Beauty Bar’s 15th Anniversary – 11.17.10
After the National Book Awards party last night I headed over to Beauty Bar to help celebrate Beauty Bar’s quinceañera. I have only been around for the last 4 years or so of Beauty Bar’s existence but the place means a lot to me. I have had some amazing times at that bar and some crazy times in their back bathroom. I am not at Beauty Bar as much as I used to be but I tend to stop in Sunday nights still. Hollis James DJ’s old punk and rock and roll on Sundays and there’s only a handful of people in there and it’s my favorite night to just have really good conversations and listen to amazing music. But Beauty Bar gets crazy too and there have been some epic parties there over the years. Just click here to do a search of Driven By Boredom for Beauty Bar to see all the good times.
Also the Beauty Bar NYC managing owner Mike Stewart is one of my favorite people in NYC. Last night he told me he was glad I came and that I was part of the family. That meant a lot. I really love that place.
Last night was just a bunch of old friends getting together. It was a ton of fun and I can’t say much else about the night. I had to leave early because I had a deadline for my book award pictures and I had been out since 4pm and had to get home, but there were a lot of people I love there last night and I wouldn’t have missed that for the world.
