August 7, 2004, thirtyninehotel opens. "From the beginning, the entire thing was very magical. I felt like it was bigger than me or anybody else. it was its own spirit, it was the spirit of love and disco that manifested everything. I was just a vessel."

Crucial to note that I was the first to have Daniele Baldelli play in the U.S. and it was a glorious to meet him and his beautiful wife.
