twisted 05?

[COMATOS3]

any word on if its gonna happen this year?

[Kraig]

Stay tuned...

hahaha
calm down everyone you have to wait on these things
take it a month at a time

[Kraig]

The reality is though... Legal and city approved venues.

Sure we could do yet another massive at the Colesium, but let's be honest, Solid has raped that venue a ton and from what we've seen, will continue to do so in May probably in the Summer as well. To further, you can only do so much with that venue -- technically, it's a two room venue as it has only two rooms. The third stage (usually the House room) that is always added, is a joke and frankly it's embarassing to walk in any sort of House headliner into and tell them that is where they are playing. Any attempt to add a fourth stage (or as I like to call it, the smoking stage) is a flat out joke unless it is solely there to provide entertainment for the smokers.

We are putting some thought into this and are doing the best we can with the limitations the city has placed upon us. As I said, I'll keep you posted.

Cheers.

totally agree with you on that one
theres really is only 2 stages at the PNE
hopefully you can find another 3 stage venue that can please all music goers
we're all rooting for you to find another venue

[Niko]

^Amen. It would be great to find a new legal venue, but obviously damn difficult.

Have you ever looked into setting up a party in the gates at BC Place? Freaknight in Seattle had a great setup, with the stagest at different points along the huge long stone corridors, nice and cool, with a shitload of capacity. Might be an idea, but as always, you're dealing with the owners, the city, and the cops.

I'm sure that all our prayers are with you in finding a new rockin' venue ;)

Been there, tried that. The City and the venue wants nothing to do with throwing "raves" there.

[sidekick]

and i suppose canada place wouldn't want anything to do with raves either.

i still think you should try to throw a rave at Tinseltown...that mall is fucking awesome and it's not used for anything but a shitty foodcourt and some movie theatres. i wonder if you could get a permit for that place and then you could have different rooms in the different empty stores.

[Niko]

Shitty.

Gotta wonder what the shit is the problem with people not wanting legal parties to happen. I mean, the alternative is -- in theory -- far worse for them.

[sidekick]

^i would assume the stigma of underagers on drugs and ODing is a very serious stigma. I doubt any building wants that reputation attached to it. plus, raves are messy.

[Niko]

I suppose. That, and I've never heard of some drugged out kid actually dying at an Illegal party in Vancouver. Only the big licensed massives.

Nope to both of those as well.

I agree that Tinseltown is pretty fricken kewl BUT think about it, there is WAY to much shit to break there. Glass everything. You'd be suprised at the amount of bone headed idiots that attend shows now that take it upon themselves to vandalize, steal shit among other things.

[sidekick]

^very true. what about something at UBC? i know we have a big gym (War Memorial Gym) and a couple ballrooms in the student union building that would work pretty well. there is even an open courtyard in the one upstairs that would be a great smoking area (in fact that's what they use it for when they use the SUB for parties)

i'm just not sure how obtaining an all night license would work there, but it would be worth checking out in my opinion.

[sidekick]

ps. and if they use it for frat parties and college parties they are obviously not too worried about things getting very trashed.

[Kraig]

UBC has tons of venues... Keep in mind though that with UBC comes residencies in that area and with residencies come noise by-laws. -- The city is anal about that shit as obviously loud music played passed certain times (especially till 8AM in the morning) pisses people off.

[sidekick]

^yeah, but the gym and SUB aren't near any of the residence buildings at all. There are some houses, but those aren't very close (the SUB is the furthest away) i would say it's worth checking out if you haven't already.

I usually don't like discussing my opinions about other productions but when it goes over board - I will step in.

It's like how we could have said about Twisted back in the past -- "Sure we could do yet another massive at the Plaza of Nations, let's be honest, Twisted has raped that venue a ton and from what we've seen, will continue to do so in May probably in the Summer as well." Hm.. I wonder how you would reply to that if we had posted that back in the days?

Its also interesting how Spooky (what is it? 6) at the Pacific Coliseum. if i recall had 3 or 4 stages too? hmm... I guess it was a joke too. I'm sure Twisted would love to do a massive there too any GIVEN day if it was a good date. Let's keep this clean Kraig -- I'm sure you don't want me to discuss about Twisted and compare productions.

That is all for now.

Stanley, Stanley, Stanley... You are missing my point. I wasn't stating what I did to say Solid is bad. The question was asked if we were going to do a show... I replied it comes down to the venue. I then went on to say the reality is you (Solid) have raped or another words, the only thing you've done since Plaza closed has been thrown shows there. For that reason, I'm not sure that it makes sense that we'll throw yet another show there, but we'll see as it's not ruled out yet.

How would I reply to you if you said the same thing about us and the Plaza? I would say fucking rights we did because the venue ruled, it was the best period. That's why we did throw the most shows there out of any promotions company.

As for Spooky 6 - yes we threw it at that venue and yes we had 3 rooms. But you're still missing the point. Even at our show, as packed as it was with 5600 people there and as much fun that was had, the venue still is a 2 room venue. If ANY promotions company throws a show there, they are still going to be faced with what the venue is and the way it's been built.

So again Stan, see the bigger point. The venue itself isn't all that good to throw a show at which is why I commented on it. I used Solid as an example and stated the term raping to mean you've thrown your last how many shows there with another two scheduled coming up.

I just killed myself laughing Tony as that statement made no fucking sense as me playing at any Solid massives or massives in general has nothing to do with my post.

Get a life bro.
