I'm sure you had no trouble getting past the velvet rope, John. ... 8)

I love that alleged quote from Vanessa Redgrave: "Darling, when they ask you to play Sally Bowles, you play Sally Bowles." ;D

Ha! I NEVER WENT! AND I COULD HAVE GONE!
A fellow who was an acquaintance who was also an intern who worked where I worked--this was '79 through '84--was ALSO a busboy at Studio!
What. A. Fool!
I did go to Xenon ('78 - '84) though! And the Palladium ('85 - whenever) AND, of course: Limelight !
"In the film 54 starring Mike Myers the character of Steve Rubell makes comments to his busboys that bad busboys 'go to Xenon.' "

You have my sympathy for your error in judgment, John, but look at this way: At least you had the opportunity to make that mistake. Those of us who were stuck in the backwoods of Pennsyltucky during those years didn't even had the chance to make the mistake!
And did you dance in your swimsuit at Xenon? 8)

Oh, I probably looked something like these two on the left:

Actually, my (Early-eighties) club uniform was my go-to-work uniform: white oxford button-down shirt, gray trousers, navy Sperry Top-siders with white laces, BIG tortoise shell frames. Sadly, no Silver Paint!)
