Also happy to see White Label throwing their first party, loving the podcasts. Gonna be hot one no doubt!

I'm stoked that we are partnered up with the good peeps at Hidden Events on this our first official event! Victor has been one of my all time favorite DJ's and Producers for years and it will be an honor to have him play for us and to share the decks with him this Sunday!

The weather is looking STELLAR as well!

VICTOR CALDERONE BOAT CRUISE IS OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE INVOLVED! See you all on Sunday

I'll be there to do what I do.

This looks like it's going to be a fun time!

dumbfuck promoters oversold the boat and 50+ people with tickets got turned away. had a great time in the parking lot.

Kinda weak if true... Boats are great fun but you really have to plan your day around them. I'd be royally pissed to have tickets in hand and not get on.

How was Victor Calderone's set? No reviews?

Actually? That's so unprofessional, who was in charge of the event? Need to make a mental note not to bother going to their parties if this is how they're running things, so embarrassing and shows a pretty general lack of respect for their clients. Shame.

What time did you arrive? Were you not offered a refund as well?

Hidden Events - the people that run Cache in St. Catharines. They locked the gates and said nobody else was getting on. My buddy told one of the promoters that his business partner was a piece of shit who lacks the basic ability to count and he said he was going to come find him and beat the shit out of him. Real professional.

Got a refund but that wasn't the point. I was there before they started boarding - just so happened to be near the back of the line. Meanwhile I watched them take cash sales up at the front for people without tickets. This is a boat with a strict legal capacity, not a fucking club. You can't do that.

I heard that this happens in many nightclubs. I can't say about the promoters of the boat cruise, but the reasoning in the nightclubs is they know there's a certain percentage that will end up not going for whatever reason. So they gamble and make extra dough.

Like I said, this may not necessarily be the case in this particular instance as there's no info to support it.

Quite different on a boat though:
-People can't leave early making room for others
-Boats have extremely strict and policed capacities to follow whereas clubs can often break theirs without punishment
-Can only enter a boat at one time thus you're either in or not, whereas with a club you can just tell ticket holders to wait
-Much less chance of people bailing on a $50-70 boat cruise than a $20 club ticket
-Can easily have 2 lines at a club where 1 is for door charge and the other is for ticket holders with priority

And I think the worst imo is the end result of not getting on the boat. With a club on a fri/sat night if shit happens you are left with several other options often within walking distance. With a boat you usually woke up early, predrank with a crew, trekked to parking lot city on queens quay, etc etc if you are not getting on then you have no other options. Perhaps CZ, but if you're in boat mode odds are you don't want to go jam in a pitch dark basement with no drinking.

There's promoters (Platform, Ozmozis, Dirty Cycle, I/O) that put on boat after boat without any issues. If there's a logical explanation and this isn't the regular greed backfiring then hopefully someone says so. If not, I doubt I'd go on a boat cruise put on by these guys any time soon.

I hope there is.

Outside of problems discussed, I had a fucking good time. The cruise was full, there was a good guy/girl mix and the tunes were outstanding. I very much dug both Manzone & Strong and Victor's set.

As I've told people before, I like the cruises as most ppl leave any hangups at home and you get to see many at their best behavior. Everyone is so chilled to talk to... regardless if they be DJ's or not. You also get to chat with some that, due to their hectic evenings in the clubs, are approachable to just shoot the shit.

Here are the pics I took, the video will come soonish.

LOL you know what I mean.

For me it was good to see one that packed for once (at least compared to the ones I've been on).
