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 |

w!cked smooth! thanks for sharing! love the shot with the fence.
and yes, how things have changed. There used to be a path from the south side to the warehouse, like a little ravine. I remember so much. This space was by far my favorite of all the Syrous Locations. It embodied everything i wanted in a space. Mystery, Atmosphere, Industrial Decay and darkness. So happy it still lives. |

I talked with the Heritage and Preservation people and they say some of it will survive. So maybe half.

Well last Friday was the 10 year anniversary of this jam, and my first party! Woohoo! I celebrated in a serious way, as it was the day after my birthday.

^^^ 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 |

If this is the building I think it is. I work just down the block from it. If I remember I'll try and bring my camera to work and take a couple pictures.

I guess they had an exhibit in the old half of the building during Nuit Blanch.

^ I'm not sure as I can't remember a red building in the area. But of course it might have been painted by now, maybe on Monday I'll have a little walk around and take a look for it.
