Sorry for the late review, this is the first time in over a week I've had even 5 minutes to sit down and relax at home...

We started by hitting up the 365 Bar in the Casino, HypnotEyez and I are taking a bartending course which makes ordering drinks a lot more fun Now if you want to get drunk cheap and easy, hit up the Splash Bar, drinks are 5-6$ and they serve the strongest drinks I've ever had, they easily double the amount of alcohol in your drinks, I had a rum & coke before Armin and when the bartender put it down in front of me I could smell the alcohol from it. Another tip, all Non-alcoholic drinks in a casino are FREE... The 365 Bar only has pop & water but if you go over to the Splash Bar they serve coffee & tea aswell. We both grabbed a coffee pre-club and coffee & water post-club

Dragonfly looked even better the second time then it did the first time (dare I say the music was better too ) I really just like Dragonfly, the crowd was hot, the people knew how to dance, only one or two sketchers, everybody was drunk and having fun, it was just a really good time M&S threw down a really great set, I don't think I've heard a bad one from them yet and they just keep getting better and better each time I hear them. It's getting to the point where I will go out to a club just because they're spinning not just oh M&S are spinning let's check them out.

We ended up leaving arounnd 3:15, I really wished we could've stayed until they had to put the lights (speaking of which when did lights come on for Armin?) but I had to be up for work at 6. I ended up getting home at 5 had a quick power nap and was up for work with no problems (I did fall asleep during a safety meeting we were having but that's okay ) Another amazing night

charles khabouth (owner of the infamous guvernment) and jimmy lightning (previous owner of tonic nightclub) are the owners of dragonfly.
both are highly experienced in this field and are considered to be veterans in the industry. they would be the reason why dragonfly is loved by many and will be a smashing success.

ive never had a problem with any security that works at a venue that involves charles since i started going to the guvernment when i was 19, over 8 years ago.
maybe they just dont like you?

if you are referring to the security at dragonfly, all the ones i saw looked to be in their 30s. there was one black bouncer that was really cool. he even shook my hand as i was leaving.

I think Digweed will be our inaugural Guelph -> Dragonfly trip

And definitely Sasha, you're coming with us to celebrate the end of our bartending course, by then we'll be such pros you won't know what liquor hit you

Sydney Blu and Nathan Barato invade the Dragonfly
