Finally - my review are you ready???
This evening was an important one for me for many reasons.
First of all - the fact that I would be seeing a lot of people that I haven't seen for a while and some that I knew I didn't want to see this night had alot of possibilities for interaction on many levels.
That said
I spent an enjoyable evening with my friend Mikey and was quite looking forward to the fact that it was his first real clubbing experience and of course as an ambassador of good times I wanted him to have an awesome/perfect/drama free time.
It also put me in an awesome mood to start the evening because if worse came to worse I had one person there to spend the night with in case all else failed.
So we got to the Gallery at around 10:30 worried about a potential line-up that wasn't there because the doors never opened until almost 11:30 - UGGHH - that bothered me - because of course we were on the list (thanks PAT!!!:)) and we were supposed to just waltz right in like VIP - again - for me personally I didn't care as much (though it was F'ING COLD!!) LOL! But ya - perfect scenario didn't happen and we waited outside for like an hour - but the conversations outside with Christina and a few other TA's made the wait go by much faster - WIKKID!
So Addy finally shows up and the music is turned on and we are allowed in.......and of course it was quite cold in the Gallery - and took a while for it to stay warm as the door set-up isnt the best and whenever the door opened cold air came rushing in. This was also my first experience in the Gallery - nice set-up - good sound and friendly bar staff. It is true that Addy's mixing was very off and was not to the standard that I have seen him at dozens of times over the last 7 years. But Mikey and I mingled and made sure to introduce him to everyone. I did find the Gallery to be a bit stuffy/uptight with people and not very relaxing as people seemed to be waiting to get their party on but I made the best of it with Mikey, Angelo and his crew that were already smashed (HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELO WOOT!!).
Danced a bit and partied it up with some of the TA's and also talked a fair bit with Erin (DEKO-ZE's manager - WIKKID girl - I love Erin!!!) and saw a few homo's that I hadn't seen in a while either. Makes sense - they are the same crowd that goes to 5ive for Sidney Blue and Deko-Ze when he used to spin there on Sundays. And of course some Comfort Zone people as these DJ's in the Gallery are all COZO residents as well.
I had an alright time in the Gallery - I really wasn't feeling the music - also maybe because I was totally sober as well - LOL! Who knows - also I did have some other on my mind as well - as most of you know full well from the one thread that carried on most of last week. A couple of drinks later (thanks Angelo, Mark and Erin!!!) and some funny situations (like Asian dude going into the guys bathroom and throwing up all over the urinals - SPEEDY PILLS MAYBE???) and then walking out with this 10 foot trail of paper towel stuck to the bottom of his foot - HAHAHAA - CLASSIC!! I was ready to get the night started and was waiting for some good hard beats - which sorta came but didn't. Seeing someone do GHB didn't help my mood either - like I needed to see that!
(on a sidenote - if Nada saw this as I did - sketchy Asian speedy pill throw-up dude, G-Whores and Co-Zo/gay crowd - these were the MASHED-UP people she is talking about I am sure and as I saw it as well sketch was there - but most of the TA's were hardly mashed up because we had yet to hit the main room and dose - LOL!!!)
But regardless - I knew soon enough the main room would open and Marco V would proceed to bring on the beats and I was looking more forward to that than anything else. Again I also had a Guvernment nOObie with me and couldn't wait to see the look on his face when we entered the main room.
So we stuck it out and Mikey actually mentioned around 2:30 - isn't that other room open yet?? I was like sure ya wanna go - he was like ya - no more house! I want something harder!!! (keep your minds clean guys -LOL!!!) so anyways we headed into the main room - passing through the Orange Room and I lost Mikey - I kinda panicked for a second (poor little gay boy around all those hip-hop hoodies) but realized he thought he saw BEACH420 and went to say hi only to have the girl say WTF?? He laughed OOOPS! Have fun - we are going to MARCO V - WIKKID! - LOL!
Well we went into the main room and he was like "HOLY FAAACK!!!! I had no idea it would look like this??? - I thought it would be like the gallery only bigger!!" These are the beats that I like WIKKID!"
