Originally posted by Sean Cassidy Finally - my review are you ready??? This evening was an important one for me for many reasons. First of all - the fact that I would be seeing a lot of people that I haven't seen for a while and some that I knew I didn't want to see this night had alot of possibilities for interaction on many levels. That said I spent an enjoyable evening with my friend Mikey and was quite looking forward to the fact that it was his first real clubbing experience and of course as an ambassador of good times I wanted him to have an awesome/perfect/drama free time. It also put me in an awesome mood to start the evening because if worse came to worse I had one person there to spend the night with in case all else failed. So we got to the Gallery at around 10:30 worried about a potential line-up that wasn't there because the doors never opened until almost 11:30 - UGGHH - that bothered me - because of course we were on the list (thanks PAT!!!) and we were supposed to just waltz right in like VIP - again - for me personally I didn't care as much (though it was F'ING COLD!!) LOL! But ya - perfect scenario didn't happen and we waited outside for like an hour - but the conversations outside with Christina and a few other TA's made the wait go by much faster - WIKKID! So Addy finally shows up and the music is turned on and we are allowed in.......and of course it was quite cold in the Gallery - and took a while for it to stay warm as the door set-up isnt the best and whenever the door opened cold air came rushing in. This was also my first experience in the Gallery - nice set-up - good sound and friendly bar staff. It is true that Addy's mixing was very off and was not to the standard that I have seen him at dozens of times over the last 7 years. But Mikey and I mingled and made sure to introduce him to everyone. I did find the Gallery to be a bit stuffy/uptight with people and not very relaxing as people seemed to be waiting to get their party on but I made the best of it with Mikey, Angelo and his crew that were already smashed (HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELO WOOT!!). Danced a bit and partied it up with some of the TA's and also talked a fair bit with Erin (DEKO-ZE's manager - WIKKID girl - I love Erin!!!) and saw a few homo's that I hadn't seen in a while either. Makes sense - they are the same crowd that goes to 5ive for Sidney Blue and Deko-Ze when he used to spin there on Sundays. And of course some Comfort Zone people as these DJ's in the Gallery are all COZO residents as well. I had an alright time in the Gallery - I really wasn't feeling the music - also maybe because I was totally sober as well - LOL! Who knows - also I did have some other shit on my mind as well - as most of you know full well from the one thread that carried on most of last week. A couple of drinks later (thanks Angelo, Mark and Erin!!!) and some funny situations (like Asian dude going into the guys bathroom and throwing up all over the urinals - SPEEDY PILLS MAYBE???) and then walking out with this 10 foot trail of paper towel stuck to the bottom of his foot - HAHAHAA - CLASSIC!! I was ready to get the night started and was waiting for some good hard beats - which sorta came but didn't. Seeing someone do GHB didn't help my mood either - like I needed to see that! (on a sidenote - if Nada saw this shit as I did - sketchy Asian speedy pill throw-up dude, G-Whores and Co-Zo/gay crowd - these were the MASHED-UP people she is talking about I am sure and as I saw it as well sketch was there - but most of the TA's were hardly mashed up because we had yet to hit the main room and dose - LOL!!!) But regardless - I knew soon enough the main room would open and Marco V would proceed to bring on the beats and I was looking more forward to that than anything else. Again I also had a Guvernment nOObie with me and couldn't wait to see the look on his face when we entered the main room. So we stuck it out and Mikey actually mentioned around 2:30 - isn't that other room open yet?? I was like sure ya wanna go - he was like ya - no more house! I want something harder!!! (keep your minds clean guys -LOL!!!) so anyways we headed into the main room - passing through the Orange Room and I lost Mikey - I kinda panicked for a second (poor little gay boy around all those hip-hop hoodies) but realized he thought he saw BEACH420 and went to say hi only to have the girl say WTF?? He laughed OOOPS! Have fun - we are going to MARCO V - WIKKID! - LOL! Well we went into the main room and he was like "HOLY FAAACK!!!! I had no idea it would look like this??? - I thought it would be like the gallery only bigger!!" These are the beats that I like WIKKID!" So I proceeded to wander up to the front where Jenn, Drew, Dannie, Fahad, Tyler, Kelly, Jay, Paula were and after making sure that everyone was introduced to Mikey began the night propper. (another sidenote - I think Mikey met over 40 of you that night - and the fact that