Disco bloodbath: It appears that Avalon NYC is fighting back against all the attention and adoration the now-opening Pacha NYC is getting. Publicists for Avalon today released the club's December schedule, stating, interestingly enough, that "Avalon will be full of soirees that bring back the love to 'I heart NY.'" Hmm. Isn't Pacha using the "I heart NY" icon, replaced with Pacha's own iconic cherries? Here's Avalon NYC's December dance music lineup:
