When I reported last month that New York City Nightlife was under
attack and asked readers to rally in support, thousands of people
responded in what Gay City News called an "unprecedented
Internet-fueled campaign." The meeting to grant the Roxy a new liquor
license was unfortunately postponed, but has now been rescheduled for
Tuesday, August 12th.

As I said about the meeting last month:

This Tuesday, you have a real opportunity to stand up for New York
City nightlife, which has been increasingly under attack from a small
group of residents. These groups are fighting to end the city's legacy
as a global nightlife destination, attempting to allow fewer licenses
to be issued, closing bars early, and even shutting down some venues.

The historic Roxy nightclub is attempting to reopen, and their
ability to obtain a liquor license may be blocked by Chelsea's fringe
anti-nightlife activists. On Tuesday, you can attend Community Board
Four's Business Licenses & Permits Meeting and ask the Board to
preserve New York's outstanding nightlife.

I've setup this facebook event for you to join and invite your
friends. It's time to fight back against the "wanna-be suburbanites"
(as New York Blade Columnist Allen Roskoff calls them) trying to turn
New York City into a sleepy bedroom community.

See you all on Tuesday!

Committee, 6:30 PM, Tuesday, Aug. 12th, in The Minetta Room of The
