From the UJL Archives

An UmJammer Lammy concert, consisting of the actual band (in human, of course) was held here in 1999. Even on the old MilkCan website (or the UJL Website on Playstation.com), it had a link you can click on that would be about the details about performing at the Roxy NYC.

I do wish it was held over at the Roxy Theater in Hollywood, where Frank Zappa performed the bulk of the Roxy and Elsewhere album in 1974.

Roxy NYC vs The Roxy

the earliest published reference to this club as "Roxy NYC" is 2001, as far as i can tell. it was always known in the press and in conversation as "The Roxy" back in the day. this "Roxy NYC" thing rings like a lead bell clapper. in other words, whoever wrote this is giving the younger generations the impression that it was mainly called Roxy NYC (sounds like a slick name huh? like a marketing person named it) when it was always known as "The Roxy" (sort of classic and eternal, huh?). thanks for reading. cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.176.112 (talk) 09:08, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

In the begging as told by Richard Newhouse

Being that I appear to be the only remaining partner I am taking this opportunity to thank all those who helped me create my dream. Upon my return to NYC (my home), from a multi year walkabout, my good friend Patricia Underwood (ne Moynihan) said "Hey Mr. New how about we go roller skating?". Village Skates, in the West Village of NYC, was where I was reacquainted with what was to become a lifelong love of skating. I feel deeply grateful that I have found something that allows me to dance (on skates) to my favorite music sometimes as many as 4x per week and has endured for over 40 years. I had such a good time that in my naivete I said "I want my own rink". Curiously I just heard a similar story about the origins of reputedly the largest rink in the world - Guptill's Arena in Latham, NY. (more to follow and I do welcome any stories... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard Roxy (talk • contribs) 21:57, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Misleading

I was there. This article overstated the importance of Ruza Blue. She was a promoter. I was a manager of the Roxy, and was often privy to the club owners' feelings about "Cool Lady Blue". One of their issues was that she always had an unreasonably large list of people to let in for free. She was never an owner as this article suggests. Just a promoter. I knew Steve Greenberg, Richard Newhouse, et al. Btw, Greenberg was a genius whose office was the penthouse of Rockefeller Center. The Roxy is what he did in addition to the company he was Chairman of, Anametrics. 70.89.78.170 (talk) 22:53, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
