From SEE Magazine, "Guy will put his Rave up against any from the past"
"You can call it a sanitized sell-out version of the normally underground Rave movement, but Guy Almog says he’s creating something people want. And he says he puts together a better rave than anyone in Edmonton, underground or otherwise.
"It’s the second rave he’s organized for the bar [after "Retrosonic Vibes," December 26, 1995], after earlier stints working on rave-related events at the Atomic Cafe, JRJ’s (now Cowboys), the Bronx (now the Rev), and Flashback.
[...] “When somebody promises you Traci Lords and she doesn’t show up (a reference to a highly-publicized warehouse party last year that was supposed to feature the well-known American performer) or the DJ’s don’t show up because [organizers] can’t come up with the budget to pay them, or you pick up a flyer and it doesn’t even say where [the rave is being held], because they don’t know until the last minute, that gives people an idea about raves."
