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
