unfortunately I rarely read your blog, but I will def start too more often. Very well written and insightful about a guy I think I want to know more about and will look forward to see succeed in the future.

where are all the cameras now that they work AGAINST the boys?  Always one to have them when they know its not their fault. Now there doorman finally( and yes hes a fucking doorman not an actor) lost his shit and he and they will pay dearly for what was not a big deal to begin with.  not to mention, Wass is a publicity psycho.  I am sure this just upped his collness factor in that psychotic world that he lives in and romps in and clearly is teethering on the border of.

I’ve known Wass for over 25 years and I am 100% sure the guy deserved it. Wass is a great guy, very level headed, never looses his cool and a total pro at his job.

The cameras at Avenue will tell the true story and you will see Wass is the victim here.

Wass we all love you. Stay strong and don’t let this bother you.

I doubt Wass really hurt this guy too bad, but there is a serious underlying point here.  Club doormen/security/staff cannot put a hand on a patron NO MATTER WHAT.

I happen to know Wass, just from being a regular at all the clubs he has worked the door at for the past 10 years, and he has always treated me with the utmost respect. (even when I had just moved to New York, and gave me the old “not tonight pal” line) He was never verbally abusive, or rude in any way when he was just doing his job. (which of 90% consists of turning people away).

That said, there is no excuse for his actions, and I hope he knows that.

I was outside when it happened. Wass was talking to him and the guy said something i couldnt hear and Wass screamed and took the rope and wrapped it around the guys throat then took the metal end and started wailing on him. The guy fell during all this then Wass stomped on him and smashed him with a metal pole. at the very end Wass urinated on the guy then took a crap on his face.
