TITLE: Syrous #08 - ' Empire Strikes Back '
LOCATION: Old Liberty Street Plant DATE: May 6th 1995 AUDIO: Phantasy {A}{B} - Hype {A}{B} ATTENDANCE: 1600 FEATURED DJ: Dj Hype, Dj Phantasy, MC Reality MEMORIES: The venue for this event has to be my favorite out of them all. So much history with this warehouse. located close to the CNE in and around the old industrial area. It had to be over 100 years old. A single room warehouse with very high ceilings and a glass roof. This particluar warehouse has been used for many Music Videos and other film productions in Toronto. The event was so close to getting shutdown. the property was partially owned by the Police station located near by. To make things worse a Toronto FireMarshall showed up wanting to shut us down. He had been in a fire in the same building over 40 years ago in which he suffered burns to 30 percent fo his body! now how messed up is that. This event hurt us pretty bad finacially but the event went off pretty well concidering all the headaches that night. DESIGN BY: (concept) Chris Smart, (work) Terry Attached image(s) |

I can't begin to tell you how fucking crazy my head got being in that warehouse again. Just the smell of the place brought back memories. Wierd mix of emotions...
Anyways, it's the place it all started for me. And it basically molded what would be the past 10 years of my life... With that being said, here are some of the shots I took. Sorry they're not high res, I don't have my own webspace. Oh, I totally forgot about the little bathroom in there till I saw it. LOL I CLEARLY remember telling my friend "Dude you HAVE to experience the bathroom in this place". I was trippin something fierce. Last time I ever did acid. haha *edit* I remember being in what felt like an industrial wasteland when I went to the Empire Strikes Back. Now there's a fucking Dominion Supermarket next to the warehouse! My how things have changed. This post has been edited by SmoothOperator: Apr 10 2005, 05:59 AM |
