Dear Page Six, Matt Levine, Scott Sartiano And Other Important People In Nightlife21 comments

Leave Brittany Alone

First let me say that I need to take the cast of the Jersey Shore out to lunch because they are paying my rent for the month of January, maybe even February. The Situation and Snookie, hit me up! Ok now on to my letter.

Dear Page Six,

I would like to thank you for using my posts as your “source” in your article about the Jersey Shore cast and Manhattan nightlife. It was great to see a trend I was half-following make it onto the pages that made me want to be a gossip writer. But if you would like to update your item and throw my website on the online version, that would be great. It’s too late for the printed version, but my time will come. Also I find it a little strange that the Eldridge made it into the item, when I retracted the statement about Mike “The Situation” being there (moments after it was printed) but 1Oak was nowhere to be found, and that is the venue that sparked this whole “controversy.” I’m just saying.

Dear Matt Levine,

I understand you are upset that Page Six reported The Situation was at the Eldridge and people have been giving you a hard time about it. Should I have checked with you first? Probably. Am I upset that you’re upset? Of course. But anyone who actually knows you and/or has been to the Eldridge knows you wouldn’t have let him in. And look on the bright side, you’re in an item on PAGE SIX and PEREZ HILTON with NIGHTLIFE GIANTS Tenjune and and you didn’t even have to do anything. In fact you’re going to get a lot more positive press denying this statement to every blog that has reprinted it AND you’ll get to name drop dozens of celebrities that hang out at your spot. And on top of that, what is being said isn’t even true. But my one piece of advice is, stop telling everyone! I didn’t even know it was printed and I’M THE SOURCE! People who had no idea this was happening, because they were too busy spending time with their families (OUT OF STATE), wouldn’t have known about this until Monday and by then, it would have been old news and no one would care! Your Facebook status and those of your friends are reaching more people WHO MATTER than the item or Perez. The fire can’t burn out if you keep fanning it! I am sorry Matt. I’ve never apologized for anything I’ve written and you get my ONE apology for 2009. I am sorry. That’s all.

Dear Scott Sartiano,

Word on the street is I’ve been banned from 1Oak, AGAIN. The first time was for what I said about Kid Cudi and apparently this time it’s for printing your doorstaff let The Situation into Oak. Well unlike Matt Levine, you can’t even get upset because they DID let him into 1Oak and about 50 people tweeted it. I always say how much I love 1Oak and Butter and how amazing I think your company is and the TWO times I say something about people in your club, NOT EVEN ABOUT THE CLUB ITSELF, I get banned. I think you need to take the good with the bad and call it a day. And if my blog is so unimportant, as you say, WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH? I’m just wondering.

Dear Everyone Else,

I am a nightlife blogger. I write about openings, closings, spottings, and other asinine things that thousands of people want to read about. I get more dirt sitting at home than I do when I actually go out because I’m too busy dancing. I’m in law school and would rather have not have the option to go out because maybe I’ll spend more time studying. I understand that some of you don’t like what I write, and I respect that. Some of you hate me and have no idea why anyone cares what I say, and I respect that. But none of you are my FRIENDS, I don’t owe you anything, and you have to accept that. There are only a few people who will never get slapped on this blog and everyone else is fair game.

And to my readers, WAIT until you see what I have in store for 2010. This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Happy Holidays!

    Brittany – I’m a big fan of your site, first off. Anyways, I go to sarah lawrence, (majoring in eng. and econ), just thought id say hello. I read this : http://www.chichi212.com/2009/03/by-brittany-mendenhall-i-dont-know.html and thought i should send you a new mixtape. i too am sick of hearing these awful boring-pre mixed DJs. i make my own shit, ive been spinning for 7 years (bought turntables with my bar mitzvah money ha ha). i intern at a recording studio in mid town, where i record all of my mix tapes. soooo if nothing else, heres a sweet mixtape to throw on your ipod. ive sent it out to a number of promoters etc. i figure you know night life better than anyone, so your feedback would be invaluable to me. enjoy!

