Beige Fades to Black (UPDATED)

Sad to read that Beige -- B Bar's longtime Tuesday night gay party -- is ending its run next Tuesday, after nearly two decades of fun. I have so many great memories of this place -- I started going when I arrived in 1998 and can still remember a (really) naked go-go boy dancing above Calvin Klein's head as he sat on a banquette, everyone whispering about "Gloria Vanderbilt's son over there in the corner" and celebrating a number of birthdays there. Even if nothing fabulous was going on, it was just great to hang out in a place that was (by New York standards) so spacious -- and had a big outdoor patio, with year-round Christmas lights adding to the mood. I guess all good things must come to an end, but with its endless popularity, this is something I kind of expected to always be there when I needed it.
