Cheers mate I want to quit (all types of) second-hand smoking dammit! I wish they implemented this widely too, but then again you'll have all the smokers complaining...

Originally posted by Viceroy There is a club in St. Cathrines that I've been too a few times, and they have 2 floors. Upstairs it's very chill, ambient music playing, candles, couches and NO SMOKING! Downstairs is the pumping tunes, and peeps can smoke down there if you want. The club is called Vivid. Someday us non-smokers will prevail! Peace, Steve

i wish more places in toronto would adopt not only the smoking part, but more importantly the CHILL part....
i've always longed for places with couches, candles, ambient or downtempo tunes - places like that in t.o. always get quickly swamped by college st. twenty somethings, and the vibe becomes 'be seen' instead of just have a beer and chill...

and i meant no disrespect to system, i meant it more in a very general way - as in, the weekend options in toronto have become more habit than innovation

Hey Steve. Well my friend, in some places they already have. For those who don't know, in California it's now three full years since smoking was banned in ALL restaurant, bars, and clubs. It's awesome there, you can actually breathe and see when you're dancing! Why in the world can we not have the same policy here? No offence to smokers whatsoever, but if no smoking policies have been in place for most other workplaces, why not for this one?

By the way,Vivid sounds cool. Gimme a shout next time you gonna head that way, I may join you and check it out. Same goes for you liquidchick (and by the way welcome, don't recall seeing a post from you before).

Just wanted to answer a few questions...

Renaissance is a collaboration of elements of Destiny and Lifeforce - not just one or the other. We decided a more mature and sophisticated approach to throwing events was needed in this city and Renaissance is out first big splash into this genre. This does not mean the end to Destiny or Lifeforce events in the future - we just wanted to create a choice for people and try to inject some fresh life into the scene!

We understand its a few bucks higher than your standard massive at the CNE or something like that, but its an issue of the venue costs - Roy Thomson Hall is basically the Carnegie Hall of Canada, not some big square warehouse or club - this is where the BIGGEST names in the clasical diciplines come to perform when they play in Toronto as it is like the finest accoustically designed room in Canada. While this will create an amazing event, it also comes at a steep price for us. Even with sponsorship it is unlikely that the event will be profitable - but it will be fun! Come check us out - we know you will be glad you did - its gonna be a gret show and is exactly what this city needs!

One minor housekeeping not - OLA is not selling tickets for any events anymore including this one, so please don't head down there for your Renaissance tickets. Also, we have added Tripp at the Fairview Mall as an additional outlet.

OS

Guess the only thing I'm worried about is where does the dancing happen.. I've never been to RTH, but aint in an auditorium, with more room to sit than to dance, or do you guys expect people to dance on and between chairs and such...

About the ticket price, at first clance its a bit steep for people used to going to clubs evrey weekend, but quite honnestly, its a good price

I guess the people that can bitch are students who cant afford it.. (Like HONNESTLY, you should really have student discounts !!), because there's a LOT of people on OSAP, going to school fulltime, and such who dont make money like they used to when they were in high school and shit, so are supporting the scene less. (yours truely, who'll be broke at least for the next 2 years, and more if I continue to grad school)

.. my rant =0

Good one, sylphin... cuz I can recognize myself in that comment!
I am definitely broke already, and the only events I am checking out in the next couple of months are those cheap ones... cuz $40 just doesn't come that easily to full time Univ. students on OSAP, like myself...

ditto. Sounds like a suit and tie event because of the price and the location.. and being pressed for cash and on OSAP doesn't help one bit

question to promoters: how many people do you expect to see at this event?

Fly With Me

hey all...

i'm not a part of destiny or its affiliates, but come on... they are providing a stellar lineup in a "unique" venue. it's what they promised and what they are delivering. the all ages scene has always looked good... and now the 19+ events are looking up. although the "hype" may not be all there like possibly expected, this is a step in the future of having different venues for events in toronto.

however i will agree with some peeps who say that this party seems like it will be quite posh... i mean, roy thompson hall... "dress to impress".... i guess it's meant to be that way in a sense to celebrate almost a new beginning for destiny/lifeforce in the scene.

jus my thoughts... peace

aj

Promoters please reply

Everyone I know wants to hit this party ... but everyone is CLUELESS about your dress code policy !!! "Dress to IMPRESS" (No HATS and NO Bandana) If the policy means we have to wear formal gear ... ALOT of ppl won't go to this.

Are we allowed to wear
(In respectable and clean cut appearence *Even if it's baggy*)

Phat Pants
Nylon Pants
t-shirts (long sleve and short sleve)
plaid and polo shirts
hoodies
*** RUNNING SHOES !!!??? ***

It's great to see LifeForcce and Destiny holding 19+ events. These 2 were my fav production companies back in the days. Screw the little kiddies ... they are the trouble makers nowadays. (Even in the recent years ... most of the crapp that went on at raves were from ppl over the age of 19 ... it's the atomsphere that triggers it. EX: Being all THUGGED OUT or testing how much substance indivuals can handle.

If Destiny and LifeForce throw 19+ events from now on ... once again you'll get 101% support for me and your regulars fans. We're all grown up now and it's about time to move on the better things in life. 19+ PARTIES !!!
