The swingers club, at 712 South St., was closed Nov. 12 by the Department of Licenses and Inspections, which, despite knowing about sex parties at the club since at least August 2001, raided the club as CBS 3 was to air a report about the goings-on there.
"I can confirm we were contacted by Channel 3 regarding an e-mail they received that was threatening in nature," Police Inspector told us yesterday. "But I do not want to elaborate any further regarding the contents of the e-mail or who it was directed to."
Monday evening, Kama Sutra owner sent an e-mail to members saying that CBS 3 "broke the law by secretly taping us, should be punished to the fullest extent under the law and should be disgraced..." Among "guilty parties," Tizer listed Quinones and "the undercover bitch that apparently taped us."
Let us remind the culprits about . Collura, 27, was sentenced earlier this month to up to 23 months in jail, and 14 years probation, for using a Free Library computer to send terroristic threats to Daily News staff.
Kama Sutra, meanwhile, says it has fixed the electrical and fire code issues raised by L&I, and now must apply to the city's Zoning Board for a use registration permit to host a sex club.
According to its Web site: the pleasuregardenclub.com, the club is "located just off of Route 76, by Route 95 and just off the Walt Whitman Bridge from NJ."
Looks like House of Blues, the nationwide rock club chain, will soon pull out of booking shows at the Trocadero (1003 Arch). It's booked the club since May 2004.
Next summer, a 600 capacity House of Blues club/restaurant is slated to open at 15th and Chestnut, atop the Grande, which was formerly the Packard Building. In March, you read exclusively in the Daily News that HOB would be moving into that space.
Reps for the Troc did not get back to us. A spokeswoman for HOB says the company will still book some shows at the Troc "but might not have it exclusively."
He's happy that original Doc Watson's Pub (206 S. 11th) owner 's about to reopen the place. He used to work the door there, as did boxer/actor . Irrera says Cobb's probably tougher than he.
