Limelight is finally dead

Considering I had one of most unpleasant NY nights ever at Limelight/Avalon, I am very happy to hear that this place is not going to make another comeback.

CT’s back to his old insane ways! If you haven’t seen the first episode of RR/RW challenge yet, stop what you’re doing and watch it now. Seriously. At a minimum, skip to 14 minute mark to see CT lose his mind yet again.
