There was this young guy, claimed to write for the local paper.. was always digging for info on the "scene".. wierd times. I avoided the downtown club that you mean.. I forget the name.. but it was like having the Comfort Zone in a small town... Solid black windows, open 24/7 .. biggest heatscore ever. I still have my Pete Houle Mix lol.

It was called the "underground". It was underneath JC moon's on Walker rd. Biggest dump ever and Sandra Pupatello based all her ideas on "raves" from this one little place that held 100 people at most. Imagine that would be like going to Spin Cat and then proceeding to try and shut down Yorkville based on your findings. She is one truely misinformed woman. This is the incident that caused me to start questioning what politicians do and how the media presents issues. SARs confirmed my suspicions even moreso.

Louis, i dont think you have to go to such lengths to defend the people of Montreal. The group we had go down there for the Labour Day weekend were treated fabulous by everyone in the city. But even with that being said there is no denying the fact that there is a huge drug presence in the afterhours scene in MTL. If there werent drugs, the scene wouldnt be what it is today. But its not just MTL im talking about, its apparent in Toronto as well - its foolish to think otherwise.

But even with that being said, all the drugs in the world cannot support or build a scene like you guys have built up there. The passion for the music, culture, and afterhours scene is embrased far more in Montreal than it is in TO. Both cities have so much to offer, and i cant wait to get back there. (likely for BEB)

I agree with Floorwhore, the afterhours scene in MTL is very heavily centered on drug use, especially amphetamines of different sorts. My guess is that MTL is able to have their afterhours clubs open later than here in Toronto for example and close much later too.

This is not to say Toronto doesn't abuse the same types of drugs or whatever because a lot people do, it's just the mentality of partying here is significantly different than what it is in Montréal.

And Louis, you are right, not everyone is messed up but I guess when people that are not from MTL go to party there, they notice things that you are accustomed to already? It's all good tho, smoking a j on the street is commonplace there whereas it's much more low key here...
