I can't believe it either. We should have come and kidnapped you. I have some cold and flu medicine that works like magic.

It was indeed an emotional night. The setup of the place already feels different. Went to play some pool, it was all covered up. Planned on just getting smashed but there was no happy hour anymore and drinks were double what I usually pay.

I was a little disappointed to the turn out. Between Piero, Ben & myself we sent out messages to over 1,000 people. We would have expected at least half of these to turn up. I saw quite a few people 'drop in' for 20 minutes or so. The true punters stayed 'till the end and it was well worth it. Dave, Troy & Damo cranked out a wicked 2 hour vs Hardcore set. What a way to send off Black Cat, Adelaides true Hardcore club.

Thank you to Troy, Sue, Mick, Christina, Skye, Josh, Matt, Sally, Softy, Pratty, Slide, Piero and all the regulars who gave us a home away from home each week. Words can not not express my gratitude and I hope whatever happens for you all now will give you all the happiness you deserve. We'll all catch up soon.

Big thank you also to Sally for the ice blocks and Paul for the Cuban's. They both went down well at the end of the night.

Spoke with the new owners and they said that they're still working on things. The decor will be revamped and there will be new drink specials etc. The sound is great but the lighting needs some attention. I'm sure the guys are working on this now. The club will be good for the commercial market. More housier, trancey styles of music and they're talking about putting on some happy hardcore shows. Hopefully if they can build up a clientelle and get them to attend these events it should help the rave scene gather a few more punters.

Black Cat won't be the same as we know it, but the new owners are friendly with big ideas and at least Adelaide hasn't lost another cub completely. May not appeal to us as much anymore but still some great events coming up.

well it was said originaly that it was going to be RnB and Karaoke. But now its seems something else. I dont think it is going under the Black Cat name as of now either. Theres a thread with all the different ideas and so on in the 'Shoot the Breeze' area.

Your a cracker Jarrod. Didnt you request that for Slide on Saturday night :lol:

Cos I was working in the bar at Mojo's. It was rammed as usual and we were a bit short of staff after the funeral. That and I had to entertain all the x Heaven staff and RA crew that came down. It was like a reunion hahaha :grin:

unreal night - vibe was tops - played a nice hard set - was wikid having the floor cranking so early!! love playing the harder stuff. thanks to all those that did come in early!

top lineup troy - did well with that one B| - even tho some people still believe gossip after all these years and thought otherwise...

huge respect to the hardcore boys for the end - that was an amazing ending... whole room stopped, drinks raised, everone yelling out respect for the place / Troy. was a great moment..

numbers were good early, dropped off a heap, then the hardcore crew came thru and was busy till close!!

that was that :) - good to have the farewell - as oddy said - moving on :) one door closes, another one opens right up!!

Agreed!!

Leah and I kept saying that something just wasn't right, that something was missing or different... Although there were only minor changes, the place felt completely different.. not our black cat anymore.. boo... :(

I agree again!! So many people were saying that they were disappointed to see the place go, that they had awesome times at bc, that it will be remembered yadda yadda... But then they didn't show? :blink: There were so many people that i was expecting and wanting to see that didn't come... :(

But in the end it didn't really matter... I had a great time... The regulars were there and that was all that mattered.. :cool: The line up was great :thumbsup: Big ups to troy, you did a great job!! :kiss:

It was weird saying goodbye to everyone at the end of the night, especially troy.. He was a face we saw almost every weekend...
I'm happy to say that my last time at BC (as we know it) was just like any time i went there.... awesome!! Good tunes, great people... :w00t:

Thats OK Ben we made sure we were there nice and early although you did a nice job of tricking me to get me in early... FIND on first hey?????

Had a great night was good to catch up with a lot of the BC crew, it has been a long time since BC was a regular night for me so it was nice to see some people I haven't seen in a while.
