the last party studio 54 disco and the culture of the night
p studio 54 was the icon of excess a place where andy mick bianca and elton lounged in the vip section while patrons did drugs in the fabled unisex bathroom and wannabes waiting for hours outside hoped to catch the eye of the nineteen year old doorman who was for a brief moment the ultimate gatekeeper of cool . p the last party is the story not just of studio 54 but of the whole nightworld vividly recalled by a writer and reveler who was there on opening night and on many many nights thereafter . anthony haden guest takes us past the velvet rope down onto the pounding dance floor up into the polymorphously perverse balcony and into owner steve rubells office where millions of dollars were surreptitiously skimmed from the golden goose . vibrant shocking nonstop and revealing the last party is as packed with sparkle scandal and celebrity as studio 54 itself .
