Originally posted by Republik Well that was one hell of a start. All in all it was a great night but we need to apologize to a large group of people who did not manage to get in (regular patrons, friends and also my family members). We basically were slammed very early in the evening between general admission and guest list leaving a bit of a mess to deal with outside on Richmond Street. The local police helped us control the crowd but ultimately it spilled out into the street. We had to clear the area for safety reasons so we where forced to close the guest list early to clear up the Republik door leaving us to do an "in/out" policy at the Vision entrance to control capacity. The club itself was at capacity very early (around midnight). For the coming weeks we are making some changes to how we are handling guest lists that will hopefully clear out the congestion on the street. We will also be running a late night reduced guest list for the TA members to make sure you get to hear the talent we bring in. We will make an announcement on how it works when all the details are worked out. We definitely want to make sure that everybody gets in and enjoys what we have done. Remember we are one week away from our first "after the vote" party with John 00 Fleming and our first late nite party...
