New York City Bartenders & Patrons

Well you can now all see the new Bachelor Party Guide. It was a LOT of work. Let me tell you the history.

I've been asked to put together about 25 bachelor parties. I've NEVER been a bestman, I'm just the guy who gets asked to find the bar, find the strippers, get the thing organized. Last summer, 2 big, life-changing things happened: I met maniac Mark at Who's On First and also sexy Belladonna of Wild Things, Inc. I started getting this idea, from being around them, that they would be experts at this. Maybe a good magazine a story... NO a web guide.

Last November, Bella shot a porno in Mark's bar. It was a riot. It was also a LONG day. So while we were sitting at the bar (this was during the daytime, when the bar was closed), I started interviewing Mark. I did it Q&A style, jotting down notes on the back of darts league rulebooks. I got some incredible material.

One night, not long after, Bella was hanging out at my apartment, waiting for one of her girls to drop off some money from a bachelor party. I told her my idea, and got out my tape recorder. Bella was dead tired, but she talked and talked and talked. I got about an hour on tape. Then I got a second interview a few days later. The hard part was editing Bella, because she is not someone you can just edit. She's total stream of conscience. Bella gave me awesome stories.

Now the hard part. What to put in, and not put in. Since this would be all text, no photos, it was like organizing a jigsaw puzzle. I kicked in some stories of my own. And that's how it came together.

Hopefully, some poor guys will use this guide and have a killer bachelor party, and thank us.... and he'll have it at Mark's bar with Bella's boobs in his face...