he made a point to introduce HIMSELF to everyone with a big smile and kindness - is rare at these TA events - I have been going out to these parties with you guys for months now and have still to meet some of you - either from your own shyness or me not noticing you. I was so glad that Mike is the type of person to be open, eager, and outgoing - again he was in for the night of his life - maybe that had something to do with it - he threw himself into the night and made the most out of it that he could. So the music was good - I heard a lot of songs that I liked - heading up to the stage with Mikey in tow - we danced along side Paula, Dan, Starsearcher, Cyper, and TORE IT UP! Mikey was happy he had glowsticks (thanks Dan - but you were standing there with your eyes closed not using them - remember - LOL!!!). And we proceeded to have a great time - I enjoy the crowds when manouvering through them to get to the bathrooms for much needed water fill-ups (challenge me - I am a quick mother******!) and everytime I came back Mikey had someone else he was chatting up and throwing it down like a pro with. I remember at one point a song came on and Dan was like I know this song it starts with a C or something I am like hmmm - I know it too what is it - Dan was like Marcel Woods - ADVANCED - OH SHIT!! I looked over the crowd and before that midline/arpeggio sound kicked in - I yelled out MARCEL WOODS WHAT?!?!?!?! That got a few WOOHOO'S!!! and then the baseline kicked in and we LOST IT! I thought it was true - that his set was better in February at he did play much harder then - but with Mikey, Paula, Dan, Cyper on the stage - I had a WIKKID WIKKID time! I had not been out to to the GUV since Oct 1 for Dekay and I had missed the BIGROOM vibe and I felt it that night - the dancers on the podiums were excellent and the crowd in general was much less pushy and a hell lot more space to dance than normal. Combined with Mikey having a WIKKID time and the TA's that I love the most being there made up for a less than stellar tracklisting - this night was more about the people I was with and the good times we were obviously having. The time flew by - say MarkT (thanks for the talk brother - you are a good friend to me!), MusicSnob, ChrisMack, Beanie Boy, and TATGIRL - WOOT WOOT - CONGRATS!!!! - Nice conversations with you as always and thanks for the MArcoV armband! WOOT! Chem-Enhanced and Moral Hazard - I mentioned finally the both of you in the same room - THE ODDS! - THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON!!!LOL!! Nada, Ali - WOOT WOOT! So nice to see you again - you are awesome and thanks for the nice gestures you always extend to me. And yes it is true after the group photo we took with Marco V - Nada grabbed my hand and we went to dance the two of us in our own space and if Armin Van Buuren - Shivers - did not automatically come on at that moment. WOW - a flood of memories rushed over me - NADA COTTAGE WHAT??? - COOKING CHICKEN FOR 6+ HOURS WHEN THE CHICKEN WAS ALREADY COOKED WHAT???? - AVB - SHIVERS!!!!!! WHAT!?!?!?!? One of the highlights of my summer was that weekend at the cottage - and as many had posted in that review thread - when that song was dropped in the basement of the Tyrolean Cottage - tears of happiness were shead as we LOST IT HARDCORE DANCESTYLEE that early morning August 21 2005. If I had not known fate/coincidence to step in when it had - I would have sworn that Nada had Mark Oliver play that song at that moment specifically - and that was the reason for grabbing me away from Mikey and the TA crew and proceeded to throw it down just the 2 of us. Ali just stood back and watched us go and we had this other guy (cute I might add) get hyped with us and added to the moment with his copy cat enthusiam!!! - WIKKID WIKKID BRING IT UP BRING IT UP! Definitely a highlight of my night - thank you Nada!!! I am glad you stayed long enough for it to happen. MUAHH!!! I then said my goodbyes to Nada and Ali and Jenn and then proceeded to tear it up for a bit to Mark Oliver - interesting track listing for sure - lots of unexpected songs but having Nathalie freak out when they played that HEADLIGHTS track was funny - I am like POST THAT SHIT! someone will know!!! And sure enough - we are teh smartest trainspotters out there and question answered not a problem! I left with Mikey around 7 or so and after saying our goodbyes (Mikey was as good at his hellos as he was at his goodbyes!) left the club and headed back to his place. Mark and Val saw us walking and drove us home WOOT - THANK YOU AGAIN! And we tried to sleep....... but that didn't happen. Such a fun time was had that he wouldn't shut up about the night! LOL!! So now I have a GUV whore on my hands - he wants to come again on Saturday - and of course I will oblige. Thanks to everyone who made this long overdue night out FUN FUN FUN and DRAMA free and so much fun for my friend Mikey from Fort Erie. WIKKID WIKKID WHAT?!??! UH-HUH THAT'S MY SHIT!

