Given that Paulo (also known as "Lord of the Drums") has played Black Party twice before, this year's version of the Saint-at-Large's Rites make this Paulo's Triple Crown, as it were.

There's anger in the air. Revolutionary fervor. Another headline reads: -openbracket-italic-closebracket-GOVERNMENT DEMOLISHED. NEW BLACK PARTY APPEARS.-openbracket-/italic-closebracket- Taken from the Spanish term "golpe de estado," golpe means coup d'etat: the sudden overthrowing of a state government-which means that, once again, this year's -openbracket-link|http://www.saintatlarge.com/|Black Party-closebracket- invite has caught the American zeitgeist and the revolutionary zeal in the vox populi with uncanny prescience. The Great Recession, with its discomfiting parallels to the final years of the Weimar Republic, has unleashed the demons of debauchery and decadence, with a burning desire for a totally new order-and that's where Black Party XXXI commences.

And now, without further ado, the 2009 BEST OF EDGE: NIGHTLIFE Awards-in which all that is good about the nightlife industry is duly commended and celebrated. Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.edgenewyork.com/?102045 http://www.edgenewyork.com/index.php?ch=parties&sc=&sc2=features&sc3=&id=102045 Given the anxieties and genuine hardships of 2009, it's a relief to finally tally up the year and find what was worthy of celebration. Hence the 2009 BEST OF EDGE: PARTIES Awards list-in which the best parties of 2009 are honored, not only for taking our minds off the hiccups of the real world, but for reminding us that all work and no play makes the world a nasty place. For, as Barbara Ehrenreich reminds us, it is when we come together to play that we find "collective joy"-and subconsciously honor all the good times and good peoples who have come before us. And now, without further ado, the winners of this year's best parties.