So I proceeded to wander up to the front where Jenn, Drew, Dannie, Fahad, Tyler, Kelly, Jay, Paula were and after making sure that everyone was introduced to Mikey began the night propper.
(another sidenote - I think Mikey met over 40 of you that night - and the fact that he made a point to introduce HIMSELF to everyone with a big smile and kindness - is rare at these TA events - I have been going out to these parties with you guys for months now and have still to meet some of you - either from your own shyness or me not noticing you. I was so glad that Mike is the type of person to be open, eager, and outgoing - again he was in for the night of his life - maybe that had something to do with it - he threw himself into the night and made the most out of it that he could.
So the music was good - I heard a lot of songs that I liked - heading up to the stage with Mikey in tow - we danced along side Paula, Dan, Starsearcher, Cyper, and TORE IT UP! Mikey was happy he had glowsticks (thanks Dan - but you were standing there with your eyes closed not using them - remember - LOL!!!). And we proceeded to have a great time - I enjoy the crowds when manouvering through them to get to the bathrooms for much needed water fill-ups (challenge me - I am a quick mother******!) and everytime I came back Mikey had someone else he was chatting up and throwing it down like a pro with.
I remember at one point a song came on and Dan was like I know this song it starts with a C or something I am like hmmm - I know it too what is it - Dan was like Marcel Woods - ADVANCED - OH !! I looked over the crowd and before that midline/arpeggio sound kicked in - I yelled out MARCEL WOODS WHAT?!?!?!?! That got a few WOOHOO'S!!! and then the baseline kicked in and we LOST IT! I thought it was true - that his set was better in February at he did play much harder then - but with Mikey, Paula, Dan, Cyper on the stage - I had a WIKKID WIKKID time!
I had not been out to to the GUV since Oct 1 for Dekay and I had missed the BIGROOM vibe and I felt it that night - the dancers on the podiums were excellent and the crowd in general was much less pushy and a hell lot more space to dance than normal. Combined with Mikey having a WIKKID time and the TA's that I love the most being there made up for a less than stellar tracklisting - this night was more about the people I was with and the good times we were obviously having.
The time flew by - say MarkT (thanks for the talk brother - you are a good friend to me!), MusicSnob, ChrisMack, Beanie Boy, and TATGIRL - WOOT WOOT - CONGRATS!!!! - Nice conversations with you as always and thanks for the MArcoV armband! WOOT!
Chem-Enhanced and Moral Hazard - I mentioned finally the both of you in the same room - THE ODDS! - THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON!!!LOL!!
Nada, Ali - WOOT WOOT! So nice to see you again - you are awesome and thanks for the nice gestures you always extend to me.
And yes it is true after the group photo we took with Marco V - Nada grabbed my hand and we went to dance the two of us in our own space and if Armin Van Buuren - Shivers - did not automatically come on at that moment. WOW - a flood of memories rushed over me - NADA COTTAGE WHAT??? - COOKING CHICKEN FOR 6+ HOURS WHEN THE CHICKEN WAS ALREADY COOKED WHAT???? - AVB - SHIVERS!!!!!! WHAT!?!?!?!? One of the highlights of my summer was that weekend at the cottage - and as many had posted in that review thread - when that song was dropped in the basement of the Tyrolean Cottage - tears of happiness were shead as we LOST IT HARDCORE DANCESTYLEE that early morning August 21 2005.
If I had not known fate/coincidence to step in when it had - I would have sworn that Nada had Mark Oliver play that song at that moment specifically - and that was the reason for grabbing me away from Mikey and the TA crew and proceeded to throw it down just the 2 of us. Ali just stood back and watched us go and we had this other guy (cute I might add) get hyped with us and added to the moment with his copy cat enthusiam!!! - WIKKID WIKKID BRING IT UP BRING IT UP!
Definitely a highlight of my night - thank you Nada!!! I am glad you stayed long enough for it to happen. MUAHH!!!
I then said my goodbyes to Nada and Ali and Jenn and then proceeded to tear it up for a bit to Mark Oliver - interesting track listing for sure - lots of unexpected songs but having Nathalie freak out when they played that HEADLIGHTS track was funny - I am like POST THAT ! someone will know!!! And sure enough - we are teh smartest trainspotters out there and question answered not a problem!
