How Elvis survived the blackout in NY

------------------------------------------------------
Across the city different nightclubbers were having
uniquely different blackout experiences. The Chemical
Brothers, in town to promote a singles collection,
Singles 93-03, were at the 14th-floor midtown offices
of K-Rock. Finished with their interview, Tom and Ed
were ready to leave, but their Astralwerks escort
introduced them to some more people at the station. A
few moments later, the building went dark; had they
left a few minutes earlier, they would have been stuck
in the elevator for an untold number of hours. After
walking down the stairs, Tom and Ed made their way to
the Mercer, and spent the night drinking in the lobby,
where other assorted celebs imbibed,
including Elvis Costello,
Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein, photographer David
LaChapelle, downtown tranny Amanda Lepore (who spent
part of the blackout riding around the East Village in
a rickshaw-like vehicle totally butt naked and
offering photo ops to strangers), and Duran Duran's
Nick Rhodes. (Sadly, Mr. Rhodes couldn't nab a table.)
