"I Like It, It's Fun, But, You Know, The Crowd Is A Bit Too Yuppish For My Taste"
Which nightlife impresario had this to say about the latest hotspot they spun at, and what spot were they talking about? Find out after the jump....
Nightlife fixture and designer Steve Lewis! Steve was talking about the crowd at Southside, where he DJ'd last sunday night.
Over a phone coversation Monday, Steve let me know what he's been up to (dating, designing, and DJ'ing). He assured me that there's "Nothing wrong with the crowd, just not the downtown crowd I'm used to, they don't seem to have as much heart." Though he also said it was surprisingly mixed well racially. Gotta love Uncle Steve!
In other news: It's been well over the "few week" time-period that Bar Martignetti set for completing the upstairs renovation (the place shuttered it's walls on January 28th). Word on the street is, not much has happened.

well certainly the poor excuse of a restaurant is (but club seems to still be ok). And if they do even end up opening, they are going for a steak feel with multiple taps, the exact preppy crowd that they scorned months ago...don't bite the hand that feeds!

I thought the crowd was pretty good last Sunday - albeit the floor wasn't as batty as at some venues it is still meaningfully better than most. Regardless, seems to me that the venue is still packing in a pretty unique of downtown and uptown folks that not many others in the city do.

hey rachelle . lets set the record straight. southside is a really fun party and i dj'd there for free(my true dj value) because i enjoy it. the crowd is a hip downtown crowd and i especially like the mix of people. the reference was specific to oscar night which was a bit slower than usual and i didnt dj because it was late . i missed my slot due to an oscar party. i was also comparing it to lit which is a art/tattoo/rock crowd which appreciates my brand of punk djing a bit more. i was playing lits 7th anniversary that same night and that crowd was unaffected by the oscars. i definitely play different music at southside than lit. anthony and james run one of the better joints around and i absolutely said that compared to the other spots of that type they mix in all races and different types of people some of which wont appreciate me. it was in no way a negative assessment of the joint.. southside absolutely is a place i like to hang.. and for the record i am dating but having just ended a ltr i'm taking it slow.. thanks for the encouragement... steve

partypants, darling, i like your description of my next girlfriend. i am not looking for dates in my bb "contest". i am dating. the women of bb feel i must not be left on my own to find the next ms lewis as i will surely screw it up once again. the details of the search will be out shortly. i am taking it very seriously and there will be many prizes besides me. i believe one of the prizes is a trip to A.C. where we will enjoy a brett michaels concert. please encourage wonderful intelligent women to apply. and as always thanks for the support. p.s. Q) what does a man of my advanced years wear to a brett michaels concert? A) DEPENDS......

Unfortunately all the women I know drink bush light cans, wear 'I heart to fart' tee shirts, sing Alabama's greatest hits while they drive to wal-mart and have no idea who Mr. Lewis Sir is - though they mighyt apply if you threw in a shamwow. However if my unicorn and I ever tesser to an opposite dimension I'll keep an eye out for an intelligent, attractive woman.

dude, listen. if you want a nice girl dont publicize everywhere youre trying to land a chick. the hot chicks will flee. sounds like partypants is telling you you gotta go after women who dont know about your little plan. its sounds advice.

Maybe he should go the "Eddie Murphy in Raw" route - go to some 3rd world country where they've never heard of Steve Lewis and bring her home and lock her in the house so he knows she didn't go out with him for who he is because she's never heard of him. You know, someplace like Detroit.
