Really looking forward to Amber D's set aswell. Last VICE of the year, so looks all set to be another good one!
Thanks to all the DJ's who smashed it on Friday, it really was an amazing night. Full to the rafters of some of the friendliest most up for it clubbers around. Loved the baby Jesus floating around. class. Roll on 2010!
i can't remember anything so it must have been a good night!! got a taxi from my mates in wideopen sometime on saturday back to mine and just because the taxi man had a laguna estate i thought he was a french farmer, i was absolutely convinced! :crazy:, turns out he wasn't!! good times
VICE seems to have gotten better & better with the continuous sweet ass headliners & even managing to escape the nightclub that everybody loves to hate: the Attic. Moving into a bigger better venue which they've manage to keep filling every month. I've only been to Legends twice. 1st time was October, BK & Cally Gage. Was fucking class, Cally Gage was immense! But as BK started the night seemed to go all to shit. Bouncers just don't seem to like me. I've been known to get in some states sometimes, as people who know me will know, but on this night I didn't. I walked into the toilet for a piss & as I walked in I saw the bald cunt already staring at me. I had my piss & as I walked back out towards the dance floor he grabbed me by the arm & told me I had to leave. When I asked why, instead of answering he just started pulling me towards the stairs. Realizing I was gonna get nowhere by trying to reason with him, I said that if he really wanted me to leave then I would, but could he please let me go & tell my girlfriend who was waiting for me by the seats to the left of the dance floor. He let go of me & said "yes, go on then, hurry up". So I turned around to go & find her & as I did he grabbed me again, punched me in the face, tackled me to the floor & chucked me out. Getting a few more sly digs in as he dragged up the stairs. Can't be arsed to continue in such detail 'cause this post is already turning into a short novel. But after it happened I rang the police & reported him for assault because there was literally no reason for him doing it at all. The police did fuck all. He told them the reason he kicked me out was that he caught me taking drugs in the toilet & when he asked me to leave I refused & became aggressive. All I did in the toilets was take a piss & he wasn't even in there to see if I was taking drugs anyway! He couldn't have lied more! I wasn't being a daft cunt/getting rowdy/too mortal/falling asleep/in a mess/dealing/taking drugs or ANYTHING! So it put me off ever goin' back again. But on Friday I decided to risk it. Again it was a fucking awesome night! I kept seeing him standing about but I don't think he noticed me until a little way into Amber D's set when I went to the bar. I avoided eye contact with him but as I walked past, he turned to another bouncer & said something to him while pointing at me. They waited until I'd bought a drink & returned to where I was with my mates. Then both of them came up & asked me to come upstairs. I didn't argue, I just agreed & went with them. As we walked 1 of them held my hands behind my back & said they had to search me because they'd had an accusation from someone that I'd been taking drugs. I just went along with it. Again, I had nothing on me & so wasn't arsed about them searching me. They were pretty thorough & I could tell they were desperate to find something. They didn't & then 1 bouncer went back in the club suggesting I 'call it a night', leaving me with my old friend the baldy meat head. I asked him if I could now go back in & he said I couldn't. He 'didn't want me in his club'. Again he had no reason for it. I like VICE & have since it started but if the situation continues like this it seems I'm probably never gonna be able to go back without havin' to put up with this shit every time. It's a shame 'cause I really like the venue but the door staff (the short fat bald 1 in particular) are obviously complete tossers. I don't know what exactly I hope to achieve by telling you all this, just want people to know I suppose. I doubt there's anything the people of VICE can do about it & you're hardly going to change venue when the night's obviously doing so well. Fuck me, longest post ever, 5:45am, I'm gan to bed, goodnight!
I'm really glad you've told us this. We are due to have a meeting with the management team in the NewYear, and will deffinately discuss this with them, as although doormen do have a job to do, there is a way to go about it. We think the vennue works fantastically for VICE and the music we play, but I guess there are still teathing problems that we need to sort out. Agaon, thanks so much for letting us know. x
