"Becoming A Nightlife Celebrity..." - with Miss Guy

Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties

What do you do when Malcolm McLaren, that hugely influential promoter and manager for punk rock bands like Sex Pistols, Adam and the Ants, and Bow Wow Wow, tells you that he thinks you should move to New York City?

Well, you pack your bags and get moving!

That’s exactly what this week’s guest did, packing his bags and moving with his best friend Lauren after the two got talking to Mr McLaren at a party they attended in their home state, California.

Moving from San Diego in the autumn of 1985, the two were plunged in to the exciting NYC nightlife scene immediately, attending the lost space Boy Bar on their very first night.

And Boy Bar came to be a pretty big deal in Miss Guy's life - but, I'll let her tell you about that.

This is a really great conversation, and another reminder after the conversation a few weeks ago with Sherry Vine of a time when New York City nightlife was vital and throbbing and the centre of the universe...

Do you have any memories of Boy Bar, or clubbing from your own scene that you want to share?
