hahaha thats hilarious... im down with you girl !! NO candy NO glow sticks...

[craz_e_blossom]

We should trip out on the flashy slot machine lights...I think that would be the best light show ever...Like the best I have ever had in my life...

[crookedking]

i bet alot of ravers would get kicked out.

[craz_e_blossom]

^^^
I wouldn't be suprised...When you are flying so high that you act like a retard and introduce yourself to every person in sight...Of coarse you'll get kicked out...Ravers are stupid that way they bug the elderly...

[crookedking]

and alot of them aren't 18.

[craz_e_blossom]

Majority are like fuckin 14 I am starting to realize...I have met so many 14 year olds lately that rave and like I think it is fine to start raving at that age as long as you are mature...But these ones are so immature...

[crookedking]

i'm still immature and i rave all the Time.

thats so true yet again some of the people that i meet that are 19-20 like me are pretty immature too...

[craz_e_blossom]

Yah but you don't meet too many of those...It is the younger ones you gotta worry about haha

[Hot Karl]

let this fuckin place die already. unless you think it can handle a rave 24hrs 7 days a week, it's not gonna be their #1 option.

"hmmm, a real business? or a place for kids to come do drugs once a month?"

i wonder which would make more money? really let me continue to ponder this

[Bitchin]

^umm.. there would be more then just raves thrown in there..

like concerts, home shows, import shows, indy, ect....

Like they said.. they would just have to promote enterpise hall as more of a place to throw events!

i work on saterday :( someone should go and vote or whatever for me :) id love to see the Plaza back

[Hot Karl]

i hate to shit on everyone's magical parade, but chances are d/t waterfront apartments will rule all.

btw: the new convention centers being built for olympics will out class anything they come up with at plaza of nations. remember plaza of nations was having a hard time booking conventions and things of that nature BEFORE edgewater. so why exactly would it suddenly become some mecca of conventions and all things fun?

I am going have to agree with you...Plaza was lacking in money the place wasn't being used enough...Think about it the casino is used 24/7 days a week and their is constant money being brought in...but when it was just plaza it wasn't constantly in use and they were in the hole...I think it would be nice to have plaza back but face it...It isn't going to happen!

I think that plaza of nations has an issue due to the fact that it needs a facelift. If I were a convention promoter, I wouldn't want mine in a run down building. They want to change the scope of the Plaza. I think it is great that the city wants to assist in making a new safe, place to party!

I find it funny that people are so quick to say this city sucks, and that there is nothing for us. But when the city finally tries to do something for it's youth it is attacked for that too.

because they asked for some kids to come down you think they're actually gonna give any weight to those suggestions?

money talks, it's prime real estate, very very close if not technically 'in' downtown. if you haven't noticed towers are going up like mental around vancouver.

btw: a facelift won't change the fact that it's a old ass convention center. it wasn't being used because it was way too freaking small for most conventions. seeing how a good chunk of it is now a casino i don't think some new paint/carpet is gonna bring in the shriners or whoever else.

*i'm not hating per say, but it's pretty naive to think "omg we might get to throw raves" or even say a skate park which are gettin more popular around town, but $$$$ talks. prime real estate on the water, close to a skytrain. pretty safe to say TONS of people would wanna live there.

Karl that is like saying your vote won't count in an election. I am not being naive about a venue. I am the last person who is naive about that. But being a pessimist about it doesn't make it any better. We are the future of Vancouver, why wouldn't our opinions count? I pay taxes, I want my voice to be heard. The question more importantly is, why wouldn't you?

This is not only about raves but about creating something new for Vancouver, an entertainment center. A tourist attraction. Which would not only draw people to our city, but pump money into our economy. Something we can't do without in this city. I can't see the city wanting more housing when it lacks in entertainment.

Who is to say they don't level the whole complex and build something there that is way better than what is currently there?

They are more so encouraging the entertainment idea than the housing, and I think that if I go down and say my piece, it will make a difference. Maybe that is where you think I am naive, the fact that I think I can make a difference!

[Sniper]

If I could I'd go down and vote but unfortunately I can't.......and as much as I'd like to see it used for entertainment purposes it all depends on what they think will bring in the most money.........hell they may even decide to do something with it that hasn't even been told to the press yet and be atotal surprise to the whole comuntity

DAY GLOW 2005!!!

=P

On a seriouse note; we should speak up for what we want in our city. Im very intrested in checking this out and ill probly spread the news to my brother and his bmx firends. I think its important we provide more events aimed towards young adults and teenagers and seems these ppl feel teh same too. However we have to prove to them that we want it and will bring money/good reason to do what we want them to do.

As many of you know, the building that we have all come to know and love is not the only part of the Plaza, but a 1/3 of it. The city still owns the Plaza and as a result of it being run down and partially empty, they are considering what should be done next with the complex.

The article states what the Plaza has been used for, including raves. They are inviting the youth down to an open house at the Vancouver Public Library to make your opinion heard. They feel our voice is the strongest as we use it the most! So I thought I would let you all know if you want that venue back, you should do your part and make your way down to the VPL.



Open house times : 4 - 5:30 pm on Friday and 11am - 5pm on Saturday!

Thats pretty cool. I sure hope lots of ravers decked out in phat pants, soothers, and candy show up.
