I've said it once, and I'll say it again, the cave is a shithole.

I doubt drink prices are up to them, but rather the club.

it could very well be that i've been misinformed but as far as i know the cave is NOT a club but rather a venue that can be rented for events such as Dumonde. it's up to the promoters to supply booze, mix etc. hence the disposable cups. and the promoters have complete control over prices of cover and drinks. could anyone calrify this, perhaps our resident club expert jim?

as far jacking up the price of cover goes, i too feel like i got screwed. would i have paid 20 bucks to see Dumonde? sure i would've. but advertising $15 for a show that consists of 2 dj's and then adding on an extra 5 at the door becuase "unexpectedly they both came" is fuckin bullshit!
if they only expected one of them to be there why didnt it say so anywhere? as far as i remember all advertisments said "January 2nd, 2004: Dumonde'; not just one of them.

as far as the rest of the night went, i had a blast! awsome tunes and awsome freinds always make for one hell of a night!

If that's the case then I take back my original points. Yeah, saying they "unexpectedly" both came is ridiculous; they obviously would have known as they would have had to arrange the flights.

Garry, it's a club.

All drink prices are up to the venue, unless the promoters work out some sort of specials list with the gm or the club's promotions manager prior to the night.

All that is besides the point, they use fucking solo cups for beer, and little tiny plastic cups for their mixed drinks, and even smaller plastic cups for shooters. Their selection of booze is almost laughable, hell at any given time I have a better selection floating around my apartment than that "FINE" establishment.

The previous owners of "The Rage" were smart to get the hell out of that money pit, it has been plagued by nothing but problems, lots of violence, a less than desirable clientel, and a shit load of reno's that probably should have been done if had any hope in hell to compete with the rest of the downtown core.

Back in the day that venue was a great place to go see live acts, hell I remember being at quite the rememerable blur concert there back in '96, but as soon as the commodore re-opened the downward spiral started.

It was basically neglected, and when I heard that the previous owners had sold it, I had some idea that they might fix it up and make good use of the space, WELL THAT SURE AS HELL DID'NT HAPPEN.

Well I could rant to all ends about this place and some various others, but what can be said has already been stated a thousand times over.

i had a wicked time music wise. and because of the b.s. at the door and drink prices i just bought a few waters.

dumonde was amazing as usual. like hammered said, o <3 blue monday. absolutely ass kickin fun.

i kinda liked how it wasn't so packed, just cuz it was pretty hot up front already. oh well like i really missed all the dirty nammers.

cam: i owe u a sesh man.

i can't decide if imf was better, it may have been, cuz i was higher for imf. meh. awesome anyways.

solidsessions: u can charge whatever u want. but it's lame doing that shit at the door imo.

hi to all the people i saw at the party. u know who you are. like that girl i was following and filming with my friend's camera. and her friend. oh man i think i got a pic of their driver's license so we can like totally go find out where they live and watch and film them some more. VOYEUR WHAT WHAT?

Dumonde at IMF was good due to the fact the music was super loud and they played their fan favourites. I nailed every track they laid down 3-5 seconds after they were cueing it up.

Dumonde at the Cave was much better since they were playing fresh music (soooo many hand written white labels!) and in a more intimite setting.

I had fun, lol especially when I yelled rave through the microphone! LOL hahaha

Oh and when Dumone ( well one of them) was checking out my tush. Thanks Darren for telling me! And thanks Winston for laughing!!!

LOL drinks are expensice, well lol maybe its just me heheheh...

Anyways, thanks to everyone who came out and supported solid. :)

Hope to see you all there again for the upcomming nights.

Is my math off or are you 17?

[MC Hammered]

Her age is on daylight savings time.

[jim]

^yet another one of the various problems with this place.

[Sean]

I'm all for underage clubbing, but it's pretty ballsy on the part of the promoters to be letting 17 year olds scream on the microphone and dance on stage, hehe.

[sweet~kandy]

These post have been taken into consideration, thanks for your concerns and have a great day :)