I POSTED A WIKKID REVIEW AND NO-ONE CARES!!!


JOKES!! LOL!


particulars and what have you can be picked apart and bitched about - but the bottom line is the fact that I HAD AN AWESOME TIME ON DEC 10 2005!!!

everytime we go out - it is not going to be better than the previous event every single time. Some nights are less memorable than others for many reasons (music, people, sketch, drama, bad drugs, lack of funds, or your outfit just doesn't come together in the way you wanted!!!!)

a review is a review it is your take on a situation/event/place/venue and as such is an opinion that is valid no matter who the speaker is.

Some people are more vocal and upfront than others too and that sometimes can cause problems for those that disagree with bold comments and cant deal via various communication options (PM, MSN, email..etc).

Verbal attacks personally on these forums are never nice and when they happen to you personally then you do have a right to be upset and defend - but first determine why something is said and then look at who/why it might have been said and was it really directed towards you to begin with. If it was - it is not that hard to flush one out - trust me - but if it was a misunderstanding of ego's then we have a problem and this break down which occured in this thread is an example of over-reaction of an opinion on one night in particular and as an isolated incident - holds no real bearing on the longevity of the Gallery.

The gallery is a permanent fixture of the GUV - with the DJ's they book (Deko-ze, Sydney, Addy etc) it will always have a following for the DJ's despite who is there (patron-wise) on any given night. One or two peoples opinion will not sway the hundreds that will enjoy the night and space and that is FACT because it is not a stand-alone club.

Now if this was the opening night at a stand-alone club than vicious comments could hold great bearing on the longevity - ARC for example - though a different clientele base - GAY people (which for the record they are the hardest to please with their bitchy posturing and attitudes and because it is very clickish not pleasing the so called "right people" and coddling them can kill a club in its infancy - trust me I have seen it aplenty over the last 5 years......) this is horrible and disgusting and 90% the reason why I don't bother with that scene (other 10% because the music is SHITE! - well maybe more than 10% ) - you thought TA was bad for DRAMA - WTF!!!! You have not seen SHIT compared to the cattiness and bullshit that eminates from their clubs on/in Church Street/Gay Village. Everyone is a fucking "superstar" with their heads up their asses and Toronto GAYS have a terrible rap for being standoffish and rude. MONTREAL BEATS US HANDS DOWN - PWNS TORONTO - FACT!

With that being said - vicious comments can cause damage it is true - but only if the people saying them are allowed to cause such damage - a word has as much power behind it as you let it have - otherwise it is just a word. It is true people sometimes act like blind sheep and lemmings on a daily basis in their day to day lives - but if one really likes something or someone - no matter what someones says it will not change your mind. At least that is how it seems to me.

Stand confident in your convictions and trust what you know is right and nothing can stand between you and your personal happiness. Not everyone will agree (nor should they - BORING!) and that's what makes things interesting and diverse.

DIVERSITY is wonderful and I look forward to the diverse crowds that will attend the Gallery in the future.

I can get my STRAIGHT on - my GAY on and my FREAK on - all in one spot and that's as Martha would say - A GOOD THING!!!

That is definatly one long review!

So you expected what, a fantasy world unlike real life where everyone with an opinion and a keyboard can be a total jackass without ever having to talk to you face to face or make their identity known?

If you want fiction then go read a book.

