That is complete shit. How random can these bouncers be?

While waiting in line for the Dish I only got to witness firsthand meathead type bouncers who were cracking wise and acted very chill, no ignorance at all. The two surveying the line up were very nice to everyone around me it seemed.

Then I hear these awful stories that keep happening to other people and it just makes me furious. That would've put me in a crap mood too Jeff.

hilarious steve!

As much fun as I had dancing with all of you and rockin' to great tunes the past couple weeks at TiL...it sounds like this isn't the type of place I would even want to grace my pressence with if the staff are going to be such dicks who think that just b/c they work at a so called "up-scale" bar that they're better than everyone!

Originally posted by Floorwhore I'll add to it. Tara, my buddy Tyson, his girlfriend Serin, and myself all arrived shortly after 11 to a near EMPTY lineup. After checking our ID's, he realised Serin was only 20. Tyson (nervous that he would not be able to celebrate his first 'night out' since he moved to Toronto), said something along the lines of "Well she looks 21", the bouncer then YELLS in his face "NO SHE DOESNT, SHE LOOKS 20, MAYBE EVEN 19!!!!!". And i mean YELLED. He then asked to see her shoes. Flashed the light on them, then proceeded to flash all of our shoes. He then looked me in the eyes, with a look on his face as if i fucked his mother right in front of him, and went over to another bouncer to have a conference of whether or not we should be let in. After a minute of discussion, they decided they'd let us in, but we didnt get the comps that the promoter had promised us. "Just go the fuck in", were the words i believe he uttered in total disgust. Brad Copeland was excellent yet again (nice chatting with you too brother), Cevin Fisher was spot on, and Scumfrog was good as well (but not as good as the last time i saw him at Boa-Redux.) Overall a good night out, but that episode to start the night off left a very VERY foul taste in my mouth. Fuck you 'elitist' pricks. Especially Mr.Black hat bouncer bastard who thinks his shit dont stink.

hopefully someone from the club is reading this stuff....i thought as long as you didn't look like a bum you got in? was thinking of hitting babs but don't think i'll go anywhere near this place now...i'm old and bald, they probably won't even bother to check my shoes before turfin me is it too late to bring back systems

seems like matt had a reasonable complaint as well (from TRIBE):

quote:

Originally posted by coleridge My only complaint was the door guy. No names found on guestlist for a bunch of people who were told they were on. That's fine ... this stuff happens. As well guestlist doesn't really mean anything anyways it seems, as it is still the same price. Guestlist girl was very nice about it, apologizing to everyone. Security guy then tells her in a loud voice "never say sorry to anyone". He then makes everyone wait in line a little bit longer while the club has about 50 people in it. This is a service industry and the people who work door are the first impression.

John or Ally, care to comment?

Does guestlist even exist at TiL?

Seems everyone paid the same amount whether on list or not.

As well, is smoking legal in this venue?

Even smokers themselves were complaining about the air quality.

Really too bad about this said "door guy with the black hat" luckily my crew never had to deal with him. As mentioned before we reserved a booth (10 of us) and VIP host "JP" took care of us. JP and the VIP servers were AWESOME - seems as though it maybe worth it for the management of this place to talk to this guy at the door as this stuff looks really bad on the club which otherwise is great all around....

we'll have to see what happens..

In Moscow (Russia) this bouncer thing happens at any more or less glamorous club.

Seems like anyone who spends $$$ on bottle service gets treated like kings and queens, where as people who look like they are there to actually enjoy the music, get treated like scum of the earth.

TiL: Just to let you know, you're going to lose close to half of your "SoHo" clientele if this keeps up. I for one, will not return without an explaination/apology, and a free pass to make up for the one i was promised from Friday. Even if it means missing some of my favourite dj's I cannot support this type of attitude. Being brutally embarrased, and yelled at in front of everyone in line, is uncalled for. Period.

I noticed that about the guest list- whats the point of being on it when BOTH lines are slow as molasses, and GL was not free or reduced? Lucky for some people I was handed 7 reduced passes, which I gave out to people I didnt even know (but were with TA's).

Ick to the smoking too.
