Going to Palm Springs with Daniel for a week and we are bringing my nephews. Woohoo. Going to Disneyland!

It's sad, but it's not the end of the world. We will survive and find another place. I'm optomistic, it's not the end, just another chapter closed with one starting right around the corner.

Have a dance for me, ok.

looking at all those videos reminded me at how special SONIC is to me and will always be. It was the best 11 mths of my clubbing Xperience. The Sonic family, the vibe and the people made the club.

Sonic will never be FORGOTTEN!

Thats right, totally slipped my mind that you guys were going then.

You will be missed.
I will on the dancefloor the whole night, so I will have a couple dances for you.

I will cry on the 10th. I know I will.

I know some of you will think I am pathetic but coming to this country all alone was a daunting prospect to say the least. Sonic (and Daniel / Boa) was my road to meeting all the TAs as well as my Sonic family and therefore, I feel that I have a deep affiliation with the club. I now feel like Toronto is my home and you guys made that happen

Fuck, I am going to start welling up now...

I am being considered to be one of the several dj's for the closing party..... if that is the case, I will be playing a collection of tunes going back to the Boa-Redux days, right through to the final days of Sonic.

Sean might not be there to play, but i'll do my best to play a lot of the amazing music he brought us week after week.....

Sonic had it coming....

Changing the original format became Sonic's nemesis...
An empty club doesn't make the coins that sustain the business...
It was obvious from the beginning what Sonic was meant to be:
A place where white, black, asian, straigh, gay, bi, fat, anorexic, fashionista, preppie, sweaty dancer or standy-by chin-stroker would go with one goal in mind: DANCING...
To those of you close-minded whiners who made this goal impossible, you should be proud: Fait Accompli!

This is probably the best thing I've ever read from you. So true.

FUCKING TORONTO!! YOU DUMB FUCKS!

There are some of us, but evidently, not enough to sustain a club like Sonic. In the 11 months it was open we only missed a handful of nights. Can't say we didn't put in a good effort, but it just wasn't enough.

Thank God Montreal is only a 4+ hour train ride away!

See you on the dance floor.

I'm surprised Sonic lasted almost a year.

It was a failed business model, and a lotta dreams, but honestly, it was virtually impossible to make that place work.

First of all, they spent a shitload on the sound and we had David Morales running his mouth saying, "my name is money". Well, apparently not.

The pricepoint was way too high on locals, and even higher for international talent. They kinda fixed it near the end, but too little too late.

At the start, they only had Saturdays happening and for a club to be open 4 nights a week, while paying rent every day of the month, and no alcohol, it was a recipe for disasters. They should have at least tried to rent out the space during the day (I know not for corporate events, but what about dance classes, or something like that). To be paying rent monthly but being open 4 nights a month, that is a recipe for loss...and how!

There's the rumour that INK bought the place, but we'll see if Victor Storm is right.

I know for a fact that Nevio from Sonic has been talking to some heavy hitters in the club scene in the past two weeks about investing into the place.

They clearly need booze, so that's where the catering/alcohol license comes in. (Look at Muzik Saturdays...no license other than the week to week catering license and they are making retarded money.) If Sonic can get a "clean name" to get a weekly catering license....it could do alright...not every week has to be licensed...so there is a big way around the no license thing...

Should be interesting to see what happens!!!

Yeah, I never understood that whole "catering license" thing.

Some nights there'd be booze, and I couldn't figure out what was "special" about those nights. Boa-Redux did the same thing.

Can someone shed some light on what this catering licence thing is all about?

i've only been to sonic once and i really liked the space, but in terms of a music policy, it didn't do it for me at all. and if it were stayeing open, there really wasn't anything coming up that appealed to me, either. so while it's too bad that it's closing cos it had potential, i don't really care all that much either.
