except those guys have different priorities than music in mind...

Originally posted by Dior Homme I usually don't go out alone to meet up with people at clubs anymore. You?

eh. I like the freedom of picking what events I want to go to, when to leave, not having to worry about if my friends I brought are having a good time. I'm not at the club to be seen, or to pick up or to get drunk.

Usually I find a spot to myself and just enjoy the music. Or hang out with TAs who happen to be at the event.

I'm at the event for the music. Other considerations are secondary.

Yeah, I usually end up separating from my friends once I get inside at some point. I enjoy the music, or periodically talking to random people. Friends are always a message away anyway.


Personally I've never had a bad time at Guv ... what is a bad time, anyways? Having someone spill their drink on you, to have someone piss on you in the bathroom while you wash it out, just before the bouncers kick you out having just gotten in?

too many fake people


i dont care about sketchies, they don't bother me, just don't look at them... fake people and back stabbers, on the other hand... it's been hard to hide from them lately

Very true Sasha! The sketchies can be entertaining sometimes.
Fake people are the reason I distanced myself from the scene...even here in Shanghai it's full of fakesters.

Ozmosis - Maybe you're different but I found not going out at all for awhile and finding other interests on the weekend takes your mind off the scene and when you do decide to go out it's much more fun Plus you can always invite friends over and listen to sets if you don't want to deal with clubs....someone's living room can be just as fun!

the drama on this board is hysterical!

I don't party as much as I used to. I can't remember the last time I went to the Guv. Sometimes the fact that I"m getting, arguably, too old to be partying like I did from age 20-26ish is quite evident. Plus London's scene is really hit and miss and, overall, too commerical (Frog, Mansion, 29, etc) on a regular basis.

It's all about house parties with your fav TOTA DJs

Originally posted by Yohan It's all about house parties with your fav TOTA DJs

The one at Carl's waaay back when was so much fun! I think that's the last time I saw you sir?

Don't fret - clubbing isn't exactly the healthiest or most productive hobby to begin with, and it's the same people bringing the same DJs in the same venues. It's great when an outdoor party happens or something "rare" comes up but generally I feel that everything has been done before and I'm better off spending my time on new hobbies.

I second that for sure. I try to have a few each year because I have way more fun lol.

lol, that was awhile ago! Wow lol.

Originally posted by �Zm�zis It's hard to find good trance anywhere else either than Guv though...

That's because no one plays trance anymore....
But seriously, it feels like the scene is so afraid of change. And I kinda went through the same thing as you Oz when I got back from Amsterdam. Hit 1 massive party there and it's just not the same here anymore. You can see the potential when you get overseas, where people actually "celebrate" when they party... then when you come back home it's a bunch of wannabe's and try-hards just looking for an escape from reality... hell living in Toronto, I can see why people need that escape, so try not to judge them... they are just a product of their environment. They're not tryign to change anything, they're just accepting that It is what it is (IIWII). It'll take some time, but you'll get back into it a bit.

I haven't enjoyed going to clubs for the last couple of years. Everyone will go through it at least once....I've gone through it three times now. I will only go out now for a very select few DJs.

+1 Totally Agreed

Originally posted by geroin instead of worshiping one or two dj's you need to go out and try different venues and parties even if you don't know who is playing or not sure if you're going to like the music, hit up a techno event, hit up a hipster event or a deep house event, just be open minded musically and you won't get bored or lose interest in "the scene".

That's what I've been doing. For me, it works out a helluva a lot better. This way, I can go out on a whim, no hype, no expectations, so whatever the party turns out to be makes it a bonus. Besides, going out to a variety of events with any number of different DJs playing them means I'm probably not as subject to the 'international DJ' playing nothing but the big tracks all the time.

hahahhaha sneaky :P

To be honest I think we need some sort of change in Toronto. We need more than 1 big club that plays trance. We also need more outdoor events, it doesn't even have to be at night, just a day event (but it seems that's not even possible)

When I was in Amsterdam it was different. Like you said, instead of really partying the people were celebrating.

pretty much how i've felt the last 6 months

i'm also finding that the drive to toronto is becoming more and more of a deterrent to wanting to go out as i'm not from the area and the time i do get to myself is few and far between

I couldn't have said it better myself!

I remember sharing our stories about our trips and coming to the same conclusions lol...but really unless one moves out of this city/country you just have to learn to cope with it. I thought about moving but I have a good job and my family is here and I'm not about to move to Europe just because the party scene is better! I put aside money every year and treat myself by going to atleast one party over there and that keeps me

A part of me misses the parties, but a part of me is saying you've got more important things in your life right now to focus on that partying is near the bottom of the list.

I still have the same passion about the music, but for me, I don't have the need to come out and party the way I was a year and a half ago.

I'm probably going through a phase. Ugh.

Oz man!! I knew I was going to read something like this from u!!!

shame on you!!!.. what about last friday... that was a good party.. I agree with everyone else saying you should take a break or choose different parties. As far as outdoor parties.. i didn't see u on ANY boat cruises soooooo... u missed out!

I think there is quite the recurring theme on TA, and that is WE ARE EFFFIN SPOILED !!!


p.s. Mortyman,, when is the next gig and where is it?
