-- BOA returning? (fact or rumour)
Pages (4): « 1 [2] 3 4 »

I dunno, I just don't think a club can afford to draw a line in the sand like that. Sure, there will be people who don't go because the gays are there or the straights are there, but I don't think that number compares to the total number of people you segregate into various nights. Furthermore, unless the total number of each can keep the nights running on their own (which didn't seem to go so well last time), then there's no point trying to separate the two crowds just to keep the minority happy about who they have to share the dancefloor with.

Boa is dead. Let it rest in peace.

NOT

Most of the System is at equirex leasing storage along with the Docks Alpha System.
Some of the components along with Some of the Docks Alpha is now at Muzik. Interestingly enough the same storage space also houses the Sonic SBS sound system

LOL....Jerome just called to tell me about this thread !

Some of you write with such certainty, I am sure you were witnesses to the second shooter on the grassy knoll, while others have just been returned after being abducted at Roswell, especially Techead and Chinamon.

Boa's soundsystem is where it has been since we closed, at my house and my own storage space, other rumors are just that ! It shall remain there until the right space or the right buyer comes along.

Boa was a very special place at a special time, replicating it is a virtual impossibility but.........never say never again !

Rony.

great! thanks for the info

Stereo went bankrupt 8 times before it finally hit it's stride...now it's a top nightclub in the world.

as a gay man who goes to 99% straight parties - I agree that "gay and straight mix doesnt work" - in Toronto at least.

When I see threads stop bitching about the carwash - then /maybe/ things will work, but hate to say it : sweaty clubs, hot shirtless men seem to go hand in hand with gay parties, and pretty much /every/ review thread I've read of a party that was "mixed" has people bitching about gays, or shirtless gays.

Or when a DJ like Victor Calderon can be booked and not have people asking "is this going to be a gay party?!"

as much as I'd like to think people go out for the music and not the sexuality of the crowd (its why I go out, I go where the music is good - if its gay/straight never comes into the equation), there seems to be allot of people of which that is a factor for.

I've had quite a few friends bail on coming out to parties with me because its not a 'gay party', and I've seen quite a few negative comments from straight people on various forums directed towards the gay-crowd.

I don't disagree with it. I was more rolling my eyes because it's exactly that attitude that is the reason Toronto isn't ready for a club like Boa/Sonic. People are delusional.

Lol. I think you're over simplifying things here. There are two reasons that I would rather go to a straight party than a gay party.

1. I would rather be around girls and guys than just guys. (re: I am straight)

2. It seems that the gay community is very "open" when it comes to public displays of affection. Personally, I don't like to see that. I don't like to see that whether the 2 (or more) parties involved are male, female, or what have you. I'm not going to say they should stop. They are free to do what they want, but I'd just prefer to not go there and witness it.

From what I know, it's the second point that most straight people have a problem with. The second point has nothing to do with prejudice.

I completely agree with point 2....when I went to BeB....I knew I was going to a predominately gay party and I had no issue with that....even the shirtless issue wasn't a problem....but some of the displays of affection definately bothered me.

That being said.....the only times I've seen inappropriate public displays of affection (at least in my opinion) have been at parties that were either at gay clubs or advertised as a gay parties....I personally haven't seen anything over the top at other events.....its just the difference in scenes.

Why do the displays of affection bother you?

Bend over.

My biggest problem with gay parties: too many sweaty men walking around without a shirt on. And rubbing against me even if inadvertently.

GROSS!

(that goes for any clubbing even generally too)

Maybe its just my mindset, but I'm fine with the man-pit PDA that goes on at a Circuit Party, hell - even if its Girl on Guy - I dont mind, but if I'm at a general after-hours, PDA (regardless of gender combo) bothers me.

Gotta say, now and then I do enjoy getting lost in the man-pit and being a bit dirty - but generally leave that kind of behavior to circuit/100% gay parties and not mixed/straight events - theres a time and a place for that sort of thing, and for some reason events like Pride Ball seems to be one of them, while say - a regular night at Boa / Stereo / Sonic / etc is not.
