Why We Removed the Stereo Related Posts

Unless you want to travel down the way back machine, you are probably going to have some trouble finding our earlier posts related to the Satsky, Gefter, Mullineaux and Cantor. Why? After receiving some worthless cease and desist orders from some attorneys, we decided to take them down. While we are positive that nothing we posted would ever proven to be libelous, it really isn't worth our time or effort to worry about dealing with half ass accusations.

After all we are only talking about the people that owned and operated Stereo, a little club that had a pretty good run for a few years, but is hardly missed by the nightlife loving public. There have been a thousand clubs that have had runs that were as good or better. These guys just had a pretty ugly falling out, and instead of chalking it up to lessons learned or a bad business deal, they decided to send nasty emails to us to try and settle their differences.

All in all, pretty lame. We are actually glad the lawyers stepped in to remove us from this "Battle of the Pansies". If this doesn't work, maybe we can all meet at Houstons and settle this once and for all.

The Stereo Is Off

According to our buddies at Page Six, Stereo is no more. We can't say we are too sad, our experiences there have been mixed, and in terms of business, the place wasn't all that successful. Crowded yes, but just not that profitable. According to the Sixers, "Club trademark owner Michael Satsky and partner Brian Gefter split from other club part ners and are close to leasing a downtown space for a new venue this year." Probably a good move on their part. These guys are ready to step out on their own and make a go of it. But the real question is: where is there to go? As we have been saying for a while, the place to be is NoChiTo, the little no man's land of space below Nolita and west of Chinatown. You may have heard about some other major players setting up there, and we expect Iron Mike and BG to head down there as well.
