Ttlg Review!!

[Mimick]

So kicking it near the door waiting to give Rick his ticket, where all the metal kids were hanging out screaming at the ravers just entering the crack house. They honestly didn't say shit to me at all, I had my kandi on and everything, they just didn't try to insult me. Dunno what that's all about but oh god it was way too crowded in there. blah blah blah blah rave blah blah blah blah cops blah blah blah blah my brain hurts bai

i think this venue needs to stop being used for anything except SMALL parties. the 20-25 bucks is not worth it.

I worked the "shuttle point" last night so a lot of you probably met me.

Kinda sucked that everything was done at 12:30. I think those fucking metalheads ruined it. I really wanted to play an oldskool happycore set.

Well, I will get the chance to do this at Boom N Pow. Looking at more of a Freeform/Trancecore set for Galactic Funk.

I think Mandi is going to try to do a make up party so be on the look out for it.

take away 50-100 people....AND THIS PARTY WOULD HAVE BEEN EPICALLY AMAZING AND AWESOME!

the venue is a great setup. especially the back room.

its apparently overused...hence the reason it got rolled. people need to shut up about where it is. especially before 5 pm if you're with the *in* crowd.

hopefully its still around...will lay low key for a while...and then be revived the way it should be.

I have mixed feeling about the event. It was really hot in there, my friend blacked out for a second and she wasnt even on any drugs. It was crowded there wasnt any room to dance. Other than that i had a good time and met some cool people. I met and got named by Ears (yay for north bay ravers!). She called me Fuzzy but since some of my friends used to call me Fluffy a couple years back i chose that instead.
Good fun, i hope theres a makeup event in a safer venue.

I just want to give some information to everybody who may think that Tri-Atom intended to have this event at the CH. Through the Looking Glass was NOT supposed to happen at the CH, their orignal venue had capasity for 1000+. However, due to a lot of drama, they ended up losing their venue the day before the show. After doing a mad search for a new venue and nothing could be found, it was either cancel, or crackhouse.

i agree that it can be a legit venue, the parties located there just need to be kept at a lower capacity and should be very moderately priced due to the fact that it gets rolled on ALL THE TIME.

ttlg, for me, was like the divine kick in the nuts, when all the forces of nature conspire against you and channel all their energy into one epic cock block.
first and foremost, what the fuck happened to the "open outdoor area (you will not have to wait in line to smoke!)" and "virgin venue?" I don't mind the venue it was at one bit, but I was a little peeved at having to drive in circles around oakland to get there, especially when all this driving around only made me more excited about checking out a new venue.
all in all, that was not that big of deal, especially when considering how sweet the decorations were. so even though, apparently, something fell through, tri-atom still did a kick ass job of making the most of the situation and for this i applaud them.
it was fucking ridiculously crowded in there, to the point where it was hard to breath and you were bound to elbow someone in the boobs. on top of that there were all those punk kids that kept getting in and pushing and shoving everyone to get to the bathroom. Fuck! And then finally that drama, whatever it was, that led to the cops shutting down the god damn place!

argh...

but aside from all that nonsense...

holy shit that was an awesome fucking party!

the four hours i was there were bomb, and i was stone sober for most of the night. shit, it was great seeing everyone, and finding out that i met a lot more people at heroes than i thought. damn, it was really good to see Sam, Darreal, Jennifer and Sunshine again, even though i only got to see you for a brief second. i was really excited to see sunshine, and totally bummed i didn't get to see her more before the night was cut to an end. i was so stoked to be there with the incredible music (that electro house set blew my mind) and awesome people. i really think that, had it been able to go on till the end, this party would have been as good, if not better, than spaz.

i ended up spending the last half hour trying to help someone get through a really bad trip, before the cops kicked us out. i hope he made it home alright.

another awesome night cut short by the powers of darkness!
if someone told me that the party could go on for the rest of the night if i let one of the metal kids kick me in the balls with their spikey shoes, i totally would have taken two for the team.

