Just noticed Avicii and Steve Aoki added to the Beta lineup for January. This is nuts. I don't want to be one of those "everything good belongs in the epicentre of Canada, Toronto!!" people so I'm not going to go that route. It's cool to do something different and I think that's what Beta is after here.
But that being said it poses a real problem for people located in Toronto that want to get down there. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to take advantage of something like a partnership with a hotel there for discounted rates, organised bus trips, or even a page for linking others up with carpooling for those going who have extra room. It's getting hard to see these bookings (Steve Angello, Gareth Emery, Avicii, Steve Aoki in 2 months?!) and not be able to hit them up easily... Not trying to whine but I know my friends and myself and you can't find a DD in the bunch of us. Alternative solutions would be nice. =) |
Beta opens trying to get Waterloo people to stay in town for the weekend. Beta ends up getting Toronto to come to Waterloo. Bwahahahahahah. There is so much win in this comment. |

do what people from KW have done for decades....either find a DD or get a hotel room for the night..or you could just hook up with some university slut for the night. |

As a Waterloanian...or whatever a person from Waterloo is called...i have little faith in the club scene. People in KW still aren't exposed to the right kind of electronic music. Caesar's, Starlight, Tyrones etc, all have the same kind of stuff playing every week (top 40, poppy house music). Would be a big deal if BETA works out and some big DJ's come by and come frequently. As much as I hate his music, Joel would certainly do a number on KW and help it become something for club goers.
As per university sluts, just go to Phil's across from Wilfred Laurier. If you don't mind the smell of rotting puke every week, then this is your place. |

Avicii just played here a month ago and playing again on 31st
I believe Aoki was here not so long
we get them in Toronto as well :)
If I was back in Uni. I'd totally get a ride with someone and hit these events up, but being one of the working folk, Thursday nights and out of town = not happening any time soon :\ |

not yet....the place has been sitting empty except for Angello. They are opening for Emery even if they don't have the license. It doesn't seem likely they will be open before christmas |

yeah starlight exists when it wants to exist. it was open this past summer on fridays and saturday's. they always had some crazy asian guy dj'ing who wasn't particularly good, but could certainly play the crowd properly. |

Having a bit of issues with final approvals. hopefully they are cleared up. However, likely not opening before xmas expect Gareth.
Never know thou.
YES sometimes Toronto will have similar bookings, sometimes on weekends and sometimes on Thursdays. All depends.
Never the less the success has been great. Steve Aoki is a Saturday and is 70% sold out after being on sale for 3 days. AVICII at about 30% which is amazing as well.
Gareth Emery is sold out. I think Guv hosted him in May and he is coming to Beta in Dec. Pretty good gap.
Also, let you guys be the first to know cause we probably won't advertise this until after xmas.
:)Sander Van Doorn is booked for Feb 3. Hope to see you all out :)
I think there is some decent separation from the last performance in Toronto.
Thanks for everyone's support :) |
