Were there any big parties or clubs that made you want to work in nightlife?
Were there any big parties or clubs that made you want to work in nightlife?
EK: There was a night called Teddy's on Friday nights at the Roosevelt Hotel. I didn't know anyone that threw it, I didn't know anyone that did the door, and it became one of those places I would show up every Friday. I wouldn't ask if anyone was going, I wouldn't text any of my friends, I would just show up to this party, and I knew if I was there ,I would meet people that I wanted to know; I would have a good time. It was the first time in my life I thought 'this is something special, this is something that can be really interesting.’ Nightlife can really be an incubator for all walks of life to find one common ground, to meet and collaborate and do amazing things.[Eamon Kelly]MG:When I came here from Florida, I didn't know a lot of people, and I was figuring out what the next steps were. I saw nightlife as a way of meeting different people from several different industries, whether it's music, fashion, or art. Working, especially with this project, all of those things come together at night. You get to touch and be involved in a lot of different industries, and meet a lot of people you may not if you were doing just one thing or one job.RF: I came into nightlife with no intention of working in nightlife. I was doing fashion stuff at the time. I came here on a different mission and I didn't know anyone, and I figured out really quickly that you can meet a lot of people in nightlife - whether in bars or clubs. And I guess for me, it was a really interesting time as a young kid hanging out and getting into Marquee and Bungalow 8, and meeting a lot of people really fast. I had a guy tell me a long time ago ‘welcome to New York: business happens at night and work happens during the day.’
