As soon as I'd get a new flyer, I would post it on the site. So I registered the domain and, using my experience building web sites, created an online calendar listing of upcoming events. This was before Facebook was popular and the information was harder to gather than it is now. After doing this for a couple months, I thought that other people might want the same information we had.
We would then pick what we thought was going to be the best party for that night. Seeing as we had so many options, I would gather up as many club flyers as I could for the upcoming weeks and present the options to the group. At the time, there was a lot going on in the nightlife scene and theme parties were popular. We liked switching things up and not hitting the same places all the time, so we'd cycle through venues in each of these cities. Living in Orange County, we had a wide variety of options within a reasonable driving distance, including: Middletown, Newburgh, Nyack, Poughkeepsie, Monticello, White Plains, Kingston, and New Paltz. My friends and I had graduated college and regularly spent our weekends out on the town. I came up with the concept for Hudson Valley Nightlife in 2003. Posted on January 6th, 2018 by Ryan Smith
