Not good. |
First of all, many people have already gone back to partying in abandoned warehouses partially due to the lack of venues in Toronto. But I have to say that personally, I usually feel safer in a sketchy warehouse party than a sketchy club party. It's a completely different crowd and strangers do try to look out for strangers (although most people tend to know each other anyhow).
Less security?... well nine times out of ten there's actually no security (and no ems for that matter). With that said, the DIY spirit usually attracts at least a few responsible individuals. I went to one party where a girl may have been ODing. So, the party was temporarily shut down while some individuals (and party organizers) called 911 and took the girl to ems on the street nearby. After the coast was clear, the party continued.
At these kinds of parties responsible people are generally just fine. I haven't seen a fight or even rude pushy people like at clubs. Though I've never been to CZ I've heard of some pretty bad things going down there there including a complete disregard for human life (please prove me wrong). Is there really an "OD room"?
But I'll give you fire hazards...considering I've seen fire poi inside abandoned buildings lol
