Well, after all those TOTA worries of dress code and "21+" etc, they didn't bother really enforcing either! In fact they didn't even check my ID, nor spend time assessing my "trendiness."
Well I am the one that had the problem with the entry. I got to the club at 11 after work meetings downtown the previous 2 days - line up - or rather the crowd standing in front of the bouncers - same old TIL - was too much - so I went to another bar to meet up with co-workers and headed back at 2:30 with 7 co-workers. I had been wearing dress shoes and jacket all day so I had changed to jeans, tshirt with a shirt over top and white adidas trainers (only wore 10 times maybe) was told by the bouncer I couldn't go in because of my shoes - I questioned them about the policy but in their typical TIL bouncer style they didn't have time to talk or listen to anything. If I wasn't at work meetings I wouldn't have been able to get dress shoes easily from home and wold have missed Deep Dish. Went back to my hotel, changed my shoes, went back and got in. Once inside I noticed hundreds of other people with running shoes on, old, dirty, WTF?
Wasn't going to let it ruin my night, music was great. Will go back next week for Scumfrog - but that will probably be it.
As I stated in the event listing - this "style code" is stupid. If you want a dress code, have a dress code - don't leave it up to the bouncers - obviously the only reason I didn't get in was because the bouncers didn't like my shoes because I walked right in after changing in dress shoes.

*my friend saved our nite she called and said to come back at 1:30 and so we did and walked right in...heard The world is mine- david guetta and i was like oooh shit!!
*coatcheck was full downstairs …so we went to the one on the second floor where I bumped into jon jon who confirmed and reassured that THE DISH was on fire!!! Phew!!!!
*it was all INSANITY from then on….
*Kelly u looked like u were havin a blast the whole time….all the TA’s were rippin it up and by the end of the nite…we had an audience lol….there were some non TA’s dancing right by us I can’t remember names but HOLY SHIT…these guys were going nuts like its nobody’s business!!
*to my ladies u all looked great ****muuah**** EMMA girl if u read this….U were the only reason why I survived till the end hahahah nuthin but fire comin outta u Woooot! Pleeeeeeeez stay hahaha; Hilary ur friend Lindsay is a tres cool chic!!
*a special thanks to Graham and Ryan; u two are the biggest DD fans that I know of and u were only smiles that nite going nuts ..it was great! We killed it ---frc!
*to my Persians …thank u for leaving ur flags behind hahahahaha….and to the h town boyz u guys are crazy but I love you!
*I really liked the selection of tracks…wasn’t feeling the Madonna track just cuz it didn’t belong there imo!

Amazing party ... everyone in the club was enjoying themself and nuff smiles and positive vibez going around.
The club istelf is just outstanding! You guys noticed the flyer concept and the design of the club is totally on point? Crazy shit!
Deep Dish played really good and smooth! Very nice transitions and smooth mixing.
I was a bit worried about the line up, when I took a peek outside and it was pure chaos. I hope everyone got in ok and I'm really sorry if you waited in line for a along time. In the future it will be improved by 10x with getting everyone in, remember ... it was the grand opening and they were rushing to get things up and running before the doors opened up.
Hope to see everyone next week for ScumFrog / Cevin Fisher!
Thanks for all those who came out ... I had such a blast!
PS.
Yeah yeah yeah, laugh at John's normal gear all you want ...
