Comfort Zone - I don't get it

Alright, so I'm hoping someone can help me out with this.

I've been to CZ three or four times now, and I can't honestly say I've ever had a good time there. But at the same time, I see loads of people, here and elsewhere, talking about how awesome a time they always seem to have at Zone, and how much they look forward to future events. So I'm trying to figure out why I can't ever enjoy it.

Obviously, the music is awesome. No question. But the atmosphere there just seems so unfriendly and negative. I remember being genuinely scared there on more than one occasion. Is it all just in my head? Am I hanging out in the wrong places? Should I not be talking to people while I'm there? Apparently there's an upstairs....what's there?

Usually what ends up happening when I find myself at zone is that I have trouble getting into the dance floor - because I can't see and am afraid of the people around me. I end up sitting on the patio most of the time and smoking. Either there or in the lounge to the right of the DJ booth.

So I guess what I'm asking is for someone to please explain Comfort Zone to me. I really want to be able to enjoy it, since it is THE afterhours place in Toronto, and I live a 10-15 minute walk away from it, but I just haven't been able to up to this point.

Thanks!

I have never had a shitty time at zone. Everybody has their own purpose of going. Some are for the right and some are for the wrong reasons, but most ppl do have fun. The only thing that sucks about the place is that there are ppl who HAVE to be there .

It's not about where you hang out. You're gonna find an idiot in every corner. Zone has a different atmosphere and a high of it's own. As you probably know already, zone is divided into sections that have names and you should fit into one of those. We all do lol.
My favourite spot is in China Town because there is light there and usually a little more room than the dance floor.

There are certain areas that I stay away from as well. Those include the back area where the "gangsters are" and by the stripper pole.
I have to admit tho...I did feel a little unsafe at at zone once, but some things happened that most ppl are not aware of, and knowing the actual issue, I was a little worried, but then Carlo dropped Trust No.1 and I was back in my game haha

To sum it all up, it all depends on what kind of attitude you come in with. It's pretty much your decision on how your day/night gonna go. It also depends if you are one of those ppl that have to use drugs or just there to listen to the most unbelievable dirt in Toronto and work out for however many hours

p.s. I usually go by myself, and I'm usually never scared! The only thing that always worries me is if my car will still be there when I come out! lol

7-8 years ago the Zone scared me...it is so tame now that Guv actually scares me more.

I love the atmosphere in the CZ......all the people are there to party and listen to great beats...the true lovers go to the zone. Its dark, its dirty, its a place you wouldn't want your mother knowing you go to....its a throw back to better times...imo.

Yes and yes!

There are a million threads about it here and yes, it can be scary but to be honest, go with a bunch of friends, don't stare at the 'characters' in there and you will feel way more welcome.

is it a joke?

ive clubbed pretty much everywhere you possibly can in north america, i lived on south beach for 5 yrs, ive been to some shady spots LA, Vegas, nyc and even in detroit. toronto is my second favorite city to party behing miami cause your edm scene is big, good mix of everything and i love guv cause the talent and the big parties like LOL plus you have the docks too. ive only been to the zone 3 times but i gotta say its the sketchiest afterhours ive ever been too (and ive seen some shit) youve summed up my thoughts on that place. it can take your high and ruin it fast. its not for everyone and hopefully i wont be talk in to going again after SANDER i guess im gonna have to stop my feet from dancing.

theres actually one sketchier than zone

Yes a few of the Zone regulars have told me they are going to some after zone party Sunday night.
If I recall, I think they were Pulse and Funhaus. Were these the ones you had in mind?

yup- the first one

if you guys think comfort zone is sketchy... you should check out pulse or film lounge

In guess it isn't a place for everyone. For me, half the fun in going to guv is all the people I meet there. Hard to do that most of the time at zone. I'll definitely be back some time though. I have a group of close friends that are pretty much regulars. Maybe it'll grow on me.

What is/where is pulse???

Who spins there? etc.

pulse has been called 338 for the past couple of years.

I was there last tuesday! I was one of 5 people that weren't Asian. Wasn't that sketchy though.. or at least people weren't acting like it. 338 is just weird cause no one speaks english. zone has way more cracky people for sure.

I'm definitely with Tiesto Sux & English Rachel on this one. Best bet is to find some friends to go with and hang out near the front, with those in front of the DJ booth. Make your own vibe, feel the music and party. Everyone that goes there semi-regularly has had the 'scare' factor there, but with the right DJ, the right people and the right music, zone will speak to you in ways few other clubs can. I hope you find that moment!

I've heard about Pulse, being predominantly asian, haven't been... Loco (aka Funhaus) is closed for Renos right now (sound proofing etc) but i hear will be quite the cool place when it opens, as an alternative to zone. We shall see!

a friend once tldme that if ur not feeling the zone it means you have to do more drugs

I've been to the Zone sober more times then intoxicated.....the zone is sometimes the only drug I need when I am there.

A year ago I started going to zone after Guv with my non TA friends and then 6 months later I stopped going with non TA friends because they always had to go home earlier than me and I would have to scarifice my fun for them reaching home.Now I choose to go there alone, I have more fun alone then when with my friends........I have ended up making soo many friends there ......I love the Zone and cant think of anything else or any other place when I think about having fun.

Its not for everybody.......Whatever floats your boat.

always sober when i go there.... and have a pretty good time... once i get over some sketch factor

If it doesn't make sense to you after going a few times, it probably never will.

But than again, not everybody had a sadistic side to them.

Like everyone else has said,

If you don't get it, then you probably won't get it.

I love CZ. I don't even find that sketchy at all. I guess it depends on what day you go, and when you go, but I never feel that scared in there.

I've even falling asleep twice in there and didn't have a problem doing it.
