Looking forward to seeing the announcement. The question is, will it be enough to pull me from Richmond St. (Halloween is the best (re: only) time of year to go there ).

Was quite disappointed at last year's Beyer party at the Opera House.

Hope this year's is much better.

Beyer didn't play like he did the year before.
However, if he had played like the year before, people would complain about that too.

I will admit that the Opera House, despite being a pretty cool venue, just didn't have the same vibe that 99 did in 2006. I'd probably put Beyer @ 99 sudbury on my top 5 parties of all time (and I think a lot of other people would too). There was just something in the air that night!

Will agree. I was excited to return to the Opera House (which I'd been a many Hullas at). But it just wasnt right for Beyer (or probably techno in general, I'd say, personally).

And I agree that I think that Adam Beyer at Sudburry 99 was a simply legendary night. Even though ppl were saying it was going to be good and it was a 'not to be missed' type of event, I still had NO IDEA what I was in for.

Epic set and night in general! <3 Wow.

I think that The Opera House is an awesome venue. Especially for techno, and especially for Halloween. I didn't go to the Beyer party last year, but I can't think of a better venue for Halloween tbh.

Honestly, Graham, that's 100% (like, EXACTLY) what I said and yelled from the roof tops on TA before going last year...

But it just didnt turn out to be such, for me anyways.

Funny that your thoughts mirrored mine PERFECTLY though last year.

I actually saw Richie Hawtin there years ago and it was awesome.

Hmm. Interesting. I dunno. Maybe I'm jaded for all things there now that arent Hulla and HHC... it just didnt feel right being there dancing it out to Beyer... the crowd wasnt doing it for me, but maybe I subconsciously wasnt feeling it bc it was so different from what i was used to when id go there for Hulla parties.

Not sure. Oh well. Greate venue nonetheless.

Opera House isn't bad. It's a cool spot but security there can be hit and miss. FYI, every time I've been there they made each person take their shoes off during the search.

I might consider going to this but it looks like there also might be a Halloween rave so I'd rather go to that.

warehouse rave>opera house

lol, I actually remember them making me take my shoes off too.

Opera House can be a dope venue.

you just need to not have too many lights..

and the real biggie is the sound... I've been to so many events there where people use the house system.. it's not meant for dance music, but you can add to it to make it sound great. 4-6 more bassbins to the front of the stage and 2 stacks in the back corners, each with 2-3 bins and 2 tops to fill it out and give the 4 corner sound. dopeness.

The vibe and the venue was more that adequate last year...it was Beyer's set that was the missing piece.

I was at that party and it was pretty good, you're right.

Funny, I don't think I've ever been searched at the Opera House.
