-- BOA would be perfect if....
Pages (5): « 1 [2] 3 4 5 »
Boa's got pretty much all the essentials i want in an afterhours club so it's hard to come up with suggestions that would make it perfect (afterall, perfection itself is a pretty subjective term). Here's what'd make Boa 'perfect' for me:
1) Keep your friggin Shirts on policy
This is a matter of double standards to me. Don't allow me in cause i'm wearing track pants because you have a dress code -- and come 3'oclock stand by as the circuit boys and juiceheads parade around with their shirts off, and sweat dripping. One or the other...shirts off, and allow people to wear what they are comfortable in (it's a dance club -- not the Drake Hotel), or stop the monkeys from taking their shirts off all togather and then tell me you have a dress code and i'll happily wear my jeans -- or...get the ladies to take their tops off and i won't give a damn about the first two 
<-- the other two become moot if the third becomes a reality 
)
2) Enforce the no smoking rule.
Even before i quit i was amazed at how Boa is the only club that seems to completely look the other way with regards to people smoking in the lounge. It's not like 1 or 2 people sitting in the corner, it's like 50% of the room, 2 feet away from the bouncers. Ventilation my ass. Still, i know it sounds hypocritical because i did the same thing just a few weeks back at NYE, but now that i've quit, it would be nice for a change to see the bylaw working for me.
3) Keep dipping into the diverse pool of talented DJ's out there
I know they have, and i'm aware of the plans to host different types of nights. My point is actually in support for the Boa management listening to everyone out there. I did believe that initally Boa was catering to the Gay crowd and the pure house lovers who didn't care what music was being played as long as it was House and Circuit friendly. I'm glad that Boa is now opening its doors to people who love other EDM. Personally, i think with that sound system, they are in prime position to bring in the best of every genre. I'd like to see more Break, Progressive House/Breaks and Live PA's in the near future, and i'm quite optimistic that will happen at some point soon.
4) Special Events, Battles & Theme Nights !
Keep it humming and you'll always have a stable of partiers who keep comming back. Boa's already doing pretty well in that dept so this point is again just in support of more creative nights where it's not just about the music, but the decor, the vibe and the life the party takes when the same venue changes it's look thereyb suprising even its regular patron. Parting should be an experience, and if Boa is to maintain it's status as one of best in TO, it should keep switching it up and serve it's customers with not only the best sounding dish on the menu...but one which comes newly decorated every time.
That, and i wanna see more Vs nights. Danny Tenaglia vs Lawler. Sasha vs Digweed. Tarrentella vs Redanka, Phil K vs Infusion, Carl Cox vs Omid16, etc... I know it's tough to get the bookings, but i'm including this as part of my wishlist)
And that would be about it...
Even without some of these points, Boa remains a very enjoyable clubbing experience. I doubt it will ever be perfect, but then again, who wants perfect anyway ? Gimme a deep dark jungle that dirty, yet safe, clean yet not without character, a haven for the childern of the night, protected by walls of sweet heart pounding bass and soft lights...gimme a club with a soul where memories are made, and keep perfection for yourself.
1) more trance
2) does something about those stairs

the only thing i've ever had an issue with was coat check, and the disgusting smoke in there sometimes. inforce the smoke rule best you can (better than now lol), and fix the coat check to be good on big events, both pretty easy things, then i have no problem

Julia, Mauro is booked through BLUE, which has a working relationship with both System and Guv. You won't see Mauro at Boa - besides, he has been here maaaaany times, Boa tries to push the envelope a bit more and try new things, not just crowd favorites.
IMHO, Boa is GREAT just the way it is. Congrats to Rony and Carey for operating one of the best clubs
Keep up the good work

Miss Julia is just expressing her opinion, which is what this thread is about, so ease up on her guys. Many people have requested their favorite DJ's...so she shouldn't be the only one getting slammed.
having said that...
The crap Picotto spins is pure garbage so yea...please don't bring him back to TO
LOL -- flame away, i'll say it again having seen him twice in the past 2-3 years. Each time he made my ears bleed.
so bad, i'd listen to a 6 hour of Dumonde and Cosmic Gate over what Picotto spins ! 
Toronto Tech House is where it's at...who needs Picotto when we got Kenny ? 
Ps. Ltns Tara...where ya been hiding ?

^^^
LOL - Hey, if people can slam the #1 DJ in the world for being cheesy...
I can slam Picotto for umm....
very boring track selection.
Jus cause it's 145 bpm don't make it good...
but that's all imma say on the matter...
jus my opinion
Oh you can bash him alright... last time I saw him (Guvernment) not only did not pump me up, but killed the buzz that I had... and let's just say it wasn't a good night to have my buzz killed. The night would have been a total loss if they hadn't kicked him off and put Liebing/Gaetano back on. It's like he wasn't even trying.
Nevertheless, I think you were a little hard on the guy! I mean, that's harsh... 6 hours of Cosmic Gate?
^^^haha dork!! It's all good if u don't like Mauro. I agree with what Jeff said in an earlier post about Boa not being the best place to book Mauro. I thought I'd just throw that suggestion in for laughs.
I thought it was pretty hilarious how "charmscars" came in here just to make rude comments about my posts again. 
I know...Cosmic Gate.
It's a tough choice though -- boring, uninspiring techno vs equally pedestrian, ultra chessy, outdated (un)epic trance.
I can't wait till the trance boys get wind of this post. I know imma get some hate for those comments ---

I mean, if they want to get Carl Cox to spin there -- hows he that different from Picotto ? Boa's system can handle it - but like you heard Skipper lay it out, he probably won't be there anytime soon.
