Rufus Wainwright mentioning Susanne Bartsch, Walt Paper and Limelight evokes the 90s in NYC. People always comment how Haight Ashbury and the hippies in SF influenced Steve Jobs and the PC revolution. But I don't think anyone properly recalls how club kid culture begat Web 1.0 startups like Pseudo TV & Kozmo.com ;)
I still like the concept of a bohemian space for creative young people to flock to in Manhattan. Like Barbizon 63 in the 1950s and Westbeth in the 1970s. Doesn't really exist anymore except in maybe Bushwick?
