Respect to you for being upfront about your concerns. I am sure Sonic will respond to them.

Originally posted by rabbitjoker To be honest - I liked Sonic's original format: Bring top quality DJs and throw a great party for EVERYBODY. The audience composition of the original Saturday night parties did not bother me, nor did I ever have a night ruined. The "Saturday night Sonic product offer" was very clear to everybody who went to the club.

AMEN!

But it's obvious that the mixed format did bother many of the straight patrons, and that's why Sonic's management started talking about a so-called "identity crisis".. I suppose we can only blame the promotions team for being unable to bring a crowd who can tolerate others and their differences to build up an interesting crowd. Especially because Sonic has been heralded as Toronto's response to STEREO, a club that is in every DJ's top list as one of the world's best clubs, and even more considering that David Morales is supposed to be co-owner of both clubs As a matter of fact, I noticed he doesn't mention Sonic anymore in his web page or his myspace page.. Has he really parted ways with Sonic?

look forward to seeing you at our first *OPEN LATE* event featuring the

honestly... i love what u guys have done since late april.. but the go go bois and shows ... arent' necesscary.. leave those for fly and crews and tangos.... do what've u've been doing on a weekly basis... and showcasing the music.... that's what we all come for.... the music, the friends ..... and the good times.... the circuit.. as much as i love it.. is dead.... and moved on. the drag shows and overly muscular gogo dancers are passe. the reason we all came to sonic since u guys opened. was for unreal house music, on a weekly basis. and since then u have pretty much delivered.

I'd love for SONIC to officially clarify this to. Awhile back they mentioned they'd respond with a press release concerning all the changes when the rumours surfaced. No details yet???

Paul: Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

i think now that the night has a liquor licence the name of the night should change from "open" to "bottoms up" in celebration of the occasion

I think the ocurrences speak by themselves.... But somebody has to bring them up... And no, stop your conspiracy theories: I am in no way affiliated with any other club in Toronto or any other city. I'm just a dancer and music fan who really APPRECIATES the fact that Toronto now has a club that has world-class potential and doesn't want it go down the toilet. My 2 cents.

And to top it off, they are blaming "other establishment(s)" for their failure on getting proper licensing... CLASSIC!
