On Maggie Trudeau and Box Stepping

Some things I learned this weekend from a 300 pound ex 80's circuit boy, who was a regular patron and member of both The Saint and Studio 54:

1. They called them Circuit Parties in the 80's.
2. Before X came on the scene, they used to take a drug called Decadence - which was a combo of LCD LSD, Acid, MDA, coke, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, Pepto Bismal and probably some Metamucil thrown in for good measure (if I remember correctly).
3. His friend The Doctor was the one who discovered that Ketamine made for a great party drug and called it Special K. He didn't happen upon this by accident, but through intensive research. Then when he came up to them at a party and squirted it up their noses, it made the high last for like, 12 hours.
4. He was there when X was discovered too. (when did the name change to E?)
   
5. This one time, a party at The Saint lasted like 36 hours and he and his friends spent $4500 on drugs alone for the weekend. I think he got ripped off.
6. On Sundays, after the parties were over, he'd have everyone over to his penthouse at 4th & Broadway (which work paid the rent for) and he'd have a DJ and everyone would shower at his place and he had jeans and sweatshirts for everyone to change into and then they'd all party until Monday morning and then go to work on Monday morning.
7. He knew Maggie Trudeau and would see her at Studio 54 but wouldn't go over and talk to her because he was afraid that a photographer from the Toronto Sun would take their picture and it would end up on the front page the next day. I hear that happened to poor Maggie a lot.
8. The box step was, and still is, a very popular dance at circuit parties. This information was obtained not through conversation, but through observation.
   
   A few more:
   
9. It's true - the only way to get a job at Studio 54 was to blow Stephen.
10. Everybody tipped the bartenders with a line of coke on the bar. I mean everybody.
