Love it or hate it, nightlife is huge here.  And one person determines whether you go home in shame or spend the night in glory.  The doorman.

We asked Under the Sun’s assistant producers, Trina Sargalski and Kenny Malone, to capture the drama of the Velvet Rope.  Little did they know, they’d get roped in, themselves.

    Very amusing; enjoyed the creative presentation, satirizing while reporting.

  2. Lesley Abravanel says:

    This is hilarious. Great job, guys. Alan T needs his own show, no?! And ps: rejection is the new black.

    Lesley,

    An Alan T show would be amazing, although I don’t know about on public radio. It would be very stream of consciousness though! Thanks for helping/listening!

  4. Rick says:

    How about real time Q&A sessions on his site where people could get some good nightlife advice!

  5. Angel says:

    I can’t believe Alan T does for money what I used to do for kicks in the 90s. The man is living the dream!

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
