As much as I hate to say it you are 100% right.....The problem is EDM and snobby crowd should not go together.

i was @ TiL for desyn and i had an amaaaaaazing time...
but last night...definitely went down as one of the not so
great ones...

we got there at 12:15 or so and we were in line for about
45 mins and when it was our turn the bouncer asked one of
my buddies, "how many ppl in your party?"

he told him that there is seven of us, and the bouncer says,
"sorry we cannot accomodate such a big crowd of guys" and
he just pushes the first 4 of us out of the line and lets
the next 3 go in...

after arguing with the bouncers for a few minutes and
convincing my buddies to not jet to footwork and give it
one more shot, the 4 of us went back to the end of the line...
split up in 2s, and went thru the same bouncer and got in
around 1:10am...

so yea they wasted alot of my time which pissed me off
and started my night on a bad note...

so just as i found my buddies and got a few drinks in the
system and blocked out all the retarded-ness i went thru...
it turned out to be a good time after all...

sanchez dropped an awesome set last night, it was my first
time seeing him and i'm waaaas impressed... great track
selection and bang on mixing ... it looked like he was
really pumped too and was interacting with the crowd which definitely spread alot of energy on the dance floor!!

i wish the lights hadnt turned on so early... i heard the
deep dish party went on till 8am????

i might just try my luck at TiL next time...

aaah... the over-crowded dance floor was quite a challenge

p.s. i got to meet my first TA... iLLnaDa hope to see
you and other TAs next time

The snobby ones always mistakenly go to TIL instead of DISTRICT which is right next door.
By the way, I was @ TIL for Desyn and had no problem getting in. My buddy was even wearing a hat and bouncers let him in.

i got in....and i had fun

thanks evryone for the birthday wishes!

Funny I have never had one single solitary issue at TIL, infact I get far more nervous when I enter GUV and there are 5 cops standing around overseaing the entrance way, while drug dealers shake hands and lift the "velvet rope" to let their drug endused crackheads in.

My biggest issue with TIL, is simple, the sound sucks it is weak beyond comparison and the reality is that the club was never meant to house DJ's who require decent acoustic technology. The venue is the biggest paradox ever. The club wants crowd A but DJ's bring crowd B, the average TIL clientele is expected to dress in clothing A, average electronic supported wants to have a comfortable experiance and therefor dresses in attire B. The sound quality was orginally set up for local DJ and therefor the sound is actually D (for its rating) while the sound expectation is supposed to be at a A+ level.

Having said all of that someone please explain how that place landed the contracts to some of the finest sound in the world? it does not all add up.

I wouldnt go back to that club even if it was- to see my favorite dj, 0$ admission, and they are passing out free hummers

Aiiiite...

I got there early I guess, about 10:40. My friends got there earlier than I have so I stayed solo in the guestlist line (Thanks John). 3 more of my friends walked by, and I had them join me in line, when one of them turned out to know the bouncer, got in the short line, and went through with no probs. I didn't get looked up and down once, and the guestlist girl was nice, and gave us reduced tix.

Regarding my 'style' for the night... as many of you know me... I rarely venture outside my home at the Guv, where I can totally be myself and dress whatever way I feel like. However I have been warned beforehand. So for the first time in over a year, I went to a club without a hat on, and developped the confidence of going with my shaved head, with a Mikhail Gorbachev-style scab on top of my head from a collision I had with a coral reef a few days earlier. I knew I couldn't wear my trademark Abercrombie t-shirts, so I took out a flowery Abercrombie dress shirt, with jeans and black suede shoes. No issues.

I'm sorry to hear most of you guys had trouble getting in. Reading all about it here is the first I heard of this. I really didn't get that impression at any time during my whole night. HOWEVER that would explain why there were SO MANY TA GIRLS there, and a few TA dudes. Sad about Sasha missing the night, he's always dressed right.

Nathan warmed up well, and Sanchez went dirty Dancing to an all-house music night was different from my usual Guv experiences, however it was quite refreshing for a change. I also was surprised to see my ex at the club, who was with a bottle service party. Totally shocked, as it was the first time running into her at a club after we parted ways. We were friendly nonetheless.

Dancing.... VERY energetic night. The electric aura emitted by you girls was awesome, and great meeting a couple of you officially for the first time, you know who you are, and are even prettier in person (k)!

I left early at around 3:15... (it's not the guv), and I I had a good time overall. If I can describe the whole night in one word... refreshing.

Exactly. So if someone wants to go to TiL, conform to their requirements or go to down the street to one of so many clubs on Richmond/Peter/Adelaide. Its their club, their rules.

The same people who own Guv own TiL.


and Regarding the bouncers, they are really not that bad with the exception of one and he works outside. I'm just a regular patron just like u guys and all I did was talked to one of the bouncers and asked "hey do u think its going to be busy tonight?"...and we just started a convo, I introduced myself to them and they introduced themselves to me and since then we r cool. Instead of treating them like bouncers try treating them like guys doing a job, break it down a bit, know what I mean. I arrived around 11:10 p.m. for Roger and the line was around the block. I went up to the Guestlist girl got my ticket and went right up to the front of the line and walked right in- no waiting. why? cuz a couple of weeks ago, I was nice to the bouncers. Yea I agree sometimes they can be idiots but all in all they are good guys. so please stop bitchin. if they treat u like shit, treat them nicer- atleast u still have class.

The problem is their rules change depending on each individual that enters the line. No one here would have a problem if they said you had to wear a Tux to get in because you would wear a tux. When two people wearing the exact same thing try to get in and only one of them gets in....there is a problem. Face it....all TiL is doing is trying to pick and choose which people are allowed in their club.

Why not just say only asians are allowed into the club...oh wait...someone would call that a racist thing....I guess looks do matter....pompus asses.
