IN A WORLD CARBON FOOTPRINT AS IS TRACKING THE CALORIES OF BEGINNING MODEL 2000 BUILDING A BUSINESS MODEL AROUND THE DECLINE IS RATHER panties. WELCOME TO DINING DISCO CLUB.
In Los Angeles, it gives diners whose watchword is more subversive today: (Consume Everything.)
Micro phenomenon of this sprawling city socially, Disco Dining Club is a kind of pre-evenings at what Rhonda - the California Club Sandwich during evenings. From 20h to 2h, Courtney Nichols entertains his guests (about 150 events) around a variation of the cosmic music or Italian disco.Tantôt, the theme covers all of the artistic direction of the evening's musical platter to developing the menu. The oyster bar open all night is a kind of common thread between all the diners, as a symbol of decadence became obsolete in these times of economic austerity. We met Courtney Nichols, future lawyer for copyright and hostess Disco Dining Club with a cocktail at Jumbo's Clown Room, burlesque club punk Hollywood.
- Grazia: What is the philosophy of Disco Dining Club?
Courtney Nichols: My main reference is the Paradise Garage, which organized the first underground parties in the late 70s in New York. The DDC is a parenthesis in reality. Especially in the culture of our days is very exciting to feel that you can live like the 1% who hold the world's wealth when it really everyday galley as the other 99%. People come here to be so in the most pure and complete manner whatsoever. Disco is more than a musical genre, it's a lifestyle, a way of thinking. "Consume. Everything" is like the finger at this company. The irony of all this is that we partied like large but with small portfolios. Evenings cost between 80 and 100 euros and include a seated dinner, a wine bar, beer and cocktails and oysters at will. People come and they feel like they give as if they were the Guggenheim.
- Legend has it that you have moved to the middle of the night in Los Angeles ...
Yes, I was studying to become a museum curator at the San Francisco Institute. The city appealed to me but I was going nowhere. At this stage of my life, that would have happened to me anywhere because I landed in New York. It was a sort of rehab 'for me. I did a lot of yoga, I stopped eating gluten, this is the kind of thing that was super important to me in SF. And then one night I woke up with a start and I realized I was not happy and I do not really have the excuse of my youth not to be seen the conditions in which j ' was.
- Is this your first decision is finally adult?
This is the first time I realized I was an adult and responsible. I was twenty-two years. It was also an awareness of American society and its refusal to accept failure. I was studying in a creative field, it was not a reasonable choice that I imposed upon myself. But I had convinced myself that this was what I had to do.
- It's in Los Angeles that are revealed to you then?
Yes, I immediately had a disco epiphany. I met a group of people from different banks that were consumed by this lifestyle. I felt like a debutante ball at his enthronement. I come from a pretty conservative town, even prudish. My personal coming-out was to accept my love for disco and claim it. I think the scene in Los Angeles is a perfect cocktail of humor and ostentatious that I have not really found in New York or San Francisco. In the middle I frequent, people understand the characters they revet costumes out. It does not hide in a corner. It is more the type to pop the champagne into the crowd and there is no need to make a nice picture to remember. Who cares to be ugly, we do not care to have the crazy air because it's quite faithful to reality.
- How you become a master of high-flying ceremony?
I was working at the time on a documentary that is subsequently fell through and I wanted to recreate the surreal dinner Hélène de Rothschild for a scene. I held in my garden, in Beverly Hills for a summer. I made a feast rather than shooting. It was as grand as in reality. Everyone has really been creative in reproduction costumes. There was even an Audrey Hepburn in the dress she wore-cage in 1972. I called the evening "Opium & Opulence" and I had printed invitation cards written backwards. We had to read through a mirror, like the originals.
- What extravagance! What you served to your guests that night?
One of my friends is head and prepared pasta with sea urchin with quail egg and a spoonful of caviar. It was the most decadent dish that I can offer my budget. That accounted for the entirety of my expense for taxes that year. Tonight was miraculous in every way and everyone has really put his.
In the manner of Parisian Club Sandwich, sort of Guetta evenings Fashion Week, the Disco Dining Club is exported. Courtney organized a in Berlin in May and plans to conquer more European cities in 2016. The Bravo TV entertainment channel, the star presenter Andy Cohen is a queer scene icon will broadcast a report on the first anniversary of Disco Dining Club. Courtney promises for this anthology of previous themes to be held on January 30 in Los Angeles, a tenfold decline - the kitchen onto the dance floor.
