2010 Reunion in the works to be held on the site of the garage.. more to come..

First went to the Garage with friends when I lived in Lower East Side 1982. It was spiritual...saw Grace Jones twice, Junior and (British singer) there. Did I see Adeva there? I think so. Amazing but fuzzy memories now. One morning, about 5 or 6, a Gospel choir came in and started singing. Place was the shit. Went with lots of friends who are long gone Alejandro Nunez, Fred Ballestrino, Fred Haines, Pedro Quesada, Freddy Nunez, Reuben Hinorojas, Ricky Johnston...Used to run into people I knew from California, London and Atlanta up on the rooftop. Does the membership list still exist? Would be amazing to see. The base still permeates my bones...

I am flooded with the many wonderful memories of King & Varick. I was 17 when I started going to The Garage; taking the train from da Bronx to meet my friends. Playing it cool, knowing all the while i wanted to scream from the thrill of being in the sweetest place. My friends uptown couldn't understand why i didn't want to go to the usual spots anymore. But, getting lost in the BASS and dance without any care was, as they say, priceless. I feel so blessed to have been there. I, too, still have my t-shirt...yea, bragin'rights.

I wish I could relive those days at the Paradise Garage, there has not been a club that has come close to the fun and music I had at the Garage. Love that house music Larry used to play for us, and the fact that we had no liquor was the best part, these kids today could not hang like we did back in da day. I hope I am around when they have another memorial night and I am in New York for it.

Though Mike Brody had the best spot and Larry was the greatest DJ, what made the Garage was the people. Everyone who went there went to have a good time and left all the attitude at the door. There will never be another. We can only have the memories which will last as long as we live. Rob

There are time when I try to describe to people the experiences we had at the Garage...And always I am left with feelings of elation and frustration...I give props to Kevin and Timmy for the Shelter and keeping the feel alive..Larry Rip..Mel RIP...He and Mike deserve more credit and honor...
So many great memories...

Wowwwwww, what is there to say! The Paradise Garage, the name speaks for itself! It was like enter a kingdom of pure ecstasy & bliss! Larry would put you in this trance & if you had never had the chance to experince one of lifes pure enjoyment! You better ask someboby! The best way I can say it long live the "PARADISE GARAGE" BABYYYYY! Yeah buddy!

Have not danced so much and so hard since then...

The lines to get in or even get the membership card...was worth the wait and i could not wait..anxiety on those friday nights for 10 years and u would do it again. I still feel the floor move when larry was in his zone. The last and final night I cried...
