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) |

^^^ nice
Passed by this venue a couple weeks ago and spoke with some workers there. The place was gutted and it's being converted to a "corporate sales centre". The outside facade remains but inside it's all offices. Looking in the front you can only see 15 feet in cause it's a reception area. Isn't that a sad turn of events for this site? lol. This old guy said not in only did they make ordinance there, but they "blew it up" (I guess to test it's quality?) in the sprawling building directly South and Southwest. And by a satisfyingly eerie coincidence, when I got back into my car Hype's set happened to be up next on the mp3 player that set is rediculous |
