Checking Out The New Wednesday Night Party AT Bungalow 8
Go HERE for more photos from Seana Cavanagh and TAG YOURSELF and YOUR FRIENDS!
We haven’t been to Bungalow 8 since our holiday party, and decided it was time to check in on the old standby. So, Seana and her beau braved the weather and made it out to the new Wednesday night party, hosted by Malik So Chic, that is slowly gaining steam at Bungalow 8. And guess what? Queen Amy Sacco herself stopped in late night to check up on things. She was apparently “super nice.” Other guests included Karmela Lozina, Travis T Wicker, Cameron Nico, Jordan Fox, and Cliff Carson. Next Wednesday, Jessica Stam is promised to make an appearance at the party.

Halloween At Bungalow 8
Go HERE for more photos of this party from JAMIE CHIU and TAG YOURSELF and your friends!
Bungalow 8 may be going through an interesting time right now, but it let’s not forget that it used to be the BEST party on Halloween in this city for YEARS. Rose Bar seems to have taken over as top spot for the socialite Halloween parade of characters, but Bungee is still doing it’s thing, and we sent our lovely Jamie down to 27th street to see what the kids were up to this year. It probably felt weird for the guests to spot a camera crew (which reality show this time?) filming there, at a place that was once infamous for enforcing a strict “no pictures” policy. The place had a complete makeover for the holiday.

The Bungalow 8 Memoir, One Line At A Time, The Most Candid Reminiscences Yet…
Yesterday, the Observer opined on the fate of Bungalow 8, and whether it could ever regain its past prominence as the “epicenter of the city’s nightlife.” Well, we don’t care about the naysayers, we are pushing for a Bungalow revival like it’s 1999 and have gotten floods of emails helping us document the memories from its glory days. Here is a rather detailed and candid email from an anonymous fan of the place. (For the record, we don’t condone drug use). Continue to share your memories, and help bring Bungalow back!
Begin Memoir Here - “I can say in all truthfulness and sincerity (never mind my sanity), that I was at B8 literally every night for at least 3 years straight. It was my home away from home. I had sooooooo many amazing times there with people like Natalie, Santiago, Lauryn, Justin, Jesus (whatever happened to him!!??), Lynn Park, Huey, Uncle Mike, Todd, Dio, Carolina, Ohad, Lily, Darryl, Andrew, Kira, Gordon, Michael and Herve, Shulman, Barkley, Turner, Rudnick, etc….shit I could go on, but then I might be giving myself away. I apparently danced with Justin and Britney one night (which of course I didn’t realize until I was told the next morning by everyone - I took it as a badge of honor that I didn’t know what they looked like yet), I remember Fabian Basabe ‘owning’ or paying rent on one of the tables, giving him exclusive rights to dance on it, I remember Paris Hilton constantly having her security help her cut the bathroom line, I remember going upstairs in the room off the coatcheck room to do lines, More »

The Reincarnation Of Bungalow 8: The Makeover Files
Look at the scene at Bungalow 8 this past Saturday! The reincarnation is well on its way with one of our city’s loviest of ladies leaving her birthday celebration in the hands of Disco and crew. I am bummed I missed out on the celebration, that I was told was “very much like the old Bungalow 8.” I imagine Bungalow was just as thrilled to have her walls filled with socials, and, it was a chance for her to show off the new makeover that happened this September. Can you spot the changes in the photos below?

The Bungalow 8 Reincarnation: Memory Lane
We asked. You answered. In conjunction with our “Revival of Bungalow 8″ efforts, here is our first installment of “Memories From Bungalow 8“:
“Overlooking the crowd from the upstairs, I remarked to a friend of mine “who is that midget with the giant straw hat?! … odd …On the way out we realise it’s Mary-Kate.”
“Or how about watching the disgusted faces from everybody waiting as that untalented, loathsome brat Lindsay Lohan got to repeatedly skip the bathroom line to do lines of another more powdery form?” [Sent by People From Good Homes]

The Bungalow 8 Reincarnation: Send Us Your Favorite Memories
“Bungalow 8 is nothing more than an old building in Chelsea, with potted palmetto trees, faded black and white striped/polka dotted booths, and painted walls that are supposed to make you feel like you are in a cottage at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The “No Vacancy” sign over its door is to remind you that there’s no room for you…unless of course there is, which is entirely up to Disco. The location and decor are irrelevant at this point…because it is the people that bring those walls to life that have made Sacco’s creation a legendary institution.” [Paying Homage To Our Inspiration]
Somethings been swirling around Night Life Land the past couple of weeks that has left us just BESIDES ourselves…we hear that a Bungalow 8 revival is not only in the works, but has been slowly forming as we speak.

The Eye Candy Twins At Bungalow 8
So apparently Amy Sacco’s Monday night fame is still going strong. We will have to be the judge of that, but we just received words that the (HOT) Eye Candy twins will be hosting Monday nights at Bungalow 8. Rolling Stone Magazine named them Europe and Asia’s #1 Hottest Dj’s. There’s no denying that they are HOT…but is their sound good?? Has anyone heard these two live???

Paying Homage To Our Inspiration: Bungalow 8
I want to write about last night’s Rock Band party (was a smashing success), about the dapper Patrick McMullan and his annual St. Patty’s day party, and even how it still makes my week to bump into nonagenarian Zelda Kaplan, dancing the night away underneath her hats that hold the stories of our city’s posh party crowds. But, right now, before I do anything else, I must pay my due respect to Bungalow 8…

Breaking News: Bungalow 8
Last night we met up with one of our favorite night club owners who informed us that, contrary to popular belief and rumors circulating for months now, Ms. Amy Sacco will NOT be moving Bungalow 8’s location. In fact, our (very reliable) source told us that Amy renewed her lease on the space for another 15 YEARS!!! Bungalow 8 started a street (27th) and set the bar for every club/lounge that followed, and now it seems, it is there to stay. We can only hope that Disco will continue his reign as king of the door and not follow in Socialista’s Armin’s footsteps. We also heard that Mansion (yes the Miami hotspot), is getting ready to move into the old Crobar space this fall, and Cain will still be leaving the scene for a more downtown space.
