Evil Evil Raves! Awful decadence!!! Now lets throw a nice corporate dinner party at $150 a plate and maybe an art gallery show.
That'll show those evil decadent ravers!
I guess the only crackheads allowed in toronto are those with no teeth giving handjobs for crack! LOL |

nono..they're returning dough...i dunno about stores...i'm mailing my tix back tomorrow (just cos its gonna be simpler than coordinating a meet time)
it sounds like there's gonna be no don jail "rave" so might as well just get a refund and if something comes up, can just get tix again. no biggie |

so it appears that it was NOT the ORC that pulled the plug, but rather some woman at Bridgepoint.
from an email she sent to someone at torontoist.com"
I'm assuming the "Rave" site in question was torontoraves.com. Should be noted as well that event was listed next to a Jimmy Swift Band show @ The Horseshoe tavern, a magazine launch party in Hamilton, a Radiohead concert, some concerts at The Mod Club, Revival,= and an abundance of night club and bar events... none of which are raves. The listing on the site also clearly stated the capacity was 300 people, not 350.
Also none of those involved want anything to do with raves. Though there may be some cross over in terms of music, the same can be said for virtually all top 40 nightclubs these days.
As for the address, i hardly think anyone with half a brain would walk up the current jail looking for the party. It's ridiculous to even think that.
some other points of note:
This was to be a 19+ event serving alcohol. The average age of those in attendance would have been well into their late 20s. A third of the people there probably would have been into their 30's, and mostly working professionals.
We had obtained a special occasion permit from the city in order to serve alcohol legally
The Fire Marshall had inspected the space and approved a capacity of approximately 300 people. 300 was the capacity that we advertised.
We were under the impression that the space had also been sound tested to make sure volume levels outside weren't excessive or offensive.
We purchased a $2 million liability insurance policy
We were hiring 1 bonded and licensed security guard for every 35 or so patrons. It was also offered to hire additional security for outside of the space to ensure people didn't loiter upon entering or leaving the event.
We were planning on shutting down a mere hour after most top 40 nightclubs and bars close.
so not a rave.
would have been nice if this woman hadn't jumped the gun and had at least called us to ask some questions. Someone should let her know that just because it's on the internet, doesn't make it fact. Lets hope she doesn't get her news from theonion.com |
almost 10 years after iDance and it seems like nothing has changed around here.. good job Toronto
has anyone from your side managed to get in touch with Ms. Paula McColgan or Mr. Chris MacKechnie?
I'd be interested in hearing how the legal proceedings go over this whole debacle..
the old Beastie Boys adage still stands true: you gotta fight for your right to party

| question to promoters - are the ticket outlets supposed to only refund the price of the ticket ($40) not the whole amount they charged, i.e. with "service charges"? I was told that I won't be refunded the full $50 I paid for the ticket. |

Play De Record and Unicus are paying the entire amount back - I haven't had a chance to speak to the outlet on Spadina but I would assume that if they want customers to ever come back to their store they would be doing the same...
