Reasons I hate Arc/Lust/Lotus

- 45 minute line-up for coat check
- getting to the coat check counter to be told, "oops, sorry, we're all filled up right now, you'll have to wait"
- 15 minutes later finally getting the ticket stub
- the only ATM was broken
- the woman for admissions who tried to tell me it was 1:00 and I had to pay 70 for 2 tickets, when it was clearly 12.53 (after standing in a 5 person line for 15 minutes outside, and 15 minutes in another line just to pay inside)
- the women's bathroom was always out of toilet paper and smelled VERY bad
- the men's washroom had a 1/2 inch deep puddle of what Mercure says he hopes was just dirty, muddy water
- movement inside the venue sucked, with doorways between areas where 2 people could barely pass (jesus, I figured they'd at least have knocked down a few sections of wall)


Reasons I really like Roger Sanchez

- his music kicks ass! (and I'm not even really into house...)

sounds like the guv.

I was at Lotus Aug 2003 for Digweed and I do agree with Allegory, the place is a dump. Judging from her review nothing much has changed. Digweed's awesome set was the only thing that stopped me from leaving and I'm sure it was Roger's set that made most of you stay. Hope you guys had fun.

i give the venue a 6/10. the washroom was grose, and the line did take some time for no apparent reason. but other then that, it was amazing!!!

Roger the S FUckin Guy!!! wholey shit he had me on my feet the entire night! i got there just after 11ish, and the chick dj on was dropping some cool jazzy house. (i thought it was funny the second last song she dropped was bad boy bill - costa del sol when roger is ready to come on, and bad boy bill is playing just a few blocks over.

ROger easily gets a 10/10 from me. I couldn't believe how many songs i recognized in his set!!! so much quality. i really like that new jesse garcia track. i forget the name right now. I went nuts when axwell - feel the vibe came on. love that choon! The man knows how to move the crowd. THe vibe throughout the nite is what made it awesome. everyone was there for one reason, to go crazy to some amazing house choons!!! i ended up leaving around 4am wish i was there later. schools been fucking up my awakness levels, so i'll have to regain that during the christmas break. how long did he stay on til???

anyone that wasn't there missed some sweet house, ROger S knows how to do it!

Whats up to Tatgirl and Graham who partied for a bit before their early departure. Thanks to baystreetboi and alex for their accomdation. Alex, thanks for the hospitality and Jay thanks for putting up wit my drunken antics... girllovintvibe - i thought i recognized you from your pictures but i wasnt sure if it was you, didnt know your real name and didnt want to look like an ass LOL...

one song that was really cool that i didn't recognize was the one he dropped that says "here we go again" and the whole song was like a story. it was a pretty funny songs, becuase i was actually listening to the lyrics the whole way through haha.
