Bittersweet celebration

THIRTYNINEHOTEL’S
|
When thirtyninehotel celebrates its five-year anniversary tomorrow night, the festivities promise to be bittersweet.
The venue that helped spark an arts and entertainment movement which continues to grow and thrive today will lose one of its most vital components when Mark Chittom departs for New York City later this month. It’s safe to say that without him, Chinatown wouldn’t be the nightlife destination it is today.
“In so many ways, he’s always supported me,” said Gelareh Khoie, who teamed up with Richard E.Y. Ralya and Harvey “DJ Harvey” Basset to open the nightspot in June 2004. “I’m devastated. He’s been my number one ally in this sort of ‘disco jihad,’ if you will.”
Chittom was one of the first people to embrace the downtown Honolulu neighborhood as a late-night destination in the mid-’90s, starting off as an nightlife columnist for the Honolulu Weekly before promoting his own parties.
He arrived in Honolulu as a Navy medic in 1991, but was discharged for medical reasons within a year. Following stints at Kapiolani Community College and the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Chittom started writing concert reviews.
“It was around the time the Beastie Boys came and played at Turtle Bay,” he said on Monday. “My first column was a week later.”