Originally posted by TranceGrooves what a joke. i kept quite but not now since u decide to bring the promoters thing in this. so here it goes. first off this is a review thread. in case u dont understand the meaning of review i shall clarify it for you and everyone else who has their head stuck up their ass in this thread. in a review thread ppl write about their experience of the club at a certain night. may it be good or bad. they write about the music the crowd and everything in between. with that being said if Nada or for that matter anyone else who writes about gallery or any other room being slow jam and ppl looking x-tra mashed up who the hell are you to label them as a noob and directly make a attack on them as attention needing ppl ? does sumone have to be highly qualified to comment on music and the crowd ? just because u know certain things more than the other person dpoesnt give u the right to call them n00b. they may know little about one thing and then know alot about the other. and if Nad's comment bothered you sooo much .... why wont you act like an adult and just kindly pm her and say u have a problem with it and ask if she would re word it? i mean that would be the adult thing to do. to me thats more disrespectful than anything else. u went on to rant about how it is disrespectful to other TAs so let me ask you this oh thy supreme lord of Gallery ... what exactly do u mean by " her blind followers " .i am her good friend actually she is like a sister to me so would it be me thats a blind follower? ( and dont think this reply is because of that cos if it was i would have wrote something much earlier) and just cos one doesnt have a good time at a certain night in the club or certain room of the club it doesnt mean that they will never go. just in case you forgot to read that. now to the promoter thing. i dont know if you are a promoter for gallery but if you are then i certainly hope this is not how you handle all things with your promotions. as a promoter u shud know people would write good bad and ugly about anything and everything. it is what the nature of this business is. if you cant handle it then dont get into it. if you throw a hissy fit every single time sumone says something bad about gallery then my fellow ta i have news for you. you wont last long in the promotions industry. if a comment made by one person u see harmful then what it implies is that u r taking it in a way where u think that ppl would stop coming to gallery and maybe you will loose your cut. and plz do tell me how does tribers and houseaddicts fit into all this ???? Sean dood how the fawk do u write them look book stories :S dont ur fingers hurt? mine r killing me now i think its time for crown royal on da rocks on another note dude r u serious ???? free passes to Gallery get whored out on the weekends in club district like there is no tomorrow. what VIP and what guestlist are you talking about ???? maybe u shud start listening to yourself and doing what u type. right of the bat u told she is Quarked. is that choosing words carefully on your part ? and if you are not x tra mashed up and none of your friends are then just move along. why make a big deal?

The whole point is she had the decency to put 60 people on VIP for me...Why don't you ask good old John Tang about how many people he can get in for free at the Guv then come back and post...Pat had the Class to Get 60 of my friends in for Free and on my b-day that means alot to me....First off Don't act like you know who I am what you have seen me twice in person??? As for her to presume that she knows how everyone is is just an ignorant statement...Listen if you want her to fall for you, you are going about the wrong way of doing it...STOP kissing her ass because she is a TWIT...plain and simple..Going back she insulted Pat and now that she is not welcome in Pats eyes, she is trying to get everyone to Hate on the Gallery and their staff...We all know that The Gallery brings the Dirty house DJ's so why bother???..and next time you want to shake my havnd and act like a friend do me a fave. and whipe my ass instead....

This is too much for me to process.












*goes back and does another bump.

i have a question to this whole feud with nada and b4k-oz umm if ur so defensive abt being extra mashy, why do u guys let urselves get extra mashy?

i mean shit if u dont want to look stupid dont be stupid. i dunno maybe im just adding fuel to the fire. its just somethign i never understood with ppl

Yea, I don't for a second believe that'd have been Nada's intention. That just looks to be what others have inferred to be her intentions.

I thought getting mashed up as everyone refers to it was the point and goal of most people who attend events?

Oh sorry I forgot every just goes to dance for 8 hours straight!
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright!!!!!!!

well that my whole point. why are ppl so self concious abt it then. just dont do it if ur gonna be self concious and someone cals u on it

and i'll bring my fairy-pixie dust too!

i got to add one mre thing. the problem is u guys take this fuckin scene bullshit way to fuckin seriously. like its ur fuckin life or something. who gives a fuck. if a night is whack and has cracky ass people say it. who the fuck gives a shit. the truth is the truth.


wow talk abt taking somethign that means absolutely fuck all in life wayyyyy too seriously. ppl. its a fuckin party scene, key word: PARTY. the thing abt partying in any scene is that it means, to chill back and have some fun with friends and have some fun while u forget abt the pressures and stress of ur "REAL" life for a bit. i think the problem is alot of u have ur fuckin priorties in life all fucked up.

and i love the elitist comments. hahahaha so fuckin stupid.



some of u ppl honestly need to remove ur head from ur ass.


there i fuckin said my piece. peace

Firstly..Cosmic, I never once called Nada an idiot. That is not something I would do and I have pm'd you to retract this.

Cosmic Fur...a noob does not mean your an idiot.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noob
"1. A person online who is new and/or unfamiliar with the environment.
1a. A "newbie".

2. A person who acts like they know everything (see also, n00b).im super leet, noob.
A noob means just that...someone knew to the scene and has no clue of wheat thery are saying."

FYI when I started posting in forums I was called a noob. I never took it offensively bc I knew that I was a noob and had to start from there to move on.

<---------- was definatly called a noob when I first got here!!!!!
