Yea, in early 2000 when Blade (who remembers him?) was working the doors the place was pretty safe. Last time I went was 4 years ago and I could see a difference.

The only scary incident I remember from my clubbing days was at Wett Bar. My friend and I were waiting for our car in front of the club when we see two asian guys getting pushed out by the bouncers. The two asian guys are swearing and saying they'll blow shit up. A few mins later we get our car and we pull up in the alley which was behind the parking lot which was across from Wett bar, we pull behind a black ML55 and we see this one asian guy get out with a gun and he runs to the front entrance and starts shooting but no ones standing in front of the club, runs back and gets back in the ML. Pretty scary stuff seeing how we were in front of the club moments earlier.



Black dude? We use to call him Robocop because he would be rocking what look like a bullet proof vest all the time lol.

Yup. Blade was the black dood who was also in cahoots with the VPD. Then there was also the other long-timer bouncer Phil, whom I ran into working at Sonar (or whatever its called) last X'mas. After 9 years he still remembered me from the Wett Bar days lol.

looks like none of the guys were from Surrey so you can't keep the shit in surrey if most of the shit causers are from vancouver

I remember Phil, short Mexican guy right? And I think there was a UBC party that night because I remember it was back in 2001.

Close to 10 years ago, before all these problems surfaced, Boss (as we know it today) used to be Wett Bar. Those were some good times and the older crowd will remember. But then the bar was sold and was renamed to Atlantis. During the beginning stages of "Atlantis" the club was bumpin' every weekend. I would see the usual RS crew there on Friday and Saturday nights - everybody was there to have a good time. Everybody left the attitude at home. I'm confident that RS old timers like fukamoto, Ch28, CRiXy, Si Ed and a handful of others can attest to this.

Sooner than we had realized, our clubbing days were over. Our priorities changed. We were in 3rd and 4th year and worried about what to do after grad. This was the period when Atlantis was referred to as "ATL." This was when all the bad apples started to pop up. Fights broke out. More and more underaged girls on the loose. Gangsters on every corner watching your every move. It started to get uglier and uglier until people had to die, and this is when Atlantis became Boss. Of course, nothing has changed. I'm glad I don't go clubbing anymore.

Oh, and this was when cover used to be $8/$10.

My thoughts exactly. Whenever I read about how someone thinks Vancouver is such a great city, or how so and so wishes they lived here all I can do is shake my head. If only they knew..
