Edison Farrow has decided where everyone will be this Sunday. He is again invoking the past with a party celebrating the legendary club, Amnesia. Up until the Opium Group took it over and transformed it into a hip hop haven for Guidos, thugs, and the hoochie mamas who like them, it was a unique gay club known for its reverence for hedonism, foam parties, and drag queens. Oh, yeah; there were the hundreds of nearly naked boys, too, gyrating the night away. A free-standing building, the visitor entered a multi level party with a large atrium; it was possible to actually be in the club and dance under the stars. That was a long time ago, though; the transformation of that area south of Fifth Street into condo heaven heralded the end of hedonism in an area where the rich residents resented the boom-boom of the DJ's wafting up to their balconies. Thanks to Edison those South Beach party animals can relive the past this Sunday, but note the time: 4 PM to 10 PM. No need chancing a noise complaint from idiots who moved to South Beach for the excitement and go to bed at 11.

Ah...the days of "Torpedo's", "Amnesia", etc. are long gone...Fun in the sun, then fun on the dance floor ... replaced by the unimaginative, uptight, structured and rigid ...
