Now that I finally feel normal enough to actually write something, here goes.
First I want to thank Nevio, Will, & Carey for all your hard work and dedication to this place over the past 11 months. Your love for the music and the EDM scene in Toronto is truly inspiring. A big thank you goes out to all the Promoters, Hosts, Gerry and all the boys that kept that place running smoothly, my ladies and gents in the Coat Check, the Door Staff and all the Bouncers. I still say we have the nicest staff in the city. This place couldn’t have run without everyone involved. 
Now on to the night…
I had mixed feelings about this night as it came closer. While I was very upset that my second home was closing, I was also ok with it. I knew I couldn’t miss the closing party of Sonic, so when 1am rolled around off I was to say goodbye.
I walked in at about 1:30 and the place was already rocking to the tunes that Jeff was laying down. Jeff watching you behind those decks was unreal babe. The track selection and flow of everything was just perfect. I have to say I think that may have been the best I have ever heard you play. The best part was seeing how comfortable you were while playing up there. It was almost like you have been doing it forever. I was saying to Liz while we were in the booth that it is so different being up here when it is one of your friends playing. I felt like a proud mom, hehe. Congratulations you Whore. I am glad that you got to play up there at least once and show everyone what you are really made of.
Brad as always was awesome. I couldn’t stop dancing from start to finish. Wish I could id tracks, but I am the worst for that. Near the end of Brads set I decided that it was time to get up on the ‘bass bin’ (its not called the podium)  I really wanted to be rested for Nevios set, so I was kneeling down waiting till he got on the decks. Once Nevio was up there it was go time. My favorite memories of Sonic are being up there just “dancing like no one is watching” I was very much looking forward to closing the club this way. But due to being kicked off by random sketchbags I only got to really enjoy being up there for about half of Nevios set, and decided it best not to try again I was very happy to be up there for the fashion television tune though.
A little frustrated I decided to take a walk and find some peeps that were supposed to meet there. Found some of them at the back and decided to stay there for awhile. Because of the time change I was so confused as to why the night was just flying by as it was. The remainder of the night totally went by in a blur. Heard many good tunes from Cajjmere, but was totally beat after his set (I think I am getting to old for this) and decided that it was time to take off. Left the club at about 8am and felt quite satisfied with the way it went.
The crowd there was just perfect. The club was nicely full (where were all you f*ckers 2 months ago?) and the all the DJs played really well.
Thank you again to Nevio for bringing us such an amazing playground. Thank you to everyone that came out to support every weekend, and to those that showed your support in other ways. Sonic will be missed.
A side note: If you decide that you really want to be on the ‘bass bin’ during a DJs set then do the DJ a favor and DANCE, don’t just stand there Oh and please don’t just do the two step.
