Dear Big House ticket holders,
It is with a heavy heart that we are writing this letter to you. As of 10am on Thursday, June 04, 2009 the Ontario Realty Corporation, an arm of the provincial government and the agency that controls the Old Don Jail has canceled our event on Friday, June 5, 2009 and ALL other events for the Old Don Jail in the near future. To say that we are devastated is an understatement. Many people, including the promoters, artists and agency that refurbished the Old Don Jail for events over the past 3 months have dedicated thousands of hours to creating a truly amazing and memorable event. In the combined 20+ years and 1000’s of parties organized and promoted by those involved, this is the FIRST event in our history that has been completely canceled.
We want to assure all of you that we, along with Bridgeport Health and the company refurbishing the venue are working with our legal teams to come up with a solution to satisfy the province and allow events in the future. It is our opinion that our legal efforts will be rewarded sometime soon and we will obtain a new date. With that in mind we encourage you to hold onto your tickets for at least two weeks as we work through the process. As many of you know, this event sold out in a matter of days and we would obviously want those that supported us from the start to have the opportunity to attend the make-up date. That said, we want to make sure that you all know that your hard earned ticket money is safe. We completely understand that some of you may want to obtain refunds on your tickets immediately and have instructed the ticket outlets to offer those refunds as of tomorrow (June 5). Please note that you must return your ticket to the store you purchased it from as the stores can only refund tickets numbered for their respective locations.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for this turn of events and will keep you updated as to the progress of the case.
Sincerely,
Ryan, Jesse, Evan and Josh.

HELL
YEAH!!!!
I am sooooooooooooooo excited for this party! I don't think I could think of a better place to party.
I'm having a pre-party at my house before. Come one, come all.. and check out my retardedly huge flyer wall in person! I literally live right across the street from the jail (what a great neighbourhood :p).
Send me a message on TA/FB/MSN for details. |

Some civil servant at the Ontario Realty Corporation (ORC) woke from their slumber after seeing all the great press we received last week and suddenly realized that they had agreed to something that they might get the heck for.
The result is that they now want to meet on this "event thing". Of course, being bureaucrats, ten of them have to be in the room at a time, and since there are only so many hours in a 9-5 day, that meeting cannot take place until next week.
The result is the complete cancellation of our two first parties. We aren't even allowed in the place until this has been figured out.
Please pass on the bad news to anyone you thought might be planning on coming.
It sucks. We're sorry. I want to spit. |