    girl, listen,

    im not chachi, jesse marco, sinatra, berrie, or suss.one, but i kill One and Highline ballroom on the weekly. ive played 205, antik, d’or, just spun at an SNL after party for justin timberlake, blake lively yada yada yada.. i’d do your party for 150 – your going to law school, the last thing you need is to be out 500. youll buy 1,000 worth of sound if you hire me.

    lemme know if your interested, ill send you a demo, etc

    These messages say it all. Keep it moving “real dj” or should I say, Jon Wienner?

    this is cute. i enjoy this. lets keep the ball rolling. did i write to you as an 18 year old looking for anywhere to spin? yes. do i consider myself a “real dj”? yes. ive come to see that there is so much wrong with night life in new york that me picking apart your mediocre blog is almost pointless. i could have told you 3 months ago that butter was opening down south, why that is “news” blows my mind. or the lovely banner promoting your friend lindsay luv: she seems really cool and all, but honestly who djs with brass knuckles on? thats not tight, thats just silly. ive had friends that worked with her and only say nice things; but she never owned turntables before last year. it was a disgrace to her first “vinyl” in front of AM’s apt; hers was made of plastic and said serato on it – i was expecting a copy of Pete rock and CL smooth or something. frankly you and i are both pawns in this nightlife scheme. could i rip on you and your blog for any number of things? yes. think about this for a second: people who actually get shit done move in silence. ha! i like reading my 18 year old self. “you know nightlife better than anyone”. made me chuckle. anyways, you can email me all the grammatical errors ive made here, i like having someone proofread my work

  5. Cheshire dog

    lol i don’t know what’s funnier. His last name or him saying i make my own shit and girl, listen haha

  6. Screweverythingbut thmusic

    u rock it out of the park each and every blog entry!

  7. Yeah I know. The source of that feels like an idiot. That why I said the situation being spotted at the eldridge was a rumor, while the other spots were confirmed. Ahh well. Tips after the booze starts flowing are always sketch.

  8. I know. Ha! Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl

    That’s a joke right? This website barely gets over a hundred views a day. There is no way in hell this blog pays your rent. Fake it til you make it I guess. I’m sure this blog will start paying the rent when your True Life: I’m a Hamptons’ Poser airs.

  10. It’s Christmas, shouldn’t you be spending time with your family instead of writing nasty comments on my blog?

  11. lolcatz

    Today is just another day. Just stating facts that’s all. You use this faux blog so you can get into clubs that normally would never let you in.There is no content. There is nothing new. Guest of a Guest already does what you’re trying to do extremely well. Maybe you should get back to your Christmas celebration and ask Santa for some help.

  12. kait

    is “real dj” your (chichi) and lindsay luvs biggest fans or what- he seems to give you both a ton of hits and hit press on this site lol — wow someone is a bitter betty WEINNER- move along and try and compete with these djs u resent the real way- by working, like them- not sitting on blogs and talking shit.. this is just sad on CHRISTMAS. and now ill return to my eggnog

  13. J.D.

    Britt you’re the best.

  14. James goldman

    Lolcatz hit it on the head… The blog is a front for clubs that would otherwise have nothing to do with you… You’re the voice of the people who remain on the wrong side of the velvet rope ;)

  15. And you and lolcatz are the voice of people who dislike me and think my blog doesn’t matter but continue to read and comment. You could have been reading any blog in the world, but you’re reading mine. I appreciate that!

  16. lolcatz

    What’s there to hate on? You basically reblog what other blogs have already posted. There is no original content. A twitter status update is considered breaking news on your site. You’re totally on the pulse of NYC nightlife. Yeah I do read this blog to see how delusional you are about your role in nightlife. You latch on to different djs because that’s the easiest way to free booze and to be cool/exclusive. Stop trying to portray yourself as an insider when you have nothing to back up any of your proclamations.

    Keep doing your thing Britt!!!

    It’s posts like this that make me miss DBTH – but since Scott is done (and Eater doesn’t count), somebody needs to fill the trash talking void in nightlife…I’d do it myself but I can’t stay consistent with posting even though I might have some stuff to say..
