It bugs me when people say that they don't go to the zone because it's too sketchy... when they're sketchier than most of the people that go there! ugh

when was the last time u went?

I found my first few times at the zone were after pretty large parties at guv or where ever - the crowd is pretty normal - the same faces I saw at guv were usually at the zone. For first timers, going on a day like that may make things more tollerable. Take New Years Day for an example - there will be some of the usual sketchy people there, but the TA meet up area may be a "safe" place to play. If after a few times you still don't get it - you probably won't and it's just not for you.
See you on the dancefloor.

M.

I always considered going on a regular sunday at 6am to be the best time to experience it initially. That way you can go in and get used to how dark it is and the rest of the club first. Then it slowly gets busier and you can get used to the crowd gradually.

I remember I went with 4-5 newbs after LOL at like 9 or 10am and they were right tripped out by the place. It's just alot to take in if you show up and the place is already a zoo.. unless you like going full on right off the bat.

I fully suggest giving CZ another shot either with non-TA friends or TA friends. Come on NYD if you can afford it. I think if you hang out in metal lounge you'll have a good time if you have enough friends with you. The Zone is all how you interpret it. You need to go in with the mentality that you'll be amused by the sketch and not scared/freaked out by it. Other than that, stay out of the bad areas, lol.



As for Pulse.. what are their hours of operations there? I'm definitely interested in checking out a club that is apparently sketchier than CZ.

It's ironic.. the first time I ever went to CZ was for Anthony Attalla back at the start of August. Since there was Carabana stuff going on at Guv I went to funhaus as a warmup to zone. I definitely found Funhaus more sketchy than zone. It was just a sketchier crowd (soo many trannys and goths). I'd like to check out Loco (as funhaus is called now for afterhours on sundays) if they ever get their sound proofing done. It said on their website that it was only going to take a week and here we are at least 3-4 months later and they are still closed. How sketch would it be partying above a Shoppers Drugmart during it's normal operating hours, lol. I guess it's like coming out of CZ for some 7-11 or BK and you run into someone exiting Hotel Waverly.


Tiesto Sux: I always fear that my car will be stolen or burglarized as well, lol

Originally posted by activate 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.

Dude is Morgan still working there?

After LoL was the last time I was there. Definitely seemed very intense. The thing that made it better was running into 4 or 5 other UofT engineering students that I knew.

New years is way too expensive for me. Even with a lineup like that, spending another 60 bucks on top of the 45 i spent on guv, plus other miscellaneous party enhancement expences....definitely out of my price range. I'll probably end up there eventually though. Maybe next time, I'll finally understand it.

I've never been to Zone if you can believe that, and I'll probably never go either. I love the DJs and the music, but dude, I just can't do it.

That's not to say that I don't after hour party, at least once a month I will trek down to Stereo for my after hours fix...

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

I've never truely experienced an evil vibe until I entered Pulse Lounge.


Although there was this club in Taiwan called "Lion King" I went to with friends, pure gangster club and my guy friends were escorted out shortly after they came in despite the fact they were by our sides the entire time. Not sure as to why they were booted as yes foreign guys can easily guy into trouble in clubs in Asia by hitting on the wrong lady but we left within 10 minutes. I feel safe at places like Zone after experiencing that one.

I've gone to Zone by myself on numerous occasions to meet friends and have never had a problem, the one time we had issues at gangster row I just went up to the bouncers and they took care of it quicker than a blink

Originally posted by nifty narcotix 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.

I think it's because you are twelve....

Seriously though, you need to get talking to people. I have thrown AWESOME after parties with some cool people - lawyers, people in IT, all walks of life.

Girls HAVE to display a little attitude... Be respectful and stop panicking about people around you...or lay off the coke. lol

Just get on with enjoying the music. Take some buddies with you next time so you feel a little more 'involved'.

The patio just does not do it for me. I am there for the music.

If you are genuinely wary - dance at the edge of the crowd, or try the area as you walk in (away from the entrance).

I do think that maybe your age has something to do with it. I'm gettin' on a bit, but my age helps me to read people a little better. That I am certain of.

Keep trying / going.

there are two kinds of people in this world...people who like the comfort zone and people who don't.

i personally think the place is revolting, but whatevs!

why do you feel like you need to like it? if you don't, you don't. big deal.

Basically, you're a pussy. Case solved.

Originally posted by ChemEnhanced 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.

Pfft. People go there to do drugs as much as they go there to listen to music. I bet CZ could throw Polak Polka (check this out: Polka is Polak with 2 letters swapped, ehh? EHHH?) music down, and all those non-drugged-up, party-loving, good-time-having people would be loving it just as much. "JUST LISTEN TO THE BREAKDOWN WITH THE FIDDLE! AMAZING!"

Yep. Zone? Sketchy? Nothing sketchy ever happens at the Zone.

How old are you. Did I miss something in this thread?

I would highly recommend checking out cz after a residents night at guv then. Go for 6 or 7am with some close party friends. If by noon you still aren't digging cz.. then it's not for you.

Drugs helps too, lol. But I can do it sober.. I have many times.

So how many Red Bulls/Coffees do you need to party at Guv until 6am, and then continue to bust a move at the Zone until noon?

Not that I have been to the zone, but have been invited several times.

I dont go to the zone. After being out all night, thats enough for me. I dont see the need in being out for the morning/afternoon. Some people that sleep saturday night and then go to the zone sunday morning, I think thats awesome

That was his point.

For the people who can't find the sketch at the Zone, have you been on the patio at all? Have you never looked at the people sitting in the lawn chairs along the sides? Have you ever been to the washrooms?

I find the best way to go to CZ is stay in Saturday night get up sunday morning around 6 and head to CZ fresh and wide awake.
