What if Footwork moved to the old Boa/Sonic space? (pg. 3)

legal is less, club can fit more than 320 though.
there have been nights when over 500 have come through the doors. |
500 is still far less than the what 1300 of the boa space?
Granted, I loved what they did with that space in the old days, and I'd love to see an underground venue back at that location, I just don't see it happening. |

I tend to (mostly) agree. |

best thing i like about footwork is the vibe. club is full but not demented crowded, so vibe is good
move footwork to bigger place and don't get the place full, i dunno if the same vibe will be there.
plus moving to a new space is not quite as same as the old place
if it works, then don't try to fix it |

Thats what I am thinking.... that was one of the main reasons I had only a 'so-so' time at the Platform halloween techno party was because the place was so empty... if it woulda been at FW it woulda been a different story for sure. |

Boa/Sonic is too big of a space for Footwork. When you have a spot as big as Boa, but can only pull in 320 on your "rammed" nights - the club still feels empty and hampers the vibe.
I like that Footwork can bring in great DJs that might not be able to pull 500-600+ in Toronto, and still have a vibe that feels off the hook - when in a bigger place, it'd feel a bit flat and under attended.
As much as I like say, Chris Leibing - he has a big enough draw to reasonably fill footwork, but would leave a space as big as Boa feeling a bit barren. |

I'm with everyone else who says Footwork is great how it is.
It's the perfect size for the DJs they bring in. A bigger club would require bigger-name DJs, who often disappoint, leading to:
The DJs they bring in are often-times BETTER than most of the big-name draws the bigger clubs are forced to bring in.
The crowd is small so it doesn't take long to get to recognize and meet the weekly and bi-weekly regulars.
I love that it's 'hidden' in an alley, that alone adds to the vibe.
It seems to be a club that's for people who are 'in the know' and that's the way I like it. People go for the music and a good time, they don't go to bump K and hump the bass speaker while sketchin out to the sik-lazars!!!
Long live Footwork! |

| Footwork's intimate atmosphere is perfect for most of it's bookings; techno and deep progressive suits the place well. With that being said, I can't imagine the footwork crowd and sound in the Sonic/Boa space. I can only imagine that big space being used for tribal and prog. It just doesn't make sense to me. |

| First time I heard Tony Rohr was at Boa, I think that was his first time in Toronto - killer night musically, but the 'vibe' wasn't there. Still danced my ass off though, and found that back then he played a bit on the harder/chunkier side of things then what he does now. Mmm, good night ;) |
