The Edge Grand Opening 10.10.2002
My girlfriend and I were greeted at the door by the suited, burly bouncer as we tried to walk in…”I’m sorry sir but tonight is invitation only”, as he blocked our path with a wave of his hand. “Oh, good thing I have this…” I said as I pulled the orange invitation out of my pocket. “Thank you sir”, the bouncer offered as he opened the door with the lettered handles.
Jam-packed to the brim, we were confronted with a sea of Hong Kong’s elite, dressed to kill and drinks taboot. We squashed and wiggled our way inside as the band played everyone’s favorite cover tunes. Straight to the bar…we found it easily enough. The booze was overflowing, bartenders pouring drinks like madmen scientists. “Sorry were out of champagne”, one bartender yelled over the music. We scored a couple of beers, grabbed a few cherry jello shots from a passing waiter and squeeze our way through to the last open spot available in the club. The band jammed away with furious energy on tunes like “Break on Through” by the Doors, “By the Way” by RHCP, and “Every Breath You Take” by The Police. We danced and crowd watched, checking out a few of Canto-pop stars and some peculiarly dressed patrons like the afro-sporting 70’s guy dancing with all the hotties. All in all, a very hip experience with loads of club potential and a great addition to the Hong Kong party scene. I know we’ll be back to see more bands and enjoy the plush party atmosphere that only The Edge can offer.
