No one's ever heard of Starck Club & why that Matters!!!!!!!!!!!

This post is really geared to my Starck pal friends. First, you Starckers should be commended for all the support you've given not just one, but two Starck Club related projects!!! And, that's greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, it must be understand that the truth is NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF STARCK CLUB... Like never, some random, obscure club in Dallas? What, seriously, do what? No one has ever heard of our beloved Starck Club, but everyone's heard of Studio 54. Now, I know this documentary about Starck is ancient history, most of the folks in the film roll their eyes on each WotD FB post... all these years later. Hell, I can't even get my own family to write a review on Amazon, lol! But, I sense a lack of context & self awareness: just because there a few Facebook pages w/ a few thousand likes or followers on each page, every so often D magazine or the Dallas Observer do a story for a local audience, and therefore many Starckers assume everybody over 40 knows about our infamous playpen... They don't!!!! It's some obscure club in Dallas so who gives a shit? Various documentaries have literally almost 5 x 6 times the amount of followers that both Starck doc film pages have, as well as the several pages devoted to the Club.

Lemme tell y'all lil story. I was at a screening of last year's Studio 54 doc directed by Vanity Fair editor/writer Matt Tynauer who's made docs on Valentino, Scotty & the Secret History of Hollywood, as well as several others... Matt is something of an expert on design & Philippe Starck's work, as he's written many pieces on both Ian Schrager & his boutique Hotels (designed by Starck) hence his ability to finally get Ian to open up about Studio 54. I talked to Matt for awhile before the film, and mentioned I was a fan of his work and the pieces on Starck, then mentioned my doc.... And... I got a big, blank look, that turned into embarrassment. Matt admitted despite writing multiple pieces on Philippe he had never heard of Starck Club and was a tad sheepish about it. Think about it y'all, a guy who was an expert on Philippe Starck had never heard of our club... Never!!!  

With that in mind, do we all just wanna let it sink into obscurity, just some sad, pathetic space in the basement of some old brewery Building in downtown Dallas. I 'spose we could. I fully grasp the fact that many, some quite powerful in their chosen endeavors now, don't care to shine a light on past indiscretions...  But, let's be blunt, nobody cares, really. The last 3 Presidents have all had a few publicized hiccups along the way, I mean if POTUS can get away w/ it, what's stopping y'all? Seriously, let's help it live forever. Why? 'Cause look at how polarized we are today. In case you Sociology experts have been asleep on this one, this country has not been this divided & polarized in decades. Maybe A CENTURY! That's right, the closest thing to the divide we see now was Vietnam, but in a few short years after the peak of Troop level in country, and after Tet '68, the tide turned very much against LBJ and the war. Despite Nixon's Silent Majority he was booted out of office less 5 years after taking it.... At Starck Club you had red neck oil man, Cocaine Republicans, and Dallas conservative hoi poll oi dancing alongside Euro & NYC Drag queens. Gay, straight, Bi, Trans didn't matter.... DIDN'T MATTER IN MAYBE THE REDDEST STATE IN THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guys come on, it's not just about a film. WE all know people who won't even talk to family members who voted for Trump (or vice versa voted for HRC.) We're so divided as a country... To be clear, I freely admit I made the second best doc on Starck Club and ask yourselves if people knew or heard of Starck, doncha think we'd have not just one but 2 docs out there about this magical moment in time. The birth of the entire EDM, Rave, Ecstasy scene. MDMA was made illegal because of our lil Starck. Guys, a law was changed because of Starck Club & Dallas. How many shootings/suicides could have been avoided if the research on MDMA & PTSD been allowed to continue instead of being stymied for decades. YES STARCK CLUB DID ALL THAT!!  

I mean, is it really such an effort to just take a minute or two to write a review or pass along a link? It's that much effort? C'mon y'all....... folks, it's not that difficult just to write damn review, hit share, just watch something free on Prime. C'mon guys, this is a time we need a Starck like moment again:) And, most importantly, it's not just about these documentaries,  it's the fact we were inches away from selling the Pilot I'd written loosely based on Starck just last year to a major Studio... Inches away!!

Let's do it... And, hey just have an Amazon Prime double header & see how these two Sex, Drugs, Design: Warriors of the Discotheque compare
