Justin Oh opened with a nice set and added in his remix of Justin Timberlake's "What goes around". Andy Moor came on starting off a lil nice and slow, it all goes up from there. I was outside having a smoke with a couple people and we all heard yelling from the inside, cops responded quickly, and the party got shut off... It was a bunch of idiots who looked like they didn't belong, and they had to ruin it for the rest of us who wanted to have a good time. Great job Mark and Owen for the booking, and for handling the situation. I would definitely come to another party in O Lounge!

... f*cking ridiculous pricks (I'm biting my tongue to keep from saying prejudice stereotypical slurrs right now) show up to put on a show and ruin the night... the cops came and shut the place down and everyone got questioned on the way out.



Prejudice stereotypical slurrs ?? lol I didnt know discrimination was openly discussed about still. You should probably reconsider your thoughts on specific cultural / ethnic groups, because being racist makes as you bad as those who cause the fight

Holler that
don't recall mentioning anything about racism or denigrating ethnic groups in my post though
If you're interested in my views on that subject you can direct your comments to the "Immigration in Canada" thread

I believe it was an ethnic fight, cause they were yelling country names and swearing at each other in their native language

The one guy who started it all was punching people randomly, and he was fucking mad. When the cups asked Andy to stop playing, I thought they want to give a speech that they are gonna stay outside the club for the rest of the night so people better behave well, but instead they shut down the place for the night. I'm glad this moron didn't have a knife or a bottle in his hand, he was so mad he could have done much worst.

O lounge is doing such a good job lifting the scene in Hamilton all on its own, and shit like this happens, so sad to hear. This happened (on a smaller scale) when i spun there last with hatiras... but this in no way is a good example of the people that go to O -Lounge, some of the nicest people (mostly students) are rockin it, and as some of you know the promotions team there is nothing short of spectacular. hope the city can leave its eyes open... how was Justin Oh's set?



Justin Oh's set was phanominal! Got energy goin in the place and everyone was dancin hard, good job again Justin.

As for the shit that went on, it;s truly terrible it happened at O llounge which is my place away from the Toronto scene that has classy owners, staff, promo team and atmosphere. Stupid idiots who called themselves the "gypsy mofia", I thnk they said "what what" afterward. They were just there thinking they were the shit, they didn't care who they took on.

For the cops who shut down the party? wtf. I remember turning to Hamish Campbell and sayin how much I was looking forward to his closing set and how good Andy was, I hadn't loved a trance night so much in awhile when it all went down. I was outside having a smoke when it all went down with two buddies when it fell out the door, the assholes who did it all were walking away before people yelled at the cops to arrest the motherf***er's, they even hesitated at first. Truly appalling.

Could have been the best night at O Lounge ever, but all ruined by out of towner idiots who tainted a fabulous venue and great intimate place to go and enjoy a great show.

Andy was a good sport about it and said it happens all the time, I gotta say killer set wish we all coulda finished it off.

11/10 for the party, pre stupidness
-10\10 to the cops for bein cops
100/10 to all the people who took one for the team to get these asses out, some of them the smallest in nature when these were some big guys.

I'm not sure who told you there was a stabbing at O Lounge the night before, but I don't see that being too likley considering we were closed. That incident was from Al Basha, the Arabic smoke shop accross the street from O Ultra Lounge and had nothing to do with us.

The guys that started the fight sunday night at O Lounge were also not arab.

Thank you!

The group of people that initiated the fight started it amongst themselves. When our staff and friends tried to stop it and get the problem outside, they were sucked into the situation.

O Lounge is downtown?...thats news to me.
Hamilton definatly isn't the greatest, and there's a small group of people trying to change that. When we have nights like that where 4-5 people ruin it for everyone giving our events company a bad rep, even though we've had a good run of quality events over the last 3 years, it's making our job that much harder.


I'd like to appologise to everyone who came out Sunday night, especially to all of the people who came from out of town and was their first time at our events. Thanks for everyone I spoke to after the incident who were still in good spirits. It's really unfortunate a hand full of dick heads have to ruin it for a whole room filled with good people.

not a cool comment man, its not typical.


Posted by jchung52 on Feb-19-2008 18:49:

sorry by that i meant typical as in bad reporting... fights/stabbings/shootings always somehow get related to nearby nightclubs. ex. Phoenix in london. a shooting was related to the nightclub when it had nothing to do with it. good thing the owners got a nice settlement from the local and university papers

Ma bad, you saw how i interpreted that and yes i agree, if there is a nightclub around it is just easier for the authority to point the finger and end an investigation.

