The Zone is the kind of HAUS MUSIK I *HEART*

TRIBAL!!!!!!!!

My experience was last year @ the Comfort zone on Canada Day, I went just after seeing Paul Oakenfold @ the Guvernment, and wow it was a total eye opener! Why didn't someone tell me it was a gay club, I felt extrememly uncomfortable, and not only that; but people were doing hardcore drugs everywhere!

The Zone isn't a gay club.

And people do drugs at the guvernment too

The Zone isn't a Gay Club, it just attracts a wide variety of patrons.

Gimme a break. CZ is at the other end of the spectrum though.

Well obviously a lot more drug use happens at the Zone than at Guvernment (again, Zone = afterhours, while Guv still attracts a lot of ppl who don't do any drugs)). But it's not like anyone is hurting YOU by popping that pill, or doing that line of whichever drug. In the end, people go there to have a good time. And from my experience, they have a fuckin blast. No other club has the same sort of energy that the Zone has.

On top of that, this scene, and culture, are strongly tied to drugs.

I did NO DRUGS at all when I was at the Zone. And I'd just come from a Guv party dancing all night and I'd done no drugs there either (so I was not sketchy at all, I was feeling fine and just naturally energized).

You do NOT need drugs to enjoy the zone IMO. I had a fucking blast and no drugs were needed.

As 2 ppl above stated, it's NOT a gay club! I see more gay men at Boa than I see at the Zone.

One reason I happen to love the Zone is because of how hot it is down there -- I love dancing up a storm sans my shirt (a thing that is often common amoung gay men it seems from my experience). Even so, I certainly wasn't pressure or made to feel uncomfortable by any gay individuals there.

Look past that shit, Jesus. At most, it'd be 50-50 straight-gay ppl, and no way it's even that high if you ask me. What's the problem?

It's not like it's the Fly or Tangos, which are gay nightclubs/bars, almost ENTIRELY populated by gay men and women.

Man, seriously, to enjoy the Zone, you gotta go in w/ an open mind and not be so predjudiced.

this is the right attitude..

and to milli.. yeah we were just talking about this when i signed p here.. and i just copy pasted :P

Sunday morning I paid a visit to CZ after being away since April, got there kinda early and already the beats was flowing through my veins begging me to get down and dirty on the dancefloor. Only reason I went was Shanny and a non-TOTA told me Deko-ze was doing an extended set from 9-2. Shite, morning started off with Manzone & Strong laying some sick beats and at one point Strong dropped a dirty tribal remix of Say Hello. I was in aural heaven.

I know this is not a review thread but I just had to comment on my Sunday spent at my long lost home. I've been going to the Zone for a couple years now (well not so much anymore) but the Zone's vibe never ever changed in all the years I've been going there, it's always the same wiked ass feeling you get once you step into the darkness. Sure the Triads, Gays, Juice Monkeys can be somewhat trying at times but as Jamie said if you go in there with an open mind, you'll be treated to an experience like no other.

Khoa, YOU WERE THERE TOO!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK.

One of many regrets I have of this past weekend, this is one of them! Why didn't I end up making myself just go!!!!

I cannot stop thinking about how I wish I'd whent. I keep thinking of the amazing time I missed... and the friend I never got to dance with in the Zone while Deko-ze played his extended set... and I am sadden (still) by this.

Balls... ballsallovertheplace

i thought this was the thread where RJ showed us his excellent writing skills by describing CZ but I guess it is not.

I think this thread needs a copy and a paste.

suck it up man what the hell do you expect at 9am in the morning after everyone is done partying at an EDM party? NO SHIT there is gonna be drugs. give me a break! CZ is like after after hours. what did you seriously expect it to be? I would really like to know. I don't think it's a gay club at all... it has never been over 60 straight 40 gay when i have gone. But like everyone said... zone isn't for everyone, only people who are there for the love of the music.

The first time I went to the Zone, as I mentioned before, was for Scumfrog. I had been at System the night before for Bad Boy Bill from 11-7:30...on one pill...that I ended up getting sick from and got it out of my system. Then I went to the Zone until 1pm, leaving only b/c I had to...I was not on anything, and I had the most amazing time ever.
I have done drugs there since then...but not that often. I actually prefer NOT to be on drugs when I'm there, b/c then I don't let the sketchiness get to me. I'm fully coherent and can just enjoy the music, which is a drug in itself to me.

that is what i keep telling myself.. if u go there.. make sure u go with friends.. and what does people expect from the zone when everybody talks about how sketchy the place is and stuff.. drugs = everywhere.. sketchy people = everywhere.. the diff between the zone and all the other clubs is that the zone is open during the day.. and is pretty smaller..people who work during friday and saturday night have a place to go if they wanna party.. (bouncers.. barman.. so on..) give the zone a credit for that..

if you go to a club is for the music.. but dont go if ur gonna complain afterwards.. cuz deep inside u.. u know u enjoyed being there and u know as a fact that u will be back..

I have to agree with most and say I LOVE THE ZONE!!! I think you really need to go there expecting the absolute worst...then you won't be surprised. Once you get past all the sketchiness you realize you're there for the same reason as most...for the amazing beats and really cool people. For sure THE ZONE is a "must experience at least once"...try it and you will not be disappointed. My suggestion is to go with someone who has been, and knows what to expect - head to the dance floor, look around and experience all that is there, just for what it is. I guess it's like "they" say...church.

