Thanks again for your contributions Long live The LimeLight ......................................................................................................................... Limelight itself is the titanic heart of the New York City club scene. Built within the shell of a vast stone church, it features a massive stage, video screens, stained glass windows, an outdoor garden, several dance floors, a DJ booth/party room suspended over the cavernous main dance floor, numerous futuristic bar stations, and a coat check larger than many other clubs' dance floors. It is the club which all other clubs are compared to, across the United States and much of the world. Primary entry to Limelight is provided through a dark and understated entrance, in front of which the wealthy, creative, and young elite of NYC line up around the block every night. Through the dark, one winds up a narrow spiral staircase into the box office area decorated with artwork, dozens of video monitors, and sinister lighting. Beyond is a tunnel-like area with a wall composed of back lit electron micrograph, access to the back areas through a dark tunnel, and a large mouth-like opening to the right leading to where the pews once were the main dance floor. Packed with hundreds of flailing bodies and speakers of breathtaking size and power, the main dance floor of Limelight has given the venue a nickname: "The Church of Thump-Thump-Thump."