That guy couldn't even stand and was gnawing his jaw off as he was talking to me. He was trying to convince Andy to play at this so called after-party but there was no way I was letting Andy go to that sketch-bag's house especially after all the shit that already happened that night.

We have no association with Film lounge. Andy Moor was not scheduled to play at any after parties. Anything in the east end of Hamilton is...well...if you live in Hamilton you know what kind of parties happen there.

There was no stabbing at O Lounge. Not during sunday wih Andy Moor, not even the day before (we were actually closed the night before Andy Moor).

I know you're just repeating what was told to you, I'm just letting you know what the deal is

Posted by Clublifexx on Feb-21-2008 00:07:

First off: I really want to know if these fucking assholes get caught. Please post if they do.

Second off: The COPS said there was a stabbing at this place the night before. And yes, they said right there. Maybe they were just saying that to have grounds for shutting the place down, who knows. Maybe 2 of them didn't have their facts str8.

(absolutely awful if those morans were still around when the cops showed up, yet they refused to go after them)

Third off: As much as many people around hamilton love O lounge, some do not anymore. MOST of the people in there are extremely cool, and are there to party it up hard...That is the main attraction. I respect you guys, many of you are friends of mine.
Obviously it is hard to expect a few pieces of human garbage to walk in, start throwing punches and smash a bouncer over the head, but that SHOULDN'T be able to happen.

The way that fight developed, it could have been WAAYYYYY more dangerous. I was at the back with a few of our girlfriends behind us while the ****** looked like he was about to bull rush into us. That was the first time I clued in as to how disgusting these morans were. If he took 3 more steps there were about 3 usually non-violent people ready to smash the ****** with a bottle in defence.
Why? NO SEARCH at the door, seemingly only 1 bouncer to handle a group of guys, each as big as he was...Lord knows what weapons they had, or how far they were willing to go. Not a nice situation everyone was put in regardless of fault. Likely to happen again, who knows? Not a chance I will be taking tho.

Ironically 2 of our more violent friends left 30 min before this thing broke out....and I am glad they did! Providing the bouncer is okay (any updates?), this story would have had a much nastier ending...and given the shadiness of the situation, who knows which way it could have gone.

One of the most appauling nights ever, andy was playing slow and barely out of warmup. No time to enjoy anything seeing how we came late into justin's set.
(U are one brave mofo justin, and i respect your crazy attempt to help, lol - I didn't even see a person under that guy!)

What part of this didn't you understand?

Do I have to say this again? We were closed Saturday night. Anything that happened Saturday night (the ngiht before Andy Moor) had nothing to do with us. If there is a car accident in the street outfront of your house, does that mean you're involved because it happened near your home?

It's unfrotunate people that aren't even from or area stain our reputation. What happened shouldn't of happened. But saying it shouldn't be ABLE to happen is a bit much. I, nor anyone I've ever met in my life can predict what another person will do from one moment to the next. It's prety hard to foresee some dick about to start swinging at his own friends in the middle of a good party, regardless of what preventative measures have been put in place.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. We should search people at the door for anger and people looking like bulls? Search people at the door or you will smash the ****** with a bottle?

bouncer is okay.


Posted by Clublifexx on Feb-21-2008 05:05:

Not going to quote the whole reply.

I am NOT disputing the stabbing wasn't at your club. I am saying that was the buzz early in the night, AND the cops said it was. That is what was relayed....False or not, that was the info given to us. So how about just stating that was an error rather than freaking out on people reporting it??

What i am trying to say??
Let me clarify:

When you have a night that is cheap in cover, without a search at the door, and with buzz going around there was a stabbing the night before, it creates an uneasy situation!!!
That "search people like bulls" comment is idiotic. Do it or not, just don't pretend there isn't a point to it!

As for the bottle comment:
If some nutcase possibly carrying a weapon is randomly slugging people without fear of getting it badly, I tend to ask myself why???
And I would much rather see that disgusting fker lying KO'd on the floor than have him be able to hurt one of my buddies, my g/f or even some innocent stranger.

You want to do damage control, fine. But don't pick apart my comment! We came with 8 people and each had the same concern.
You've got worse problems than my small TA opinion here.
And before you flame back to defend the stabbing, I KNOW it wasn't at your club, but that was the buzz earlier in the night!!

Agree with me or not as the owner: I don't care. This is an opinion thread man.

glad to hear of 2 arrests, and very glad the bouncer is ok
