Plaza of Nations RE-OPENS!!!!!

Well the Plaza of nations after almost a year...myabe over, of being banned as a venue is finally being re-opend on february 23rd for another show. Its called 'Wett' and its being put on by Twisted productions. Jon the Dentist, and Ingo are headlining.

Im sure twisteds headliners will show up as they deal with Jon the Dentist all the time and they arnt going to fuck around with the plaza on the line. The city will be watching this party really close and if everything isnt perfect the plaza will be shut down again.

Ok in my own opinion the plaza is by far the best venue in vancouver. Like all my favorite partys have been there over the years, i swear to god ive seen jon the dentist like 4 times there.

dont miss out if you have never been there

I want to go but I totally do NOT trust twisted. Something is almost guaranteed to go wrong be it their fault or not. And after there oversold spooky left a 1000+ people outside. I don't know these twisted people but I really don't think they care to much about the people and music, just money. I don't want to bash people it's not my style but that's my opinion.

I love the Plaza too, but best venue? I hate when the sun comes up and see every body all fucked up. It's just something I don't like to see.

Ya Twisted has been fucking for the last little while but just remember that for close to 3 years solid they were the most reliable company in Vancouver. For 2 years like every twisted party i went to just kicked ass.

People getting left outside is nothing new, and pretty much every time its not the promoters fault. The fire Marshell has the authority to look inside and say "Thats to much" and stop the rest of the people in line from going in. Tahts what happend at Exerts Imix party, and twisted 2001.

Actually at iMix there were counterfeit tix on sale. Hell I even saw some Vietnamese lady with a box of VIP tix for $80. The funny thing was is they were wrist bands and there were no wrist bands at that party. Genesis security didn't give a shit they saw something that looked like a ticket and let people in.

As for Spooky there were no conterfeit tix to speak of. The problem was they sold like 4000 tix but had a guest list of close to 2000. So the fire marshell closed the doors. Capacity is 4700. I heard this straight from PNE security. So in this situation they fucked over people. As for twisted2001, I have no idea there could have been counterfeit tix there. I just don't want to go to a party and worry if I am going to get in or is the headliner going to show. I will not spend money on a twisted event again.

ya i guess the guestlist does it. When i was flyering for pure I had a guest for me and pretty much as many of my friends as i wanted and all i was doing was handing out flyers

the plaza is sketchy.

its such a nice venue, but the vibe and the sketchy people (non-typical canadian rad kids) that go ruin it. i hate that place.


Posted by Special_K on Jan-25-2002 04:26:

Ahhhh the age old dilemma: Vibe .VS. Music.

I buy plaza tickets for the music and nothing else. Personaly ill be with a group of like 15 of my closest friends so the vibe will be just fine for us.


Posted by sothis on Jan-25-2002 04:29:

yea :/ unfortunately when i come up, ill be with at most like 3 friends from down here and i dont know any canadian buddies really. and in general i dont get a very friendly vibe when i try to talk to kids up tehre so i usually stick with myself.

the music there is good tho sometimes, i must admit..

Ya know I like the vibe of a small party but I only truly go for the music. In fact I don't see the point of a small party anymore. You'll never see a big name DJ at one, you'll just see the locals that I've seen 100 times. I want to hear new music from the forein DJ's playing promos and other stuff that can't be found around here. Thats why I like the so-called 'massives'. I don't give a shit about 14 year olds, people pukeing, people sitting on the dance floor and other sketchy things going on. Its all about the MUSIC.

yea, tho you could do the alternative that i like to do and thats just go to a club... id much rather go see tiesto or pvd in a club (which i did) than at a huge party.


Posted by Special_K on Jan-25-2002 23:27:

man at small partys i get soooooo bored. The last three small partys i went to we got to the venue at like midnight and left at between 4 and 5. I like being able to walk around and no bump into the same people every 30 seconds.

Ya but unfortuatly the big name DJs never come to clubs on weekends only weeknights. It really sucks when you have to wake up at 4:30 to get to work in the morning.

Thumbs up CLUBS

I've said it once and i'll say it again. Dj shows are the best at CLUBS!

Your totally right!

Who wants to bet Jon The Dentist won't even show up?

DJ Signum - Spooky 6 - OCT
Lock n Load - Simple 5 - NOV
DJ Sakin - NYE - DEC

for 3 months in a row, none of Twisted's headliners have shown up.


Posted by sothis on Jan-31-2002 00:39:

yea.. unfortunately, that seems to be the case recently with not only vancouver, but seattle, portland, and other major cities' parties as well.

its pretty sad, that we have to go to a party and hope the headliners show up.

and dj sakin was supposed to be in canada on new years??? i didnt know that, else i would have gone!

I didn't hear about DJ Sakin either, I didn't see it on the Twisted Experience flyer?

It is very disappointing, It not often that we DJ's like that around here.

Jon the Dentist showing up? Well S/K was right, he has been here before so he will probably be there. But I would not be surprised if he no-showed.

Well he was on the ORIGINAL flyer and then as the month progressed the new flyers were released and DJ Sakin's name was taken off...


Posted by Special_K on Jan-31-2002 21:40:

Jon the denstis will show up, i would bet my life on it. Twisted deals with Jon and ollie Jaye all the time. Im sure by now they even have some sort of deal worked out.

Like i said before twisted isnt going to fuck around for this party because the city will come down on him.

Oh ya just so you guys know Twisted wasnt involved with the actual production of the Experience 2001 party.....it was Swing Kids so if a headliner didnt show it was swing kids fault.

Where did you see dj sakin advertised? i didnt see that on the flyer.


Posted by Special_K on Jan-31-2002 21:42:

oh i didnt read the bit about sakin being on the original flyer.

Man you cant hold that against the production if they print new flyers. there could have been a million reason out of the promoters control that could have taken sakin off. Pre flyers almost always have dj's that arnt confirmed listed


Posted by jesten on Feb-01-2002 04:06:

swing kids are just as bad as twisted. And S/K don't bet your life dude, you never know.


Posted by jesten on Feb-01-2002 13:35:

I guess your right S/K, if hes in Edmonton near the same time hes here in Van he should.

I sorry to keep bashing them S/K, I can tell your friends with them since you defend twisted all the time. If they 6 good no problem parties in row, I will start defending them too.


Posted by Special_K on Feb-01-2002 20:29:

Oh man im not friends at with tham at all. Im just defending them because Ive been to way more good twisted partys then bad

Your lucky, I've never been to a good one.

Plaza?

I personally don't like Plaza. You know, it's very difficult to find my friends if I l can't see them. I like to go to 7 Alexander on Fridays which has Trance by Twisted. Twisted as a party? I need to think about it.
