Calling all web designers...... Help us save nightlife in Toronto
b4-koz and I have concluded that the current situation with nightclubs is most likely going to get worse before it gets better. Although now is not the time to make some noise at city hall, we want to be prepared in case the time does come. All it takes is one more incident at a club (or banquet hall/donut shop or whatever the media decides to call a club). If this happens you know that this will turn out the same way as the pitbulls did.
What we need to do is create a website for if and when the time arises that we need to organize and preserve our way of life. The problem is that b4-koz and i are both useless when it comes to web design. If you love your scene and you are willing to donate time to help create a website to prepare in the event that we need to organize, please contact either b4-koz or myself.
The time to act is now or else we will end up living the lives that everyone else forces upon us.
I cant speak for all clubs, but Boa is better than it has ever been and is continuing to grow.....

After that single mom shooting incident a few weeks ago the politicians are targetting all after hours clubs. It's the island dwellers that are causing problems for the Docks right now.
http://www.petitiononline.com/petition.html perhaps?
Have online petitions ever worked?

The venue owners (who are the main stakeholders) should be organizing and financing some sort of awareness campaign.
Hand a flyer out addressing the issue with action items as patrons leave the venue.
Sign patrons up for email lists to get notified of developments/etc when they enter the venue.
Use the ZOOM bathroom spots for public awareness messages.
-------
As much as it is our "lifestyle" at stake - it is their BUSINESS at stake. I'd expect the whole industry to come together and organize a full assault on politicians, patrons and surrounding businesses.
It will definately take some help from the owners but if it appears that THE VOTING PUBLIC is angry by this it's only then that politicians will really care.
The only way to make politicians care is to show them numbers and relate it to their future as a politician.

I had a lot of similar idea's. I think a lot of clubbers would actually give this some attention.

So we have one person willing to help with the site.
Anyone else?
And the reason for the site will be a focus point for literature and advertising such as what was mentioned before. Also it would be a place where people could go to find out how they can take action themselves whether it be through letter writing or demonstrations.

i don't think anything is changed in nightlife.
it's pretty much the same....
no need to waste time or web space for a website.
arek there are some things happening in the background which are still coming to light and I think that all of us would like to take a calculatated approach to this situation, rather than being too reactive and stirring shyte up...and bc we are all contributing our free time, I think most of us would like to proceed in this cautionary manner so we don't waste anyone's time creating something that won't go anywhere.
That said, Jay and I will be posting newz updates if something major occurs. However, we are also dependant on the input of other TAs too.
If anyone hears anything....even if it just a small rumour, then we would really appreciate it if you could post it in this thread.
Chris b4 we contact you or anyone else, we are waiting on one more newz/update...also, I will be contacting a club owner+ soon to get their outlook on the situation. Once I have these, then we can proceed...I'm sure you understand that we had to put the werd out first on the forum to see who would be willing to contribute time for free...and yes I'm sure we will still like your input with this(if your still interested)....so just hold for a bit while Jayx1, I and The highroller huddle.
amb_ , LittlePoonzgirl and TrickDaddE...you honour us with your offer 
Thanks everyone
EDIT: Jay...about "b4-koz and i are both useless when it comes to web design" Uselss? who said this? I'm not useless...I just don't like working hard at something others can do in less time
