MISSION

I am a New Yorker who by a universal mistake was born in Russia and had to cross continent and then traverse US
to finally find a city with a heartbeat that matched mine.
No other city embraced me. In Moscow I was too outspoken, in Miami too fast, in Chicago too daring.
New York City gave me life.
Its heart and spirit will be forever young as its blood is
always renewed with fresh talent. Dreamers and critics, romantics and seekers, performers and transformers from all over the world strive to make a mark in NYC. Creative renewal is in the air we breathe and every generation of New Yorkers has its own art, nightlife, and social scenes that evolve continuously. Keeping up with all events that are shaping this city is a challenge, but I will try to bring you the fascinating, the beautiful and the outrageous in New York City nightlife with an emphasis on underground electronic music scene which happens to be my favorite fantasy land.
Expect the unexpected

TWILO (The Quotes)

Just so you don't think Wild Child is some obsessive fanatic stuck in the past, I wanted to post some quotes from others who were there. These quotes came from a Twilo scrapbook, that Twilo management put together to thank the inhabitants. The book was released in a very limited edition and thankfully I am a proud owner of one copy. This little book will never wind up on eBay, so you can enjoy quotes here. It will give you a better understanding of the phenomenon of planet Twilo. As usual I ask you to submit your own... Thank You
Yours truly, Wild Child.

You know you're a Twilo-maniac when:

"You bet your friends that you can talk for 2 minutes without mentioning Twilo and you lose"
"You name your new pet cat Twilo"
"You want to name your new pet cat Twilo, but your boyfriend doesn't let you, so you name the cat Junior (after Mr. Vasquez of course) instead. The cat turns out to be a music fanatic, always sitting right next to the speakers, go figure..."
"When you've never been clubbing anywhere in NYC besides Twilo, and don't care to try anywhere else"
"You keep repeating to your friends over and over: Everything else but Twilo is a waste of time and money, a statement met by intense stares bordering on concern, you give up and go to Twilo all by yourself"
"When you factor Twilo expenses into your monthly budget as a fixed expense"
"You cry because you twist your ankle a week before Junior's Birthday party and now can't dance, after the tears dry up, you decide you are going anyway, put on your platforms, tie up the ankle with an elastic band and dance for 8 hours. Surprisingly the ankle heals faster than normal!"

Sum up Twilo in 3 words:

"Priceless group therapy"
"Changed my life"
"Off the hook"
"I am reborn"
"World without thumbs"

Distance does not matter or traveling for a night of dancing @ Twilo:

"20 hours flying and transit time from Dubai to JFK. Once a month every month"
"8 hours, driving from Toronto, Canada"

Twilo or Sex?

"Twilo, I can go without sex for a long time, but can't live without Twilo"
"Sitting on a speaker in Twilo is sex"

    The book actually did recently turn up on amazon and I grabbed it. I used to frequent Twilo on Friday nights from '99 till it closed. I'm sure my friends get sick of hearing my stories about how good it used to be at Twilo back in the day...
