WOW What a night Like hello?
Well, it was a chilly night but that is to be expected in Mid-November. To all those girls who stand in line in their pretty little shirts rubbing their arms up and down because they are cold waiting to get in - you are not
. Can't you see that people laugh at you? Fuck, it's only $2 for coat check and you'll be much warmer. Also, what is with the people talking on their "celly's" right beside the speaker?. Like Hello? go to the washroom or something. Duh!
Got there around 11:30-ish. The club was kinda "empty". I was a little confused as to why the masses weren't representing. Like Smiley Jo said, Tim Patrick was providing a more laid back sound. I guess that was in anticipation of Mr. Garnier. Did anyone see the guy in the white tank top with a ball cap and jeans on the dancefloor when nobody else was dancing? He was rinsing out propper and didn't care if everyone else was too cool to get that party started. I love seeing people like that. That is when you know that they are there for the music and not the drugs. The way it should be.
As soon as I arrived at the venue I had a feeling I was in for a show, and did I ever get a show. Yes, I am talking about the stage set-up. O.K. so Mr. Garnier hits the decks at whatever time. After spending some time at the bar I make my way to the front. I think it was in the early part of his set where he had some dood on a motorcycle rinsin' out at speeds of 180km +. That was pretty cool. Visualizing that back screen and the freaky/cool things it kept displaying to the hard sounds of Mr. Garnier and assosciates was stellar. The saxophonists and the other guy were both on point with Mr. Garnier. I think that it was pretty cool of Mr. Garnier to give props to those two guys at the end of his show. He said their names to the crowd and the crowd responded with thunderous claps. Like hello? Maybe Green Velvet should try that sometimes whenever he performs with the Misfits. I have yet to see it. O.K., so Mr. Garnier performed an excellent live show. Now let's move onto the venue.
The Venue - Well, I don't think I have ever seen Turbo done up so nicely before. The lighting was very intelligent to say the least. The projectors at the back bars illuminated beautiful images in the area just in front of the vip area on the main floor. Another projector located at the left bar facing the dj displayed very freaky visuals. Like a mother giving birth for example. Like hello? Can you say mad trips?. The lighting system reflecting off of the crystal balls in the middle of the dancefloor was pretty :wicked:.
Now let's move onto who was sponsoring this very special occassion at Turbo. That's right "Benson and Hedges".
. Can you say major corporations taking over our scene? Like WTF???. I was pretty ticked off when I saw that. Yeah, like Benson and Hedges knows anything about Mr. Garnier. Pfft Whatever!!!
Now let's move onto that lady who had a big *grin* on her face the whole night - that's right, my friend LibraD. Like, I don't think I have seen her that happy in all the times we have been partying. She was happy at Industry "Shutdown" but she was HAPPY on this *special* night. It made me happy that my friend was happy. She had a great time. She was truly absorbing this special occassion - Finally her favourite dj has COME BACK ........... to Toronto. Mr. Garnier is to LibraD what Danny Tenaglia, Jason Edwards, HALO, and Barry Weaver are to me. You're hardcore girl and I love ya. Call me k? *muah*
Downfall of the night ... like did anyone ever go to the bank machine on this *special* night? Well, so I go there and I am making my withdrawl and stuff and I just turn around and there was this dood who I think was trying to get my pin. He was some dood with a straw cowboy hat and a ponytail. Did anyone see him? So like I said, I turn around and he suddenly takes two steps back and quickly turns his head. I wasn't sure as he was very quick. So like, I do my business and stuff and I hang out near the area to see if this guy was doing it to other people. He was pretending to keep his eye on the entrance to the club like he was "waiting" for his friends. So I do the right thing and tell security to keep an eye on him. They did and got back to me. The security said he was just sitting on stairs for a while. Like who knows? I wasn't sure so I couldn't say anything. Like WTF? I see him later in the night and he is by himself still after 1.5 hours after the incedent. I guess his "friends" didn't show up. Hey dood, if you're on reading this here is a big *FUCK YOU* if you were up to something. If you were I'd sure like to give you a piece of my mind
.
Yeah so ... this *special* night was very
. I have seen live performances before but nothing like this. I was truly educated.
Props to Lifeforce for putting on a :wicked: night.
Suke.
