away, then proceded to hang out downstairs by the main bar for about a half hour and finally left.

lol, yeah its funny cause they have no idea what to say. i've had a similar interview myself. "are you rolling?"..WTF!! anyone with the slightest club experience has a good idea whats up. there are so many tell-tale signs. i find that undercovers give off a nervous vibe (tend to talk and probe too much) and end up being pushy. i swear i was about to punch that one dude in the teeth. maybe the good ones have little more tatic with their approach. bernie let me know where you are going to party now (bye bye exit , i think you will probably recognize me if we meet up. --john

The owner of Exit probably had to shut the club down due to the abundant smell of Beef Lo Mein and Won Ton Soup with all the chinks that fucking place had!
