ANTONIO CEDENO PRESENTS CLUB FEATHER'S 32ND ANNIVERSARY

From the moment the party was announced the buzz began. I am mystified by the sky-rocketing success that these parties produced in such a short time! Club Feathers has a few geniuses within their mist and all I can say is “Ride the ride!”
Antonio Cedeno Presents Feathers 32nd Anniversary MOVIN’ UP Party and what a party it was! While most night clubs suffer from summer fever and weak week-ends this was not evident from the crowds that packed into Club Feathers to celebrate it 32nd Anniversary ala Antonio Cedeno style. The first sign of a special night in the making was seeing the Dee Jay AWARD WINNING real life couple John Rizzo and Lady Tita manning the lounge floor music system. Oldies, but goodies played through-out the night and the relaxed atmosphere created made it easy to hear requested songs as well as Dee Jay favorites. While Lady Tita dominated the music box, John Rizzo made himself available to customers and shared laughs and stories with all with-in ear shot. It was a great treat to be able to get to know the people behind the music as well as hear GREAT music! John Rizzo, himself, played an important part in last night’s event by bringing in the magnificent superstar DJ/Producer MIKE CRUZ and the incredible INAYA DAY!
MAGNIFICENT was the word for the night. Everyone performed up to expectations and then some. There was a swarm of people pushing to the front of the stage area during INAYA DAY’S performance. She laughed and told stories of her relationship with both DJ Mike Cruz and John Rizzo (Club Feathers has a diamond in John Rizzo and lately he has been shining at the events.)
Mike Cruz brought his signature style and sound that has made him a legend to Club Feathers dance floor. It was hard to get up the stairs and impossible to make your way to the back bar. Antonio found it hard to make his way around the club himself. “I am always amazed and the volume of people that show up! And everyone is having a GREAT time!” Antonio exclaimed as he worked his way to the go-go dancer’s stage and treated his guest with a show of his own.
Eddie, the manager, decorated the club in subtle yellow and black accessories to tie in with the Official GRINDR launch party also presented at the 32nd Anniversary Party. (Only Eddie could find flowers to match-Sunflowers, who would have thought.)www.GRINDR.com is a new dating service offered to the Gay community- check it out.
While all these new and exciting changes are occurring to Club Feathers it was a treat, and a pat on Antonio Cedeno’s shoulder, when the hostess of the nights festivity was the incomparable and notorious Ms. TONY MONA, who returned after a LONG year long absence. Mona was welcomed with thunderous applause and hit the audience with Pink’s “SO WHAT”. I applaud Antonio for not only bringing the club into the 21st century, but for also remembering the clubs past. I asked Mona how she felt being back, “It’s like I never left! Home is home and that is what Feathers is to a lot of people.” Antonio knows that and is determined to preserve the feeling, but redecorate the set up.
Antonio will begin on JULY 2nd when he takes over the Friday night party scene at Club Feathers and what a night he has planned! EVOLUTION---an Antonio Cedeno production…Evolution is the progression of time and energy. See what time and energy has done to the club scene, from pole dancing burlesque to wet dream jock contest. “I have a long list of hot entertainers that want a platform to present their unique talent. Friday nights will be like no other night because each week you will see a progressive change! Customers can participate or just stand back and enjoy. It’s all about the people.” There will be guest bartenders serving up special drinks and guest DJ’s playing to impress. Antonio, himself, will serve as the host of the evening and welcomes not only comments and suggestions, but friendly conversations with all!
