Steve Adelman's humorous and engaging memoir reflects on his years
as the director and owner of some of the world's most popular
nightclubs, including the Roxy, Limelight, Tunnel, and Palladium in
the heyday of clubs in New York City during the 1980s and 1990s,
followed by Avalon (Boston, Hollywood, NYC, and Singapore
locations), and the New Daisy Theatre in Memphis. Nocturnal
Admissions is a timely, unconventional look at one of pop culture's
most outwardly glamorous, yet misunderstood industries, bringing
the reader backstage into the world of nightlife at its highest
level. Wearing the multiple hats of ringmaster, entrepreneur,
guidance counselor, multimillion-dollar dealmaker, and music
soothsayer, Adelman chronicles an improbable journey from small
town to big city, filled with a cast of characters he could never
have imagined: People named Hedda Lettuce, Jenetalia, Maxi Min, and
Jiggy, who collide with and around the likes of Jack Nicholson,
Bruce Willis, Sir Richard Branson, Leonardo DiCaprio, RuPaul, Rudy
Giuliani, and Snoop Dogg, among many, many others. Navigating city
crackdowns, crazed partners, and cultural differences, Adelman
relates how he watched his Nana out-dance an ex-NFL lineman, was
chastised by Bob Dylan, launched the EDM cultural movement, helped
created the "mash-up" with Perry Farrell, butted heads with Jerry
Falwell, rang in the New Year with Matt Damon's mother, leveraged
porn star Jenna Jameson, relied on advice from felons, almost
pancaked Prince, and built the world's most lavish nightclub.
Nocturnal Admissions is a hilarious, adrenaline-filled ride through
the peak decades of the world's most famous nightclubs and
nightlife scenes.