I left with Mikey around 7 or so and after saying our goodbyes (Mikey was as good at his hellos as he was at his goodbyes!) left the club and headed back to his place.
Mark and Val saw us walking and drove us home WOOT - THANK YOU AGAIN!
And we tried to sleep....... but that didn't happen;). Such a fun time was had that he wouldn't shut up about the night! LOL!!
So now I have a GUV whore on my hands - he wants to come again on Saturday - and of course I will oblige.
Thanks to everyone who made this long overdue night out FUN FUN FUN and DRAMA free and so much fun for my friend Mikey from Fort Erie.
WIKKID WIKKID WHAT?!??! UH-HUH THAT'S MY !
:D :D :D :D |
I POSTED A WIKKID REVIEW AND NO-ONE CARES!!! :( :( :( :(
JOKES!! LOL!
particulars and what have you can be picked apart and bitched about - but the bottom line is the fact that I HAD AN AWESOME TIME ON DEC 10 2005!!!
everytime we go out - it is not going to be better than the previous event every single time. Some nights are less memorable than others for many reasons (music, people, sketch, drama, bad drugs, lack of funds, or your outfit just doesn't come together in the way you wanted!!!!)
a review is a review it is your take on a situation/event/place/venue and as such is an opinion that is valid no matter who the speaker is.
Some people are more vocal and upfront than others too and that sometimes can cause problems for those that disagree with bold comments and cant deal via various communication options (PM, MSN, email..etc).
Verbal attacks personally on these forums are never nice and when they happen to you personally then you do have a right to be upset and defend - but first determine why something is said and then look at who/why it might have been said and was it really directed towards you to begin with. If it was - it is not that hard to flush one out - trust me - but if it was a misunderstanding of ego's then we have a problem and this break down which occured in this thread is an example of over-reaction of an opinion on one night in particular and as an isolated incident - holds no real bearing on the longevity of the Gallery.
The gallery is a permanent fixture of the GUV - with the DJ's they book (Deko-ze, Sydney, Addy etc) it will always have a following for the DJ's despite who is there (patron-wise) on any given night. One or two peoples opinion will not sway the hundreds that will enjoy the night and space and that is FACT because it is not a stand-alone club.
Now if this was the opening night at a stand-alone club than vicious comments could hold great bearing on the longevity - ARC for example - though a different clientele base - GAY people (which for the record they are the hardest to please with their bitchy posturing and attitudes and because it is very clickish not pleasing the so called "right people" and coddling them can kill a club in its infancy - trust me I have seen it aplenty over the last 5 years......) this is horrible and disgusting and 90% the reason why I don't bother with that scene (other 10% because the music is E! - well maybe more than 10% :)) - you thought TA was bad for DRAMA - WTF!!!! You have not seen compared to the cattiness and bull that eminates from their clubs on/in Church Street/Gay Village. Everyone is a ing "superstar" with their heads up their asses and Toronto GAYS have a terrible rap for being standoffish and rude. MONTREAL BEATS US HANDS DOWN - PWNS TORONTO - FACT!
With that being said - vicious comments can cause damage it is true - but only if the people saying them are allowed to cause such damage - a word has as much power behind it as you let it have - otherwise it is just a word. It is true people sometimes act like blind sheep and lemmings on a daily basis in their day to day lives - but if one really likes something or someone - no matter what someones says it will not change your mind. At least that is how it seems to me.
Stand confident in your convictions and trust what you know is right and nothing can stand between you and your personal happiness. Not everyone will agree (nor should they - BORING!) and that's what makes things interesting and diverse.
DIVERSITY is wonderful and I look forward to the diverse crowds that will attend the Gallery in the future.
I can get my STRAIGHT on - my GAY on and my FREAK on - all in one spot and that's as Martha would say - A GOOD THING!!!

So you expected what, a fantasy world unlike real life where everyone with an opinion and a keyboard can be a total jackass without ever having to talk to you face to face or make their identity known?
If you want fiction then go read a book. |
