So tonight I’m going to the grand opening of the new club CiRCA. It’s hard to believe a venue could have so many people talking about it for so long, but this place’s opening has been a long time in the works. Delivered to us by the former king of the NYC club scene, Peter Gatien, tonight CiRCA may be the coolest club in the world. Even if it lives up to it’s hype, this place will have to be really amazing to survive, what with a questionable market for new clubs in TO - not to mention a 3000 person capacity! Anyway, last night was the invite-only pre-grand opening party featuring a performance by Missy Elliot and welcoming Paris Hilton, among others. Tonight, they’re saying there’ll be a very special guest: “one of the most instrumental people in electronic music, who laid the groundwork for not only the birth of electro music, but the nu rave culture-moment itself that has swept the entire world and is only getting crazier by the day.” I’ll report back tomorrow with details.
