(after some confusion as to what 'English Style' ACTUALLY is....)
English Style: Minimum spending requirement on wardrobe: $700.
With English Style, you MAY be subjected to embarrassment (ie, yelling, being centered out, sworn at), pretty much being treated like the kid in grade six that wore a ski jacket from Zellars, and Orange Tab Levis (instead of the socially accepted Red). And your shoes BETTER NOT be the same ones from the previous week, or you WILL be scoffed at. |

based on what I'm reading I definately know where I will not be going on Friday nights. I can't support a business like this.
Of course I realize that TIL doesn't give a rat's ass about my decision not to attend or anyone eles' complaints. Clearly they are trying to establish a Studio 54 type air about them. They probably love the complaints and hope for more of them. The more pissed people are about not being allowed in the more privileged those who get inside will feel which will result in TiL being the place to be because if you can get in there then you're one of the desirables. I can understand why people would want that. Personally I couldn't be bothered making the effort but many will. |

No problem. I mean, u were on a guest list that did nothing for you. Thats a joke! Besides, that "+ 7" woulda meant free entry at any other club except TiL. FFS it was the DJ's guest list.... |
Yea I know! Like I was saying that night, "guestlist" gets you inside the club (provided that you are dressed appropriately). The guestlist woman was telling me that they weren't, for the most part, letting people into the club who didn't have guestlist.

Ok, so how about more reviews, aside from complaints? ;) |
Ahh yes. So here's my short review ;)
I enjoyed the night very much but took it easy most of the night in the back of the club, just enjoying the beats. The sound on the dancefloor was brutally assaulting on the ears. Something needs to be done to equalize the sound to minimize distortion. The bass was all muddled (possibly the bass was turned up too much). My ears were bleeding when I was on the dancefloor!
Drinks were reasonably priced (~$6 each) and the crowd was quite amicable. I actually prefferred this crowd to a typical Guv, Dock, etc crowd. You would think that the door policy would ensure that a good levels of pretentiousness and ego would be present. However, everyone I bumped into or talked with was very pleasant :)
While I do recognize that the bouncers have been not the nicest to some people on this board, I personally had no problems with them. In my few encounters with the bouncers and serving staff they were very helpful and attentive.
As for the music: I went to see Fisher (I've seen the Frog a gagillion times :) ) Fisher's set was mixed for me... he had some stone grooves, but his set never attained a quality flow. I think that this is what is lacking in most contemporary livesets. The Frog played some tracks at the beginning of his set that I had never heard before. Siiiick complex basslines, but the quality of the sound system detracted from my enjoyment! We left around 3:30 as me and my posse were all quite tired at this point. |

I wouldn't say drama Jon...I think it's just people voicing their opinions on the bad service that seems to be happening at TiL. Definatly not good for business! |

| It's fairly well-known amongst those who are, well..."in the know", that Cevin Fisher's production is 10x better than his programming and mixing. |

This is def true. However, I was wishing his set would be comparable to his 2003 (2002?) System Soundbar set. ;) |

Wow John...thanks a lot for helping us out here. Personaly I think TiL is a great club, but if they don't change some of their ways they're going to start losing a LOT of business.
Let's hope that things get better from here on out!!
Thanks again John!! |

Thanks John....I'm glad to see someone is taking action rather then just bitching about...I know most of us don't have the connections to do something like this but it makes me feel good that someone who does will listen to us bitch and take action in hopes of change....you are a class act. |
