It think it would work in a club if it was promoted by people like Dom, but just as a TA solo thing I dont see lots of people showing up.

say we managed to get the Underground one friday night (basement of the warehouse), cover would be cheap, drinks are cheap as well. And we might be able to have downstairs access only (ie, you pay less and cant go upstairs) with a stamp or something like that. But people from upstairs could come chill to trance in the basement.

They have the pretty good sound down there, lots of room to dance, lots of seating, but the bathrooms are a hole down there.
or is that too 'we hate the warehouse' and nobody would go?

I think it would work in conjuction with the Saturday night trance shows that Drunken Monkey put on at Sambuca Lounge...they are soliciting for DJs and a night could be set up there. I temper this suggestion with the fact that I've never been to Sambuca Lounge or been to a Drunken Monkey event.

Sambuca is a hole.
I think its worse than Aux

Duely Noted

Build it and they will come...

nice idea.

hey
I'd be down for a Calgary TA meet.
If somebody wanted to throw a lil party than I could gather a couple of friends to come also...
possibly me and 2-3 other friends could help out by spinning for a little bit...
We'd even spin for free, we just want to spin for a crowd and have a good time.
If not than I'd still be down to hang out and chill somewhere... Warehouse or wherever it may be.
Lemmie know

im sure you guys have heard of www.fnk.ca, the rave site for vancouver.

fnk has meets at raves all the time, and there are tons of parties, big and small, thrown by its members. start something like that for calgary. TA is more of a worldwide thing. create something thats local and thats good so that all the ravers in calgary join. id say 60-70% of vancouvers ravers at least have an fnk account. go to it calgarians.

Sounds like a good idea... only problem I can see is turn out for a club, but like Vanilla said, if someone could promote it well it could have an excellent turn out. House party would kick ass as well.

He wasnt talking about a meet guys, we have those all the time. I think he was refering to us actually throwing a party.

what Im thinking is that some night in June, a residents night @ the Warehouse on a friday. Is that we get the basement. We get the street entrance. TA djs play.
If you want you can pay the lower cover and stay downstairs, or pay the normal cover and be allowed to go upstairs. People from upstairs would be allowed downstairs.
The bar would be open
the problem were getting to, is that we now need an extra doorgirl, 2 extra bouncer(one for patdowns, one for the stairway door) and an extra bartender.

I was going to approach Chris with this when I get home next week, and then hope that we could get 2 lines on a flyer that they would print off anyways. But I wanted to see if there is interest in attending and playing.
I dont think we would be able to pay any of the DJs, because I would hope to use the venue for free, and door profits/bar profits just go to the Warehouse anyways.
It depends on how many people we get out. I mean if we do it and 20 people come, I dont see how the wages for those 4 employees can be paid + some to the DJ.

Or maybe(and ill ask Chris about this too) we do it one day when theres an event upstairs. Having the 2nd door open will speed the lines up, keep people happy and make the 4 employees worthwhile. and we would still have the basement. We would have to come up with a system, but Im gonna try to meet with chris on it.
Its not to be a TA exclusive party (unless its a house party)

And one definite plus that the underground has over Sambuca, is afterhours. We can keep going as long as we like (well 7 AM) or until there is nobody left.
