WHY!
My gut feeling (and 7 years of putting up with clubbing bull) tells me that the 2am+ door opening was planned. Whether it be for exposure, or for 85$ VIP instant access tickets to be sold, I'm unsure.
WHY would Sonic take the time/money to invest into the promotion of a night like this. Like I mean, take into account EVERY aspect of it, the renovations (sound, decor, whatever else), the flyers, the promoter echelon, ETC. Only to completley drop the ball on getting people ACTUALLY INSIDE THE PLACE!?! hah This truely blows my mind.

Very good points...this sounds very shady to me. Maybe Morales REALLY does think that there is no competition and that we have no other venues to grace on Saturday nights. I hope this gets worked out soon....because these types of issues combined with the carwash crew = bad news.
{Edit}: I would also like to add that if something isn't broken, don't fix it. I think a few people will know what i'm taking about here. |

| Were there a lot of hot women or all you saw was the "Sewer Crew" that stunk up the place so badly that the sound even started tweaking? |

lol totally. I made the best of that lineup, cracking jokes, even dancing. But in the end, it had defeated me. lol |

The women that were there were uber hot, but seriously, it was like 95 % dudes. I was on the dancefloor twice, once coming in the club, and once on my way out. The rest of the night was spent behind the DJ booth.
I arrived at around 3:30, was in by about 4:20, so line wasn't too bad. It seemed like they were letting in about 10 people every 15 minutes or so. Seems reasonable, I don't know how things were earlier in the night though. Coat check was a complete disaster. It took at least another half hour to actually get in the club, and well over half an hour to get my coat at the end of the night. What was the deal with that?
Musically I was impressed, some Funky Funky House was goin on!! Had me movin the whole time, just kinda wished I coulda taken that new dancefloor for a test drive. Oh well. I won't likely be back until I have heard that things are better. Maybe time to give the Zone another shot? |

LOL holy ...yesterday I had such a dilemma whether I should go or not. I was way too tired to party, and on top of that I had to work today too; so I was really hesitant about going. Still...it was opening night to one of the most hyped clubs in T.O, and I really wanted to be there.
From the looks of it, I'm glad I didn't go. I didn't wanna put up with "opening night" bull and from the looks of it there was a lot of that. |

All it was was opening night bull. I was kinda expecting some opening night hype going on in the club. You know, like David talking over the soundsystem, like that. There was nothing. Felt like just another night at Sonic.
I want my free t-shirt :( |

Hi, nice to meet you. Do you work for the club?
Ok, anyone else notice some seriously weird ing posts in this thread? Like the propaganda teams from BOTH camps are hi-jacking this ?
People, read with caution, a lot of things said in here are totally spun bull. |
What do you mean? Cant i just say what i think, or is that not permitted?
Wasnt all the hype about Sonic supposed to be its sound? The sound from Stereo? Not even close. |

I just strolled by twice and saw tordan outside trying to get in! (that was about 8am) No luck I guess.
the beats sounded way harder than I expected. |
yep... no luck. So I show up just before 8 after dropping off some TAs. The bouncer wouldn't let me in and I'm like... does this not go until 12? He said no, we're trying to clear everyone outta here. Made a few more attempts but I wasn't about to grease the bouncer and then prolly pay another exorbitant amount for cover. So I went to CZ instead... walked right in without having to grease the bouncer and paid the usual $20 cover. Deko-ze proceeded to blow my mind for the next 3 hours. Money well spent! :D |
