Whoah! No kidding. Here's the drama ass I went through to get the wristband.

- I called Guv and asked which line I should get into to buy the wristband. Girl says "KH - tickets will be sold at the Orange room entrance at 11pm.
- I get in line at KH at 9:15. First in line w/ Sgt. Foo and friend. Wait until 10:15 to finally get up to buy my ticket.
- Give ticket girl $40 and ask for wristband as well (just to see if I could get one). She says "no wristbands will be sold in KH. You gotta go into the Guv". I say "crap. The Guv line is around the block - I've been here for an hour". She says "sorry, can't help you".
- I go to ID checker guy in the guv line and explain the situation. He says "too bad, go to the back of the line" - the line is probably 300 people long.
- Being the quick thinking guy that I am - I go about 20 people back from the front and explain my situation and some nice dooder named Greg lets me go in front of him.
- I pay the ticket girl in Guv my $15 and ask "where do I get a wristband" she says "orange room". It is now 10:25.
- So now in the Guv - alone - I go to orange room. It is closed. I ask the bouncer guy guarding the door "when can I get a wristband". He says "12:00". I think "shit".
- So I've got 1.5 hours to burn in the Guv by myself. So I get a stamp and head upstairs and figure I'll chill away from the crowd for a bit.
- I talk to some people also waiting not realizing they are Julia (Sexy Persian) and BF.
- 11:30 comes along and I figure I should go get in line to get into the orange room. Line is about 3 people long.
- Nat, Graham, Julia and BF arrive chat for a bit - but they got wristbands (thanks to the BEST DJ in toronto - mark o). They leave to try and wing their way into KH.
- 12:00 comes - orange room still closed - line is now about 70 people long - surrounding the bar under the balcony.
- 12:30 comes - no open orange room. People start to push, shove and get angry. I feel screwed and am questioning even going to get the wristband.
- 12:45 the finally open the orange room - stampeed of people rush towards the KH doors. Bouncers say "not open yet, wait in line".
- I wait for another 5 minutes, get my wristband and then finally find the rest of the TAs in KH.

Bottom line: poor people movement plans, nobody who worked at KH had a clue what was going on and it wasn't communicated effectively to the patrons. Charles - maybe next time post the process on the website, and then follow through as per plan.

At this point I was frustrated, in a crappy mood and uninterested. Luckily my mood quickly changed when about 1 hour later I got Oakie's autograph.

My OFFICIAL review

Here is my official review (and I'll make it quick):

Dekoze - Mofo! I missed it. But it was good chatting with you on stage for a while. You're a class act!

Sven Vath - I was have trouble getting into his sound when I first got into KH. Maybe it was my crappy mood from the wristband thing or perhaps it was just that I had never quite heard his type of sound before in a club. Not to say it wasn't interesting - I was just having trouble moving to it (too slow perhaps around 1am??). I went off to Oakie - then headed back with about 30 minutes left in Sven's set. It seemed to me while I was away @ Oakie - Sven flipped a switch, becuase I was really enjoying the toons he was playing. Sven's last half hour was awesome! So - first bit of Sven: 6/10, last 30 minutes of Sven: 8/10.

Mauro - For some reason he has never been as good as the time I saw him last year around this time @ SystemS. But at least I figured Mauro out: Mauro goes between moments of brilliance and moment of boring - not much inbetween. Every time I was about to bust out in moves - Mauro decided to take a smoke and chill. Oh well - at least now that I figured him out I won't expect anything different. Mauro score: 6/10.

The TAs that were present were wikkid! Probably one of the best TA crowds ever!

----

Unrelated note: shit I was blabbin' like a buffoon. Sorry for yappin' so much - but Mauro's music wasn't exactly inspiring me to dance - so I had to do something. Same goes for apres-party - yap yap yap I go.... Arnold lubs you!

Jon Jon - next time lets bring lawn chairs so we don't have to sit on j cloths. wah ha ha!

And cheers to the 4:30am crew! Lets make that a tradition!

Big WOOT for you Nat! I love every trip to TO I'm not a techno fan but I had a blast that night especially after the fucked up wrist band policy and my crazy experience. Can't wait to come up for more!

Apologies to everyone for not posting my pics last nite. There's a reason:

Came home last nite to see my modem doing something very wierd... Called Rogers. This is what went down:

Even I can be banned from something much larger than a message board...

Rogers suspended my service for a week (with no refund to my account, mind u), cuz apparently some virus has been sending off spam emails from my computer. They sent me some warning to my Rogers acct (which I never check), & since I didn't fix the problem, they've suspended me. We just installed antivirus software to the computer the other day too, and for some reason, it won't even work now (some virus probably has inabled it too). So they won't allow me back online til this Sunday, & if the problem is fixed. There's no way they can un-do the suspension either, and if it happens again, I get suspended for a month! Assholes.

So, that means I can only check my email from work, and I won't be on any IM programs. I'll miss u all. Thank gawd for the phone.

I've sized down the pics, but dunno how I'll get them to Beh now. Hopefully I can solve this issue from work today.

hey nat, with so many of us into computers on the board, i'm sure there's someone who can help you with your virus problem & preventing further ones from occuring. everyone should have access to full functionality of their computer and the net.


next time i'm in TO, i can fix it for ya, if no one gets to it b4 me that is

i'd come over and fix it for you no problem

Thanks babe. My buddy who set up my computer (I work w/him too) is sooooo swamped with his tests at school (til Dec 10!), that he doesn't even have the time to fix it. All he wants to do is reformat it, but uploading all the programs again will take a lotta time too.

What a nice 'welcome to the world of PC's" this has been....

I'll have to whine so much he'll finally break down & do it.