There was a shuttle point? I went straight from map point to the CH.

It was overcrowded, but I still had room to dance and most of the people I met were pretty friendly. I met two more RLers Psyche and Yorich! I never did get a chance to see the ball pit. I figured I'd be able to get around to it later. The music was pretty amazing and my newbie friend enjoyed herself. I was so bummed that it was over early because I was having such a great time.

hahaha glad you had a great time. despite all the setbacks, isn't it really easy to have the best of times if you just surround yourself with people you love and the music is good so you can dance or just listen?

one of my favorite parts of the night was sitting on the top platform, just watching EVERYONE.

your last line.....hahahahaha. naw man....keep your nuts. there will be more parties. nice meeting you btw.

[sausee]

Sorry to hear about the problems Tri-Atom. I didn't get there until the party got busted so I never made it in side to see the magical wonderland. I was lagging and went to the Conduit party first to drop off some fliers. From there it took me about an half hour to find the Crack house seeing how I've never been there. I did a huge circle around Oakland. If only I knew it was down the street from the Library I could of made it quicker. When I did arrive. There were cops everywhere. Parades of Ravers on every corner. I went up to one little crowd and seen some peeps I knew/knew me. I tried to make a little caravan back to the Conduit party so some of these ravers could still get there dance on. Little did I know that the other party was 21+. The promoter would of let them in but the venue owner wasn't having it. Sorry guys I tried. I'm really bummed I didn't get into the Tri Atom party. Glad to see people still had fun considering the circumstances. Tri-Atom....keep your head up....You guys are still the bomb diggidy yo.

I'm sorry, it was a good effort, but there were quite a few things that really sucked about this party. I only have one rave to compare it to so I don't know if this is how it usually goes and I just happened to stumble upon a really good rave for my first time, but I was disappointed. We got to the mappoint and followed the shitty ass directions to the "shuttle" where there were like 3 parked cars and nobody came! Somehow my friend got in touch with someone who was already at the rave to figure out where it is. So we drove around some more and when we were walking there some jackasses were outside telling us it was shut down and the party was moved to the city. But we checked and sure enough it was still going on. We got in there and it was so hard to breath in the heavy pot/cigarette/crack smoke and body sweat humidity (lol jp about the crack, I hope!!). It was packed from wall to wall and you couldn't move! The lines for the bathroom (which were fuckin disgusting) we terribly long and we kept having people from upstairs at a rock show or something push us out of the way because they had priority or some shit. That was annoying. It seemed like there was a ridiculous amount of people who weren't having any fun and some were really rude. The music was good, but the sound systems sucked pretty bad. I didn't even get to see the ballpit cuz I couldn't maneuver through the crowd. I really wanted a $1 water but I couldn't get over there either And when we needed some fresh air, we weren't allowed to get close to the outside. Right from the mappoint I felt this party was totally sketchy. We weren't even there but a half hour when the cops broke it up. I also felt like there were a lot more creepers there than the last rave I went to. I took 4 of my friends to this party who have never been to a rave and now they are totally turned off by the whole seen, but hopefully they'll get to experience a good one. I couldn't even see how the place was transformed "into a world only alice could dream of." I saw a few props here and there but maybe there were just too many people so I couldn't see what was going on. I did run into some really nice ravers, though.

I think people should get refunds. If there is a redemption party, pleeeease don't go overcapacity!

IT'S AN UNDERGROUND RAVE
YOU'RE GOING TO GET SWEATY
THERES A POSSIBILITY IT MIGHT GET SHUT DOWN
the bathrooms are NOT GOING TO BE immaculate this isnt the fucking ritz carlton its a RAVE PEOPLE
map points are common with raves, get used to it
you really need to have more appreciation for the scene and what it takes for people to throw a party. you don't know how hard they worked to get it all set up so we could have a good time.
