Mother Fucking Piece Of Shit!

But please, can someone explain to me what in the world is our glorious police force doing all this time? This is happening the second time already, it is the second time that they suspect arson yet, there is not that much that is done. FU

[huggs]

good things come to those that wait...this is definitely not the end of stereo as it will only make the eventual re-opening that much sweeter!

I still want to have my tickets that I won when the time comes. ;)

truly sad for those who put in the hours to get it back up.

i understand you are upset flare, but this comment is pretty stupid. If you read the article it only says that arson is supsected, they do not even know where the fire started so until they do speculation is speculation. If it was arson, do you expect the police to be on 24 hour watch of the building? there is an arsonist on the plateau who has cost many people their homes and everything that they own, are resources more important for a night club? What happens if it is just an electrical fire or something of that nature? ;)

Count our blessings that no one was hurt, and for the sake of all of you that were really looking forward for the relaunch, i hope everything does get taken care of in due time.

I just can't believe this - can someone confirm if Stereo had placed security cameras in the building?

I do admit that I have over reacted a bit, but then again this is not excactly the news that I like waking up to when I wake up early in the morning. Especially when I am aware of how much work was put in to this project by Mike. It is trully sad that all this work has gone to the ashes before it had a chance to shine.
I do hope that it will not stop the space from reopening eventually, but I am sure a blow like this does not do much good the the morale of the people involved.

PS : First article now confirms that it was Arson, since the police found fire accelerators. So no accident.

PPS: But if the fire started on the inside of the building, that means that someone actually went inside and placed the "charge". question is how did this happened unnoticed? And as Patius mantioned, I really do hope that they had security cameras installed.

this is truly sad news sorry to hear of this and thankful that no one was hurt!!! Props to the stereo crew for working their asses off, and BOYCOTT CIRCUS my 2 cents......And i hope the police find the fuckers!!!

I don't think the legal threat is appropriate at the moment. People will point fingers like it or not. Obviously no one has a right to blame Circus or Sensation or Hell's Angels, etc. For all we know it could be some pyro who knows there are already suspecting parties...

I'd like to hear if the damage was assessed. This is going to be an insurance nightmare.

I have tons of friends coming from outside of Montreal, hopefully they'll make an announcement soon on what they will do for the 4 sold out (almost) nights. Relocation? Sigh... mp3?

[diskho]

this is horrible news. the person who did this has no heart.

if people want something to do this weekend, i suggest coming to nyc for the following festival.

http://www.electriczoofestival.com

roger sanchez, danny tenaglia, calderone, hawtin, holden, chus + ceballos, tiga, luciano, bug, francois k, frankie knuckles, desyn, corsten, etc etc........

[TODD E BTD]

Tragic news....Unreal...My heart goes out to all the people involved and making it happen, all the hours & Work involved, booking, hiring, etc. Majorily sucks. I hope it can be salvaged in the end. Whoever did do it is a Heartless Piece of Shit....Zoo Fest is what I was thinking --if all is cancelled.

I believe there has been this invention, they call it video surveillance.. I realise it isn't the year tree thousand.. but you may have noticed them at every other club in teh world, they must have procured a flux compacitor and a delorian to steal the technology from the future..

i cant read french yet, but does that circus letter say "we did it" ?
