First of all. No matter who will be spinning at Guv EVER again, no matter how big, no matter how inexpensive, no matter what conditions in my favour,
I WILL NEVER VISIT THE GUVERMENT COMPLEX EVER AGAIN!
Allow me to explain. First of all the positive. It was great to see all the TAs and the music was WILD WICKED While I was there and I am Very sure it was for the rest of the night. I had a great time for that part.
Now for the bad.
The crowding of this event was ABSOLOUTELY WORSE that Labour of Love Last year! Everytime I wanted to dance some person keeps bumping into me trying to get by. Every 3-10 seconds I got someone bumping by me trying to get out of the dancefloor NO MATTER WHERE I STOOD!. I was trying to dance with trancekitten in about 5 duifferent places. Left right and center, front back. Everywhere there is someone trying to get by and at some points a whole Fucking Train of people at a time. Not just one or 2 but 4 or more. We did not pay a total of $53 (on cover, 1 drink each and coatcheck) to be fucking Pushed around in a club because it is too packed or by people who can't stay put. I payed that amount to have a great time and enjoy Armin in full force. We were SO FUCKING ANNOYEd by all the people pushing by us and trying to get by while we tried to dance that we left just b4 armin Started. I am sorry but this time, that was too much. How the fuck do u have fun while like one dozen of people per minuted keep bumpinginto u? If I Wanted to be in a pool of human bumperboats and pay more than 50 bucks to do it I would but I was expecting ot be entertained and have a good time.
I would ask for my money back but I know that those people would not give me back one cent. This si why they have all the rooms open, so that they can increase the legal capacity of the club and cash in more on the venue.
Due to all this I have lost TOTAL AND UTTER FAITH of ever having a good time @ the Guvernment complex EVER AGAIN. Someone could give me free tix to any even in that club and I would refuse and encourage them not to go there. I will never EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-EEEEEEEVER go that club again even if Jean michel Jarre and Kraftwerk were to do a live PA and IW ass allowed to by pass the line and enter for free.
I have never had as many problems with a club as much as Guv.
Unless this place was under new management or owned by a different person and got the act together then I will visit it again.
I am sorry that I missed Armin, but even this was too much for me. I can tolerate crowding to large degrees but this was far worse than ever experienced. If anyone did not expereince what we had to then I wish I could have been in your shoes and I thank god that u did not have to experience that.
The E*Master will never visit the Guv EVER AGAIN. |
That's unforunate to hear Frank. I had a very similar experience at LoL 2002 and i vowed the same thing. But i have come to the realization that this problem seems to be limited to the Guv main room.
Last nite at PVD, the Koolhaus was very bearable, and infact even comfortable at some moments. I think if you're ever to return, just make sure that it's on an open access nite and just stay in the Koolhaus for the most part. I absolutely loathe the Guv mainroom in so many ways and very few DJ's at all would draw me to stand there for a single night. The Koolhaus is just such a better venue with it's higher ceilings, larger capacity, and strategically placed washrooms.
And no worries, when u hav an army of about 100+ TA's creating space for ya, it won't be so bad anymore truss me ..