Here is why I CZ...
Originally Posted: Jun-15-2005 20:45

Here is how I have felt about "The Zone" (Comfort Zone) every time I have been there:

For the first 30 minutes, you will be on edge/nervous, acclimatizing to the zone's subdued-unpredictable vibe.

You feel like you on the cusp of chaos, randomness with a feeling that some strong yet strange lasso keeps it all under control (barely).

You can't figure out why - but the edge of insanity and sanity interweave in a way that energizes, a way that fuels, a way that rules.

No, no, there is no real danger... not in the physical (I�m going to get hurt myself).... but in the greater mind ("this could be explosive", "this could be me uninhibited") way.

CZ is an organism. You get absorbed - you move as one, groove as one, dance a one, all flows en-mass. If not, you stand on the exterior, trying to figure it out, but never truly enjoying it.

The key is to jump in to it - take the chance, risk your id (not I.D. - we're talking Freud's "Id")., expose yourself to the possibility of improbability and love every second.

CZ is the untamed animal - the beast that tricks one in thinking that one has grappled it, but really is bigger, more powerful than the one.

CZ is a church to the controlled random - the place for one to become oneself, without self-imposing (boundaries)...

As one focuses on the whole, rather than the specific, CZ becomes magik to the tenth-degree, beyond linear.

CZ is good. It requests intention, but gives back (exactly what has been intended).

Comfort Zone basics again

Comfort Zone Basics:

1. Don't ask because you don't want to know

2. Heaven's gate
3. Hell's asshole
4. Be careful what you say & who you say it to; the CIA (comfort zone Intelligence Agency)does exist
5. 68% of the patrons are always more fucked up then you!
6. The CZ Virus is real, exists only in the Zone and is only curable by not going to the zone for 4 consecutive wks.
7. Half of Americas Most Wanted can be found at the comfort Zone
8. If the Zone were to shut down the crime rate in the city would
increase by 32%
9. If you decide to play the "do I stay or do I go" game you will lose!
10. Trust me you'll be back. Everyone comes back

11. Many people will remember you but you will remember none. Fake it.
12. Yes she is 16

13. Bartering, negotiating and haggling are common practice.
14. If she looks like a stripper she is. If she's not a stripper she's a man.
15. If she's a man warn friends.
16. If your a guy over 150 lbs your shirt will eventually come off for a pose down to show your muscles are bigger than some other juice pigs.
17. Do not try to distinguish between fear & pleasure at the zone.
There is no distinction.
18. No I don't have any money you can borrow.
19. For every problem there is a chemical solution.
20. Enjoy your time here your famous... everyone is.
21. No really I don't have any money you can borrow.
22. The 3 degrees of separation theory applies.
23. Everyones not staring at you...unless you think they are.
24. You know its time to leave when;

a) You wake up in the Green Room in a puddle of piss with your empty wallet on your chest
b) You've already left you just didn't know it

c) You finally hear the Bouncer yelling at your friend to get that asshole out of here & he's pointing at you.

d) When all your Comfort Zone associates say-DUDE, YOU LOOKED FUCKED!-

e) You realize that the friendly fag you met earlier is giving you an
EXTRA friendly message. And your enjoying it-

f) You've been partying for three days and think that one more
pill/bump/line/cap will miraculously give you energy

g) The back hems of your designer jeans are tattered & black & your

eyeballs are about to pop out of your skull

h) No one has drugs

i) Everyone looks familiar

j) No one looks familiar

k) When you look in the mirror and you mistake the white ring on the

edge of your nostril for a powdered donut

l) You hear voices talking to you in the bathroom stall only to find
out there is no one else there

m)You start talking to your genitals to hurry up & piss already

o) You stop breathing

p) You wonder around aimlessly, not knowing what to do w/ yourself

q) You consider checking in at the Waverly Hotel

r) The music stops but think it's still playing dancing around like a madman

25. You know you've been going to comfort zone too long when;

a) All the friends you have now, you met at the Zone

b) You miss a wk at the Zone & wonder if its still there

c) You stopped hiding the fact that your a regular patron

d) Your cool w/ the young baggy sweatsuit bandana wearing thugs & they're cool w/ you

e) You actually play a game of pool-

f) When your friend gets robbed & you console him

g) The bouncer searches you

h) You know the "Persians"

i) the sight of 3 uniformed police officers inside the zone is business as usual

j) the fear of being punched, stabbed, shot, raped or kidnapped has
subsided

k) Its your only form of exercise and your sporting a 6 pack. And you attribute your fine figure to a healthy diet of Crystal Meth, Coke & G

l) You have seperate "Zone" clothes and shoes you bring out on Saturday night.

m) You stay in Saturday night so you can go out Sunday mornings

n) The bums at the mission know you

26. You know you've left the comfort zone when;

a) its time to go to work.

27. Top 10 reasons to stop going to the Zone;

a) Can't think of any right now, I'll get back to you on this.

It's not even funny how true this is...

This I can attest to: I HAVE not been to the Zone in well over a year and before that two years. BUT I HAVE NEVER EVER EVER HAD A BAD TIME THERE....IT WAS all about the dancefloor and tunes....hell YEAH!
